If only we were as tough with the criminals and scummers roaming our streets the country would be a better place.
Then again it's always easier to go for the low-hanging fruit and avoid the real issues. Like why on earth we are supporting the Olympics in China. This government are so keep to pander to political correctness they are willing to sell their souls. They refuse to protect British citizens from crime, protect the rights of criminals, and yet support a country with one of the worst human rights records around. Soft-minded bloody hypocrites!
