Respect

agenda and bar room talk wants us to return to the good old days of the village bobby administering instant justice by way of a clip round the ear.

Yet as soon as a drunken, violent loutette is arrested for wanton criminal damage to cars and is dealt with in a positive manner, the woolly liberals and do-gooders shout "police brutality" from the rooftops.

The loutette pleads guilty yet maintains the police acted over the top in relation to her arrest.

We should show her the door, she is nothing but a lout. No credence should be given to her claims.

Those woolly liberals who disagree should visit our villages, towns and cities at the weekends and experience the whole scale orgiastic and irresponsible, drinkfuelled behaviour of these louts.

Support our police. God knows they deserve it.
