I remember when I was alive, back in the '60s and '70s. Half term saw a rise in general naughtiness, with children ringing doorbells and running away, riding their bikes without lights at dusk and pilfering the pick-'n-mix at Woolies. Still, society managed somehow to survive.
Wind forward to 2021 and police were called to a retail park in Walsall where two cheeky, little rapscallions WERE THREATENING PEOPLE WITH A GUN (a toy, as it turned out) and carrying a large kitchen knife!
These two tiny bundles of fun were...........aged 10 and 11! Yes, that's 10 and 11!!.
We are told that they and two pals - aged 11 and 7 - yes, that's 7! - were escorted home by police who were going to have a word with their parents.
A chat with mummy and daddy? I know the law limits the options available for dealing with such micro-shits/future serial killers but maybe we should reassess - like locking the little bastards away for 25 years, during which time they undergo intense psychological therapy and electric shock treatment!
Dear Greta Thunberg,
This saving the planet business? Is it really worth it?
Regards,
Reg.
