    More soap needed?

    Man admits washing child's mouth out with soap - Telegraph

    Birtwell had seen the boy kick an elderly man's cane and told him to stop - but the youth told him to "f*** off" and called him a "gay boy", a court heard.

    Speaking after the hearing the boy's mother said: "Things are not as bad as have been said. "I admit that my son swore and he was wrong for that, but like I said to the police at the time, kids do that kind of thing.

    Well bought up kids do not attack elderly people. They do not swear. And they do not indulge in homophobic abuse.

    Another woman needs sterilizing. And her children fostered.

    the family of course are well known to the police.

    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

        That was what I thought too. One hates to condone violence. But bearing in mind the way the kid behaved it seems proportionate.

          "Peter Bradley, director of Kidscape, which tackles bullying and safeguarding issues in relation to children, said both Birtwell and the boy could learn a lesson.

          He said: "I think the main message that people should take from this case is that adults are adults and they should act appropriately when dealing with children. "
          ...although he failed to stipulate what 'appropriately' comprised of in this type of situation...
          Clarity is everything

            ignore any abuse unless the person is white?

              Well brought up kids probably do swear, away from adults. However they don't commit assault and they don't swear at adults openly, both of which are offences.

                I thought this was going to be another budget thread, after yesterday was like every contractor in the uk had dropped the soap
                Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

                No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.
