          Scotland would do better to tackle its drug and drink issues. The estates where unemployment is the norm, violence, gingers and shouty people.

          Bitey effin insects are annoying as **** to, they need to sort that.

          White pudding they need to sort that out.

                    Whilst I don't approve of smacking it should be the parent's decision and Government should leave well alone. On a very few occasions it's been unavoidable in my opinion and I smacked my kids (who are now a grown up 32, 30 and 24) even though I always said I'd never smack them. Until you've had thirty sleepless nights on the trot managing a newborn whilst your other two are going hammer and tongs you've got no idea. Plus all the holier than thou brigade get my goat. No way should it be criminalised. There's child abuse legislation in place already.

                      Abusing children is as you say, criminalised. Why should there be a special defence against an assault charge, when the victim is a child? They should have more protection, not less, regardless of cultural norms around assaulting children.
