After the murder of 11 year old Rhys Jones, this is the headline on my local news, Man dies after street gang attack.

So is Britain turning to a ball of shit? Is Melanie Philips warnings about 'feral youth' coming to pass or is just another moral panic which will blow over in a few weeks?

seems a shame tbh.... i know objectively its better that this kind of thing doesnt go on... but it was bloody good fun at the time and if nothing else everyone got a kicking at some point no matter how big they were... and i'm a firm believer everyone needs a kicking at some point in there life... teaches u a lesson

I was reading this the other day, the theory that lead pollution was a factor in the 20th century violent crime spike. J Harris's laughable memories of violence at "Church Hall discos" The stuff of Richard Allen novels for sure.
