Bleeding heart, Barry Hugill of campaign group Liberty, thinks that Darlington Borough Council have infringed the human rights of a fourteen year old yob, by publishing notices about the Anti Social Behaviour Order they've taken out against him.
Bonkers Barry is concerned that residents of the Skerne Park Estate in Darlington, might think ill of the lad who's committed hundreds of offences, and now they know where the little bastard lives, one or two might take the law into their own hands and give him a thick ear or a kick up the arse.
Booo hooo Barry, should try living next door to the problem for a while, and then he might think naming and shaming was more than called for. If it were up to me, I'd put a pillory in the town square and fasten them in it for a first offence. Forty eight hours of derision, abuse, and being pelted with rotten fruit should do the trick and if it didn't, a public whipping would sort them out. I'd charge for tickets and turn it into a theatrical event. Let me see - an unemployed wrestler in a black hood and tights could lash them with a riding crop, and I'd have audience participation, like at the pantomime.
'He's behind yooou!'
'Oh no he isn't!'
Whack!
I think that might cut the crime figures in a jiffy - don't you?

Do you reckon we should bring back the Birch? That's a serious question. After all, if all those folk with more money than sense, can pay serious folding money at the Sauna for exactly the same treatment, how can it be considered inhumane?
Q
Inhumane? I'd just ask how humane it is to let the dregs of humanity persecute the rest of us and demonstrate time after time to the younger scum, that they are utterly untouchable. Every town has kids with hundreds of offences. The cops pick them up, do the paperwork and send them home again... Great system - sends out all the right messages doesn't it?
The birch - that's the business, or a riding crop - cheap as chips and twice as nasty.
'Jason Fatbelly, you will be taken to the town square where you will receive fifty lashes. Take him down. Next?'
'There are no more offenders your worship.'
'Oh - then the court is ajourned.'
'All rise.'
Should that be Barry HUGEArse? LOL
