It amuses me somewhat, about the hype and emphasis that the government is putting on its “revolutionary” ASBO’s (Antisocial Behaviour Orders) – the ability of local police and so on to issue on the spot fines and take into custody “yobs” who breach the peace. Lots of publicity and media coverage has been given to this new way of dealing with such people.
But when we were forced to call the police last night, after a group of individuals who we ejected from the club were not only causing trouble, using illegal substances and fighting with the doormen, but then returned a couple of hours later to bombard us with rocks and stones, no-one even showed up to find out what was going on or even take a statement. When we gave an explicit location for the offenders, did anyone go and apprehend the hooligans?
What do you think?
