Thread Name: BS: English Football Thugs Film
Subject: RE: BS: English Football Thugs Film
Well, it's partially true. There is an amount of football related violence. It has been very much reduced in the last few years, but it still exists.

Our football thugs the worst in the world? There or thereabouts...

Law and order on the streets? Not really. The police spend more time on paperwork than patrol, and the senior officers seem to regard their forces as a social engineering tool.

Why chase muggers when you can prosecute minor motoring offenses? A mugger hasn't got a number-plate on. Might actually take some work to find them...

And Friday or Saturday night in a city centre, over-run with drunken young louts, turfed out of drinking barns after getting tanked up on cheap alcohol. Law and order? I believe it's the name of a chain pub...
