"To an Englishman, this is madness and anarchy."

Not to every Englishman, Richard, only, I would suggest, to one who makes his living upholding the English law.

There are many legal systems, and each country uses what achieves best results for it.

It is one of the monumental arrogances of the English that we think nobody does it as well as we do, whatever IT may be.

You will doubtless be appalled to hear that the Authorities in several towns in the north of England, and also in Scotland, are punishing louts who urinate in public places by calling out a van loaded with cleaning materials, and making them very publicly clean up their mess....SHOCK, HORROR What will this madness lead to?

Well, probably cleaner streets after the pubs close.

What it certainly WON'T mean is the end of civilisation as we know it.
