Whilst this is unfortunate for the little girl, this is an isolated incident and not everyone in this country crosses the street just to punch someone or condones this!

It's indicative of the general moral decay in British society that has been happening since Thatcher came to power in the late 70s. Far from being an isolated incident like certain people with an agenda would like you to believe these sort of things happen all the time as can be witnessed by the numerous indidents like this caught on the nation's CCTV cameras or by talking to any police officer that has the misfortune to work the streets of the towns and cities of this 'fine' nation!

A lack of any real deterrent plus role models like our lying corrupt politicians and an utterly morally bankrupt gutter press do nothing to reinforce the morals of a civilised society ergo we are ending up with what we deserve....a lawless sh1thole for a country!

Also if you really knew just how few police are actually on duty in your area overnight you would be worried to say the least!

Whilst there may well be a 'story' behind this, I just cannot comprehend what this bloke may feel justifies his action. Has to be related to mental health issues, surely?

That would be my first guess, either that or drug/alcohol related. Obviously the latter is no excuse but the former makes the whole thing a different story.

Certainly enough to persuade F1 to get his soap box out

Just a rubbish story. Just some minor argument and girl got knocked over perhaps.

Well you go on believing all is rosy in Sh1tesville if you want. Within two years I'll be gone and personally I hope the place gets worse and you all rot in the cesspit of your own making!

So it's either utopia or sh1thole? I'm fairly sure there's quite a lot of space between those equally stupid positions.

Absolutely nothing. Then again you mentioned it on here, so I asked on here.

Are you suffering some sort of mental episode today?

Er..... no, it's not even worth pointing out

You seem to defend eveything about this place including the politicians and in fact you probably think the press didn't need a Royal Charter so ..... well as I say it's not even worh pointing out the obvious!

Yep, in an attempt to get on your level so I can understand a conversation with you

Look you will defend anything and everything about the UK for some reason whereas I think we are getting the country we deserve given the fact we let the powers that be carry on as they please and as they pelase seems to involve lying and cheating and generally being self serving and little else.

Ergo we have no common ground whatsoever so discussion is futile!

At the end of the day I don't like what this place has become so when finances permit I am voting with my feet!

I'm sure we could have a whip-round!

Your interpretation of everything being terrible and my disagreement with that somehow in your head gets translated into I defend everything - a very curious thought process.

Anyway you've brightened up my lunch break, so thanks

No thanks as unlike most people in this country I won't take hand outs.

I have never had or needed a penny from anyone and this will be no different! If it doesn't work out then so be it!

As for brightening up your lunch time I susepct a baby rattle would keep you amused for hours so you can have your thanks back!

PS I am not the only one to mention your defence of everything especially the poltiticians as well you know... maybe we're all wrong eh?

Good riddance! Perhaps we can have a whip around top send you on your way to Oz that bit sooner. It'll be a cesspit wherever you go such is your mentality.

Out of interest, where is this completely fair, zero-crime, wealthy, brilliant utopia that you're going? Im intrigued as to where this is and how you can seem to guarantee that none of their politicians lie......ever.

Oh, and I bet you'll still be trolling scoobynet lol
