Hello Gangsta Patrick,
Yes - you're right about the government - I don't trust that load of lying, manipulative gits - they're just a load of lying manipulative gits. Full stop. And yes I know that not all teeny-boppers are mad-dog, gun-toting toy 'soldiers' - most of the young ones I have contact with are more worried about their next grade mark on the flute or viola. Bless. They're lovely little being - and mostly taller than me.
Ach. The 'Madeline' saga is obscene - it's driving me nuts -its mawkish sentimentality and prurient speculation - besides they shouldn't have left three kids under three years of age out of ear shot whilst they wined and dined - that's what I say - oops that was the other Geraldine speaking (I think there might be three at the moment or even four G's - what a ghastly thought).
Anyway the 'lads' next door are having a very-very loud bar-bee-queue as I write which is fine as long as it's just loud but I swear if they put one more brick through my car window I'm gonna go dahn town and get one of those bloody guns that are two a penny and available at your local corner shop and blow they're flipping heads off. Ach Patrick - you're not next door at the B.B.Q. are you? You old bugger - behave yourself! Right. I'm off to get my gun.
No officer it was that Patrick.
G.

Gosh that Geraldine is going for it all
I was wondering -somewhere or other I read that the Gov/tabloids have a lot of agendas re reporting things ie the whole country is full of teenage gangsters killing each other -each single death like the Madeleine saga is magnified so that the impression is that it is happening in one's own home -so that we get even more restrictions to freedom more cameras etc
Be good to get the actual figures -I remember things happening say in the 1940's it's always the wild young (did they say that in ancient Greece?
Well enough naive (if I can spell it words are tricky what!!)rambling from this silver surfer mugger shoplifter poetaster
Lovely sun outside this morning good day for a street riot do the bank over again
Cheers P
Oops MI5 ,SAS police knocking on the door

Geraldine,
Of course I've thought it through you moron. Do you think I'd just come out with some glib statement asking for something so drastic without giving it some thought! O.K. I get your point but I don't agree with Snuff Movies or Child Pornography or Homosexual Bashing or Children killing Children as if that makes me a Daily Mail reader then maybe I should ditch the fecking Guardian and start reading it!!!!
Seriously this is getting serious and I just said that that god awful load of pernious clap-trap Gangsta Rap has a lot to answer for. It's got middle-classy-sort-of-kids pretending they're from the streets - how insulting is that to the underprivedled. It almost as bad as Champagne Socialists! And yes I don't think Blair and Prescott did morality any favours.
That's all I can say at the moment,
Geraldine

Geraldine,
Well of course we're all horrified by the killing fest, this is a knee jerk reaction worthy of the Daily Mail. If you censor one thing whose to be the judge of what else is to be censored? It's a slippery slope - yes - no? The judge will be faceless and tasteless and probably censor much work you laud and applaud. Have you thought this through?

Dunno dunno but with yet another killing - it seems almost daily and the perpetrators and victims are getting younger - an 11 year old playing footie today.
I've never been a believer of censorship but I'm beginning to change my mind. When the absence of a father or a family that gives a damn is replaced by that load of evil invective clap-trap calling itself Gangsta Rap - or whatever it calls itself - with it's glorification of guns and violence and death and hatred of women (bitches as they like to call us) and homosexuals - and I suppose life generally I just wish we'd never allowed such evil to be aired. Cool dudes making evil cool and entertaining. One death would have been one too many but this is becoming commonplace and it's bloody scary and totally depressing - not least because we're almost getting used to it. Oh another little one shot/stabbed to death on our doorstep - I'm losing track of how many this year alone.
Just some late night worries - and who wouldn't when we see our little ones - and they are our little ones - blowing each others brains out and stabbing each other to death. What the hell is happening? It's just too awful to contemplate.
