Blair, Hoodies and cars

Writing about web page http://www.crimereduction.gov.uk/antisocialbehaviour43.htm

Tony Blair gave his backing to the Bluewater shopping centre's ban on hoodies. And we are told that New Labour is a version of Social Democracy, which in turn is an amalgam of liberalism and socialism

Clearly having got rid of the socialism bit (private finance initiative, anti trade union laws etc.), Blair now wants to get rid of the liberal bit (id cards, banning people due to appearance, faith schools etc.)

What do real people really perceive as anti social behaviour? Top of this list

* Speeding Traffic

* Parked cars

The extent to which the media, funded by motor industry advertising revenue, has succeeded in marginalising the opinions of the majority and diverted the attention of the public by demonising young people, is quite amazing.
