Revolting youth: Part 2
As Tom rightly points out below, the UK's youth are a revolting bunch of thugs, bullies and alcoholics. So all praise to the police of Bridlington who have come up with a novel way of dealing with these troublemakers. I'll let local newspaper Bridlington Today take up the story:
Posters of people with Anti-Social Behaviour Orders will be displayed in the town centre in what is the first scheme of its kind in the country. The posters will feature pictures of the troublemakers, information about their ASBOs and what to do if people see them causing a nuisance. They will be put on one of the town's public information pillars and are intended as a deterrent to yobbish behaviour and to help enforce ASBO bans.
What a great idea. Although deep down, i know we're all pining for the grand old days of public lynchings. But well done Bridlington, this is a great start.

i run the company that installed this pillar and we are going to be putting up more across the UK throughout the foreseeable future.
we hope this provides the public with re assureance that something is being done by the Police and the councils who are often portrayed as doing nothing.
we are glad to be involved in this scheme.
