Robbo-Jambo Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 5 hours ago, I P Knightley said: First thing you've done right is that you care. I know a lot of families where the kids are off the rails or heading there because the parents are not interested enough to focus on their kids. They're selfish; they care about getting their hair done or getting out for golf twice in the weekend, going out for meals and a bevvy; working more hours than necessary so that they have more money than they actually need but they want to drive a car that's under 2 years old and has all the gizmos. Kids are a distraction and an annoyance so keep them happy by buying them stuff: Playstation; AirMax; Canada Goose... giving in to their every demand because they are just not prepared to challenge the kids. So the kids grow up believing that they can do whatever they like. Some kids will fall into friendship groups where they manage to avoid the seriously mental stuff but others land badly. Without parents showing them the way, they do whatever their mates tell them is fun. Not helped that the feckless parents will all-of-a-sudden get heavily invested if you or the police or the kids' school decide to take action against the kids. Then they'll do what they think parents should do and get involved in defending their kids. It's pathetic and I've seen it over and over and over. I often think this as I go about the parks, river banks and canal banks around my area. The councils haven't committed the money to keeping our areas in top shape but there's nothing that a few days of effort put in by a chain gang (for want of a better word) wouldn't be able to put right. Good post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our street has blocks of flats up and down on both sides and it acts like a wind tunnel. In strong winds you daren't put the recycling bins out the day before or their contents will be blown everywhere. That of course is the result of the council changing the old green landfill bins into recycling bins instead of supplying something fit for purpose that doesn't open up and spew out the loose contents when blown over!

jack D and coke Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 On 17/03/2021 at 16:33, Sharpie said: I have referred to in other posts a makeshift unit that was created to cease activities of a gang called the Jacobites. They started in a showground in Niddrie Mains Road, jostling threatening and just being a nuisance. Their considered success saw an escalation in numbers and their activities more serious. I personally took the report of a young man in a wheelchair being seriously assaulted by some members of the gang. They were arrested shortly after and incarcerated at Braid Place. Police were concerned for their well being and visited them in their cell to see they were being properly taken care of. As a result of their unlawful actions a small group of experienced officers were detailed into a team under a sergeant to deescalate the gangs activities. We did with success, by a series of actions that possibly could have been classed as harrassment, but they were too stupid to complain. They were accused of loitering, and when they moved to a bus stop to beat this tactic two policemen joined them and ensured that getting on the bus cost them a fare and when they got off we did also. It all came to an end when they were at a pub in an old house on either Old Dalkeith Road or Gilmerton Road I forget now, and caused a major disturbance. The leaders particularly were arrested, and convicted of various crimes. A total success. We never broke the law or regulations to enforce our will we just took it to the limits of correctness at times, as the saying goes when the going gets tough the tough get going. How it used to be. Laughable to think about the police doing stuff like that now. Every copper i see now as well is about 5ft 5 and tubby.

Referring to the police as pigs, and obviously not a supporter if you could get. rid of them who would you appoint in their place. Would their job involve law enforcement, or just let the disorderly sort themselves out. Traffic enforcement same thing, I agree with your right to state your opinion in a free society, but where you have such disdain and broadcast it so publicly I just think you mebbe should be prepared to get rid of pigs and advise to whom you would delegate the authority they use.

It is. I haven't seen a single person happy with the content of the bill. Blaming left/right/centre is all well and good, but it really misses the point. Fear of oppression (to say nothing of oppression itself) will always cause backlash, and for good reason: it's anathema to the idea of a free society.

Sharpie Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 The world at this time is dysfunctional. Miami having to act because of dysfunctional behaviour during the Spring Break, Edinburgh in chaos because of rampaging children basically because they are not controlled by legal action. Still protests and demonstrations about everything in the United States. After four years of no immigration a billion dollar wall and endless criticism of the government actions the gates have been thrown open by a new President and chaos reigns. In Kelowna here, a mid size beautiful holiday town, in one of the reputed to be most beautiful regions in Canada, skiing in the snowy mountains in winter, lakes for boating, swimming fishing, in summer. Beautiful weather a paradise on earth, but there are at least so far peaceful but angry protests about masks, vaccines, closed facilities, including restrictions on congregations at church services. There have been fights in malls and stores where masks are mandatory, violence and damage seem to have become a normalcy, yes Covid is a terrible terrible pandemic, but surely the way to face an enemy is unity, standing together, putting aside for the time being our differences to face the challenges, but not us we are the higher species and know best.

In my time it was mixed National Service and Regulars in training. There were even some who had been given a choice in Court the army or Borstal. There was no one under 171/2, so we were treated as men. There was bullying, insults, threats, charges, and even sly assaults, what there was none of other than barrack room chatter complaints. I have said before the Guards Depot of my exact time was described as a Hell on Earth for these young men ., this by Canadian officers. On completion of training and into full service, the Court ordered hooks,crooks and comic singers became what they were, discipline was administered by the victim, or went unpunished. If you wanted to meet real hard men, court sentenced people from Liverpool, and East London rated as hard a group as I ever met in thirty six years of police service. I did meet some of my former servicemen, and the experience they had did in fact make them better people, the fear of getting sent back of course could have been another motivator. Of course what went on in 1952 would probably not be allowed now, when you see some of the stuff it's too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the reasons I left the Navy in 1990(31 years ago this April), was because it was relaxing discipline in an effort to keep guys( no women at sea at the time then) from handing in their notice(18 months notice back then) and leaving My last sea draft( ship) was Hms Andromeda 1987-Jan 1990. I was LHOM(Leading hand of the mess) 3 Lima mess(all communications ratings leading hand and below), I went weekend leave on the Friday as I wasnt duty at all over the weekend. When I got back onboard the Monday morning I was informed that one of the mess was in the Royal Naval Hospital with a fractured skull. Naturally this was complete news to me. What had happened was he and another guy had, had a dispute and the other guy had cracked him over the head with a Sampson bar. A Sampson bar was a round piece of hollow metal, Iron which was used to go over the clips of watertight doors to make the clips really tight to preserve the watertight integrity of the ship. He came within an inch according to the medical staff at Haslar of killing the other guy. Naturally he was court martialled. His court martial was being held whilst we were away at sea, and the only person the captain would allow to attend was the yeoman, my immediate superior, to give a character reference for the accused. No one else was allowed to attend. The guy got 90 days detention quarters(90 days in Naval prison at Portsmouth), 90 days for fracturing someone's skull. To me he should have got alot more than that and dismissed from the service. As I said they were desperate to keep guys in. I knew I wouldnt be signing on again after my nine years man time was up.

No bones were broken and no lungs were damaged. Lying bassas.
