[Barrie Yates]

As a lad - long time ago, I could manage to get enough pints down my neck during the old fashioned evening opening hours to get totally bladdered on rare occasions - could not afford to do it too often on my apprentice wage.
When of age, I would go out with my Dad one night a week and learnt acceptable behaviour from those evenings. I respected him and the majority of my elders - not all as there were prats in my day too.
IMHO, more Police, sensible drinking hours - say 1100 to 2359, stiffer penalties for transgressors of the law, borstal or prison sentences for repeat/serious offenders.
Hard time when inside - forget human rights, transgressors surrender those, no TV, mobile phones or any other luxury - and physical work for the general community - sewing mail bags perhaps, making car number plates (as they do in the US), and give them say 10% of the UK minimum wage to buy necessities - toothpaste, etc. Incarceration establishments should also be non-smoking. When we had capital/corporal punishment there did not seem to be as many social problems as we have now - hooliganism was virtually unknown in the Isle of Man when birching was still in practice.
We have had too many Liberal do-gooders in all political parties - I might have been a hooligan in my younger days but never got into serious trouble (well, never got caught).
