Hug-a-hoody Tory mugged by hoodies.
 

Although violence is never funny, there is a certain amusing irony about this story, which saw 'Dave' Cameron's hug a hoody speech writer, attacked by hoodies.

Perhaps now the Conservatives will come up with another idea about tackling the feral youth of Britain, rather than telling us to hug them.

I think this just highlights the problems with our broken society. I shouldn't need to mention it but he never mentioned hugging hoodies, the term was engineered by a tabloid. It's a shame some papers can't look at the issue and see that what we're doing at the moment is simply not working, we need a different approach to fix our broken society.

Wonderful garinda, well spotted, there was a similar thing some years ago with a counciller saying police should not be chasing around after car thieves, weeks later he was chatting to a patrol car driver, and his car drove past them, the councillor told the patrol car driver 'dont sit there, get after them' was a peach!

Re: Hug-a-hoody Tory mugged by hoodies.
 

wether said or not is irrelevant as the speech was advocating a " Softer Approach to Violent Crime" i think its very ironic.:rolleyes: wonder if he still feels the same?

Re: Hug-a-hoody Tory mugged by hoodies.
 

What absolute rubbish! They are not soft on crime, that would be silly. Its about understanding why there are kids that do things like this. Looking at how we can solve the problems.

Re: Hug-a-hoody Tory mugged by hoodies.
 

well it was the Times,it aint no socialist rag.:D

Re: Hug-a-hoody Tory mugged by hoodies.
 

Indeed it is, I hope you're not under the illusion that every historically right paper and every left paper do nothing but publish positive articles for the respective party as some kind of propaganda machine. :p

Re: Hug-a-hoody Tory mugged by hoodies.
 

My quote's from the Times.

You'll find it's been reported in most of the press.

Surely all the press can't be wrong.

It's even in the arch Tory Bible, the Daily Telegraph.

Re: Hug-a-hoody Tory mugged by hoodies.
 

not really papers publish what sells n sod the impact on folk, but far as i'm aware the times do not fund the labour party.

But yes I agree, the papers publish things and write things in a way that will get the most reads.

Re: Hug-a-hoody Tory mugged by hoodies.
 

(Less puts on his care in the community voice),
Of course it's absolute rubbish! Anyone with sense would know that a Conservative only cares about Conservatives, (though like with Roman Emporer's watch out for the blade between the shoulders), if there is one thing Conservatives won't be soft on it's crime from the blue collar class, after all most of the white collar crimes are caused by people that vote in one certain direction.
I doubt that any Conservative can understand how a hoody thinks it's right that he should commit crimes to earn financial gain, perhaps it's for the same reason as the fraudulent millionaire? Greed?
:confused:

Re: Hug-a-hoody Tory mugged by hoodies.
 

I think we should have a philosophical debate on human nature. ;) :D

Re: Hug-a-hoody Tory mugged by hoodies.
 

Unless of course the hoodies are going to vote Conservative, attracted by the soft and caring attitude Cameron has for them.

Perhaps he'll suggest that mugging is really a burgeoning small business enterprise, and deserves a start up grant.

Re: Hug-a-hoody Tory mugged by hoodies.
 

But they write things that will get 'most reads' by their target audiences - so for example the Daily Mail knows that it will get most reads by its target of 'outraged of middle England' whereas the Guardian is going for 'most reads' by people who wear aran sweaters and eat lentils. :D

So of course they're biaised.

Re: Hug-a-hoody Tory mugged by hoodies.
 

So which biased papers do you read , beside the Accy Observer?

Maybe The Telegraph ;)

Re: Hug-a-hoody Tory mugged by hoodies.
 

What do you think?

Lentil and orange soup is delicious ;)

Re: Hug-a-hoody Tory mugged by hoodies.
 

That says it all for me. I do see the irony, cant see the amusement though

Re: Hug-a-hoody Tory mugged by hoodies.
 

A clip round the ear wouldent do any harm,,, its your namby pamby attitude to kids that let them get away with anything today,, its a shame some of OUR parents and grandparents arnt around today,, Just one look would make you behave yourself,:gooddog:

Re: Hug-a-hoody Tory mugged by hoodies.
 

I most certainly dont have a namby pamby attitude! :D

Re: Hug-a-hoody Tory mugged by hoodies.
 

I thought Tory and Namby Pamby went together like Fish and Chips!:p

Re: Hug-a-hoody Tory mugged by hoodies.
 

i would certainly not agree with that.

Re: Hug-a-hoody Tory mugged by hoodies.
 

Didn't andrewb used to be called NambiPambi on here, or am I getting mixed up?

I do think it's odd when people keep changing their user names.:D

Re: Hug-a-hoody Tory mugged by hoodies.
 

now thats unfair, i reckon it was cos he wants everyone to know who he is.:eek:;)

Re: Hug-a-hoody Tory mugged by hoodies.
 

hes the one up camerons ass mate ;)

Re: Hug-a-hoody Tory mugged by hoodies.
 

The question is do we want to know who he is?


Is he after this by any chance? :thankya::thankya::thankya:

Re: Hug-a-hoody Tory mugged by hoodies.
 

This is like a conspiracy theory. I changed it because I didn't like the old one I created many moons ago. Nothing more to it than that I'm afraid!

Re: Hug-a-hoody Tory mugged by hoodies.
 

If all we do is punish people and don't consider the reasons for the behaviour in the first place then it will keep on recurring.

Since the existance of nuclear families has become less and less common as different types of family have become more common and acceptable, such as single parent families and even same sex families to an extent, it seems the attitudes of young people are changing for the worst and they are becoming more unhappy in life and resorting to violence, drinking, drugs and underage sex.

Whilst there is nothing WRONG with different types of family, the conservative party want to strengthen families and create a more stable environment in the home for young people so that they are hopefully less likely to resort to criminal activity. Whilst we may be wrong about the cause of this attitude in young people, it is at least an attempt to find the root of the problem.

A weed has to be pulled out by the root, you can't just chop its head off or it'll keep coming back.

Re: Hug-a-hoody Tory mugged by hoodies.
 

If lilly livered spineless pc loving halfwits left us alone to raise kids with a good hiding we wouldn't in my opinion halve have the problems we have. Bad enough that Euroland, with cowering compliance from our politictions has given these little horrors so much protection that even the law is powerless in some cases. A good hiding never did me any harm because to get into trouble lead to it so easy and less painful to stay out of trouble if I could and I am no angel.

Re: Hug-a-hoody Tory mugged by hoodies.
 

well said spuggie, i couldnt agree more

Re: Hug-a-hoody Tory mugged by hoodies.
 

I think parents who hit their children need to go to a parenting class. Many people learn discipline without being physically beaten, it's just not necessary in my opinion, at least not as often as it's used.

If violence is the only solution for violence then it is a very sad society we're living in.

Re: Hug-a-hoody Tory mugged by hoodies.
 

Same here the trouble today is there are no consequences for bad behaviour!!!! If you send a kid to their room it is not a punishment because most kids have all they need in there. Was very rare for me to get into trouble at school and if I did wasn't in the habit of running home to tell my Mum because I got told off by her as well!!!!

Re: Hug-a-hoody Tory mugged by hoodies.
 

Then why are we out kicking ass in foreign countries? Biggest mistake the schools made was being banned from using the cane and strap for bad behavior. Trust me a good wack of the cane made you think twice about getting in bother.

Re: Hug-a-hoody Tory mugged by hoodies.
 

i think people without kids should keep their opinions on parenting to themselves :idunno:

Re: Hug-a-hoody Tory mugged by hoodies.
 

But then we wouldn't have any experts ;)

Re: Hug-a-hoody Tory mugged by hoodies.
 

if a parent hits a child and it goes on to commit the same offence again then obviously the parent should be held totaly resposible..

for not hitting it hard enough the first time
