I'm trying to raise the bond for a (rented) house. There's a bond scheme in Telford, but only if you're under 25, if you're over 25, they "may" help, but only if you have convictions for "substance misuse"....my next move is to sit on the town hall steps sniffing the brasso tin!

This would be a punishment for him as it would be long and tiring, but also it would get him doing something productive for the people he has harmed. I can't see how giving him quad bike lessons would help - as you say, it could make the problem worse. The judge's decision shows that there needs to be some accountability for the decisions made by the judiciary. I favour the election of police chiefs and judges by those communities they serve.

My kids now understand why I can't buy them as many treats as we used to, as more money has to go on tax / council-tax to pay for guttersnipes like this to get treats at our expense. They feel there's an injustice somewhere along the lines. How come a bunch of kids can see this is wrong, but the so called "leaders" of the people think this is correct? I saw this in the paper too.
