Says it all: from BBC news online.

Man stripped in skinhead attack

A gang of skinheads kicked and punched a homeless man in an unprovoked attack before stripping him and leaving him naked in the street.
The 45-year-old suffered "severe" bruising to his eyes and may have been left with permanent eye damage after the attack outside a nightclub.

Police say the victim, who had been drinking, can remember little about the assault outside Southampton's Venue.

Details of Wednesday's attack have been released in an appeal for witnesses.

A police spokesman said: "It's believed the attackers found the incident funny."



Where's the empathy, pity, understanding, respect for other human beings ?

Grrrr...pure sub human savages.

But look on the bright side, what about the free goody bag with flip-flops, beach bag, sunbathing mat, DVD, bikini, a book and much, much more, why are people in the UK so negative???

In some ways it's even "funnier" in Canada because it's not only violent idiots beating on vulnerable people in society as in this example:

but some cops like to exert their power as well as in this example:

...and then there's the government.

(Unfortunately, there are many more examples.)

Yeah really.

'Internet at its worst': Crown
Last updated Jun 8 2005 08:16 AM MDT

CALGARY – A case where a child was allegedly assaulted live during a web broadcast is extremely unusual and an example of the internet at its worst, the Crown prosecuting the case said.

A 36-year-old Fort McMurray man is facing charges of child pornography, sexual interference, sexual assault, counselling an offence and counselling an offence of sexual assault.

"This is extremely unusual, this case," Crown Steven Bilodeau said. "This is the first where the allegations are that a child was being molested live on the internet."

RCMP say they were tipped to the crime by a woman in Missouri, who was watching a webcast in April when she saw an assault on a child, believed to be between five and nine.

Bilodeau, who works full time on internet and technology cases, says this is his first experience with an alleged sexual assault being broadcast live on the web.

"We since have another [unrelated] file where a child was allegedly molested, but this was recorded and then broadcast via webcam," he said. "So this is happening. It's happening out there.

"When you see child pornography on the internet, you have to remember this is a child being sexually abused and that abuse is being photographed."

Tuesday, Justice Minister Irwin Cotler promised tougher sentences in child pornography cases, as new legislation passed first reading.

"This is a very good bill for all those who care, and should care, about protecting children against child pornographers," Cotler said.

The man charged in the webcast case is out on bail, but had his computer seized. He will next appear in court in two weeks.

I think you should stay in the lounge.....your 'humour' might be appreciated there.

I think you should kiss my ass

I've seen plenty of "funny" incodents at my Canadian University.
I agree the UK has a problem and this isn't aimed at anyone in particular but I often get the impression people on here think that Canada has not one single problem or bad side and Britain is some kind of disgrace and that Canada doesnt share any of its issues which seems very niave.

Rich_007

Not true, it's simply the sheer amount of times we get to read/hear about such things happening UK-side. And the fact that behaviour and attitude is deteriorating culture-wide, not so much a microcosm of trash/chavvy scum, but whole swathes of degenerate slobs within and across society.

I don't know if you can ever appreciate the difference the Brits see when the come to Canada and experience manners, civility, respect, patience, more tolerance, more respect for elders, less raod rage, and teens with manners and the ability to communicate not merely grunt, etc. No, "Canada is not Shangri-La" as I often say, but it has a damned site better QOL.

Grim stuff. Call me cyncial or pessimistic in that respect. But one thing which appeals in Canada is the improved QOL and the positive impact it will have on our own lives. More, a better fit with our social expectations.

Nice attitude....not surprising you got fired.

Britain isn't all bad. It should be noted that vast swathes of the UK have an extremely low crime rate. I have relatives in rural England, (Lancashire and Buckinghamshire) and they never encounter any crime whatsoever. Teens were they live are polite, strangers say good morning etc.
The crime problem is far worse in urban areas, which is where 99% of scummy people live.

Lord Lionheart

Pathetic........I took this to PM, we can exchange messages there if you want, and if I can be bothered to reply. No need for everyone else to suffer since you insist on continuing a disagreement from months ago.
Have a nice day

I agree,and it kinda pisses me off a bit how people here seem to relish in the fact that the UK has its problems, but they never seem to show any links of the unsavoury events that are happening in canada, and believe me, there are lots, why not be more balanced and start showing what goers on in canada???, i go to a local newspaper online in the saulte in canada, and the police records file there shows the same sort of thing happening there, or do some people want to turn a blind eye as they are now living in canada eh?

Brodel

I'm only going by my experiences in Canada whilst at University.
I see mindless vandalism every weekend, lights smashed, ceiling tiles torn down, posters pulled off the wall, drunk people running around. I even witnessed my first ever break in whilst in Canada and had to make a statement to the police.
It doesnt taint my view of Canda, it is a great place. It just seems that a lot of people only think these things only happen in the UK and once at the doors of Canada it is all behind them.
