Re: Those Nasty Met Coppers are at it again.

I'm not saying they are ALL under 18 but a good part of them are. The ones who are over 18 deserve everything that comes at them.

Re: Those Nasty Met Coppers are at it again.

The ones I'm seeing on SkyNews are for the most part under 18 and if they aren't under their parents' control, then they go under the state's control. End of.

Re: Those Nasty Met Coppers are at it again.

These children must be taught that they cannot laugh and jab at the police and smash everything in sight. Curfew starting tonight and if the parents can't keep their kids in, let them get hauled off.

Re: Those Nasty Met Coppers are at it again.

It's horrible. Something must be done to stop it, no matter what supposedly started it.

Curfew for starters.

I've actually seen the "Texas is bigger than France" t-shirt worn by a Londoner.

Re: " Americanism's " Changing the British language.

From "breeches" - old English for trousers - "britches" is a southern thang. The Dutch say "broek."

Re: " Americanism's " Changing the British language.

Grrr.... the use of 's to indicate plural is legitimate with borrow-words in Dutch - thus the plural of baby is baby's.
