LETTERS – Who thinks up this rubbish?

The ‘clampdown’ on anti-social behaviour has just been announced by the government at the same time as we have seen there is going to be a reduction in the number of PCSOs in the area.
It makes me wonder who thinks up this patronising rubbish which insults everyone in the country with more than two brain cells.
Living in London for six months of the year I have witnessed anti-social acts down there that would rightly be called a riot in Lincolnshire.
Who is going to police this then? I’ve watched and listened with dismay at the abuse our magnificent male and female police officers have been subjected to in the press which has reached the level of hysteria in some quarters, let alone what they face on the streets on a daily basis.
With the Right Rev Gary Lineker (the next Archbishop of Canterbury) in the chorus line, a man with the heart of a saint, the head of a footballer and a messiah complex, we have repeatedly heard the term ‘institutional racism.’ A phrase that a tsunami of ignorance surrounds.
If you promote someone because of their colour creed or gender that is also institutional racism (McPhearson report in to the death of Stephen Lawrence). The BBC please note…
In the case where the term was totally appropriate, of over 150 white men suing the MOD because they were denied entry to the Royal Air Force because of their colour, not one national newspaper used the term. Work that one out Sherlock…
Now instead of banning laughing gas may I suggest a bin liner full should be dropped off at every residents address in the country to enable us to cope with a government that has completely lost the plot on so many issues.
