A clip round the ear could land a lady in jail
Discussion
The daughter of a WW2 pilot who had for some time been annoyed by yobbos continually defacing and generally trashing a War Memorial and who apparently got no assistance from the police, finally faced up to 15 youths in the memorial gardens and clipped the 'ring-leader' round the ear.
Needless to say, she is now under investigation for assault.
This has produced a classic quote from Inspector Gus Krouwel of Avon and Somerset Police that: "Neighbourhood police regularly receive complaints about groups of around eight young people gathering by the war memorial, drinking and leaving litter. I do appreciate that people may get frustrated with this sort of situation but the appropriate response is to work with agencies like the police and local authority to find solutions."
Well, Inspector Krouwel, Middle Englanders feel that the 'appropriate response' is for you and your colleagues to get off your arses and enforce the law.

Unbelievable, except for the lamentable fact that it is quite believable.Needless to say, she is now under investigation for assault.

The irony is that this woman in fact did "find a solution". Too bad that went over the heads of the idiots at the police and local authority.
Am i the only one here who actually took recognition of the fact that she did assault this person. They did not come to her she went over challenged and assaulted this person. This person did not strike her nor did they violently retaliate and in fact called the police as they should do. Im sure guns would blaze if this "yobbo" gave her a clip round the ear.

Oh please.These yobbos are a pain in the arse. They deserve a good kicking.
When I was younger if I had gone to the police for being smaked round the ear by a woman, I would have been ridiculed by all my mates for being such a complete girly poof...
Then again I wouldnt have been hanging round dropping litter round a war memorial so I guess we will never know.

Was she "continually defacing and generally trashing a War Memorial "?I doubt it..
Your comments are indicative of the mentality that is ruining this country!

So, after continually defacing and generally trashing a War Memorial with no fear from the police you applaud them for 'doing the right thing' by bitching to the police after someone has the temerity to stand up to the cowardly little shits?Laird said:

Hush. Legal accuracy, accountability and transparency must be applied to the Police. We're on Pistonheads - we want this, but we also want the Police to be able to do the positive parts of 'the good old days' where they could overlook what they want and hit people without repercussions. Depends on the circumstances which one we want, of course. Wasn't there so can't comment precisely - I'd imagine everyone's at fault to a degree. The Woman for hitting someone (a clip around the ear - clever wording to play down an assault), the Police for not sorting the kids around the memorial and the kids drinking / being anti-social there.

The inspector concerned was in a damned if you do damned if you don't situation as soon as he opened his mouth, it sounds like he has been pressed for a comment and gave in.
In these situations he would have been better off keeping quiet and having a good look at the incident.
