Respect your knifeless, imitation gunless teenage troublemaker.

The "Violent Crime Disorder Bill" has been announced today, it's goal is to improve 'respect'. Imitation gun and knife sales will be banned to under 18s, good to see the Government closing down a loophole where 16 year olds can ask older friends to buy them. Welcoming the ban on imitation guns, Chief Superintendent Paul Robinson, head of Scotland Yard's special firearms operational command unit, said: "It is often almost impossible to tell the difference between a real gun and a replica" or a table leg apparently.

Schools will be given new powers to search pupils for weapons. Why doesn't school discipline prevent pupils carrying weapons in the first place? Did it breach their rights?

I'm afraid the new 'Alcohol Disorder Zones' suggests disorder will be tolerated here just like sex is tolerated in 'Red Light Zones'!!
