#2 Louise Casey: We are a unit set up in January 2003, only 18 months ago, to lead the governmentâs overall fight to tackle anti-social behaviour.
I could be wrong, but I think the Respect Czar has too much time on her hands.

Civic life reduced to preschool.

#6 Maybe if they did a little more to keep bombs off the transports then people wouldn't feel the need to drink when they ride.

#7 How about, you know, something totally radical, like enforcing the law on disordely conduct whilst drunk???

It could never work. Far better to return to group punishment and puritanism for all.

#8 But no bar car on a commuter? What kind of a country is this? Next they'll want to prohibit bridge on the train because it offends moose limb passengers.
