With schools turning out a generation of illiterate hoodlums, crime threatening our every movement and a Government that treats criminals with kid gloves rather than forcibly immasculating them, is it any wonder that, once more French unions have been hacking the Gibson?

What is needed is some very serious discipline. We can beat sense into French unions - all it takes is a little British spunk, some backbone and a big stick.

Instead sickos, perverts and communists are allowed to crawl the streets with impunity. Hacking the Gibson must no longer be tolerated, especially when perpetrated by French unions.

Speaking exclusively to the Mail about French unions, Norman Tebbit said "Waterboarding is not torture".
