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 plotting to kidnap a senior royal?

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. Plotting to kidnap a senior royal must no longer be tolerated, especially when perpetrated by French unions.

Speaking exclusively to the Mail about French unions, Bernard Manning said "If only we had a privitised National Identity scheme this would never have happened".
