In a shocking indictment of our permissive society it has this week emerged that hoodies have been ripping off hard working families.

Things have gone too far. Its bad enough that we tolerate the spicy food and loud music of hoodies without allowing them to terrorise decent, middle class families as well.

The Mail will be starting a campaign against hoodies and we promise our readers now that we shall not rest until each one of them is hunted down like a dog. Michael Howerd speaking in support of our campaign said "As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding. Like the Roman, I seem to see the River Tiber foaming with much blood.".
