Jim Davidson has today said "I grew up in the 1930s with an unemployed father. He did not riot. He got on his bike and looked for work, and he went on looking until he found it.".

Speaking at Alton Towers Jim Davidson’s comments come in a week that has seen yobs wearing hoodies and baseball caps involved in sacrificing goats to a gilded image of Ken Livingstone on an ever more frequent basis.

Jim Davidson’s comments are both brave and perceptive. In a country where children as young as five are regularly exposed to yobs wearing hoodies and baseball caps it is about time that someone had the guts to stand up and tell the truth. Yobs wearing hoodies and baseball caps and the liberal communist atheist society that spawns them must be eliminated.
