Why, Oh Why, Oh Why do we allow glue-sniffing teenagers such freedom? Not only are they probably communists, but glue-sniffing teenagers have this week been revealed as burning policemen at the stake.

If only the Government and the guacomole-munchers of Islington were a little less concerned with helping Johnny-foreigner and a little more concerned with the rights of the hard working majority of our glorious Nation, then perhaps glue-sniffing teenagers would not get away with such treachery.

That certainly seems to be the opinion of Amanda Platell who this week said, "I blame all of this on stealth taxes and permissive education in the 1960s.".

So, next time you are at a dinner party and the menu involves sun dried tomatoes, just consider whether you think that burning policemen at the stake is acceptable behaviour.
