Because He's A Liar As Well As A Thief...

Xristina had gone to buy a drink from Chaiiwala on Monday, 24 June. She said it was "just a normal, casual working day, everybody was having a lunch break". Then, out of the blue, two mopeds pulled up carrying three passengers. One of them grabbed her motorbike. "I felt like I was being attacked and I had to protect myself, and what's mine," she said. "I've been trained in martial arts and at that moment, my whole instinct kicked in." CCTV footage shows her sprinting out of the cafe and pulling the thief from the moving bike, while the other two mopeds swerved around her and drove away.

Lovely to see these feral thugs not getting away with it, for once!  

"One of the other riders kicked me. After, I was thinking, 'What if they had had a knife?' But even if they had, I would know how to react." She then put the thief into a headlock and wrestled him to the ground, with help from a member of the public.

But no help from those paid to apprehend thieves, the police.  

Xristina said they subjected her to "emotional warfare", crying and claiming to be forced into the robbery. "He said he was only 12 years old, although they looked like older teenagers to me.

"I was fighting him for about 10 minutes. Eventually I let him go. I felt like I was doing something wrong - he made me feel bad for something that he did."

Well, then, you're a fool. He's a '12 year old' in the same way all those 'refugees' are 12 years old, even the husky ones with full beards.  

Although a "supportive" police officer arrived shortly afterwards, Xristina felt frustrated. "If only the police could have turned around and helped me when I needed them most," she said. "Something needs to be changed with the law and the police force. It's like an epidemic. Everybody is being targeted by these moped thieves. "I feel like the system is failing."

Well, 'failing' implies they are at least doing something, so no. It's not even trying, is it?  

"Can't Attend Your Burglary Madam, Little Johnnie's Not Turned Up For Maths Again..."

Some schools in England are sending police to the homes of children who are persistently absent, or warning them their parents may go to prison if their attendance doesn’t improve, the Observer has learned.

Like the police have time for this.... 

But child psychologists and parent groups are warning that the push for full attendance is driving “heavy-handed” crackdowns at some schools, and ignores the issues that often lie behind school refusal, including mental health problems, unmet special educational needs, bereavement or the child being a carer.

Some might say it's not heavy-handed enough. 

Ellie Costello, co-founder of Square Peg, a lobbying and support group for children who don’t fit into the conventional schools model, said: “Parents have told us about very strict schools actually forcing entry to their homes. Schools are turning up with community police. They are shouting up the stairs to highly anxious children, demanding they come into school now.”

And the youth are likely to treat 'community police' with the same disdain they treat real actual police on the street. he same disdain they treat real actual police on the street.  

Oliver Conway, a child protection solicitor at London law firm Oliver Fisher, which is co-hosting a conference with Square Peg this week on the impact of prosecuting parents on attendance, said many poorer parents were unable to pay fines. He asked: “Why aren’t they giving these families proper mental health support and support from social services instead of trying to punish them?”

Shouldn't criticise, if they did that, how would people like you earn a living? 

One “deeply vulnerable” woman came to him in great distress because the local authority was taking her to court for not sending her 14-year-old daughter into school. “Her daughter wasn’t going in because she was pregnant. She was involved in county lines [drug trafficking] and she was being sexually abused by a drug dealer,” he said.

This isn't an issue for a school to solve, it's an issue for the police!
