Roz, you post is very true. I have been threatened three times in the last 2 years. Once for pointing out to a scooter rider he was going the wrong way down Manor Mount and he then threatened to kill me. The police paid him a visit. A few weeks ago when my neighbours motorcycles were being stolen I went out to confront the thieves and they turned violent and then on Friday with this delightful young lady.

In all three instances I called the police and they responded well.

I cannot however stand around and do nothing. This is the problem with the UK, nobody wants to get involved and the scum know it.

Only when people stand up to thuggery will we control it and believe me it is out of control.

Sit in From the Forest in the morning for a coffee and look at the sheer number of drivers who drive through the red light outside WH Smiths. Why do they do it in order to save 30 seconds? Because they can and no-one will stop them. From that it spirals downwards.

I however am going to do something about it.

Watch this space.
