Some idiots had a BBQ in Ravenscourt Park and were being warned against it by firemen when an XL bully owned by one of them attacked a fireman who was taken to hospital. Nuff said [Post edited 14 Aug 15:53]

| Scum on 16:44 - Aug 14 with 3790 views | DWQPR | Unfortunately nowadays there is a small minority or people who think that they have the right to do what they want whether within or outside of the law. They are the lowest of the low and will scream first if something happened to them. Unfortunately this breed of dog has a reputation that will mean eventually they will be completely outlawed. And it seems that the only type of person who owns them, reflects in the dogs reputation and behaviour. Not the dogs fault it is the owner. Put the fûcking owners down with the dogs. Best solution all round. |  |

Get them to do a video stating that owning an XL bully is stupid, and they regret it all, which gets them only 1 day of their sentence and only one day. |  |

It doesn't feel like a small minority any more. You only have to look at the amount of people who push through the gates at tube stations. I see it at my local station without fail EVERY time I use the tube. Within a 30-60 second period me walking in, tapping through, I can guarantee some one has pushed though. So that number must be in the 100s just for that one station. Add to that the sheer number of people who vape whilst on the train itself. To attack a member of the emergency services is disgraceful. The courts rarely dish out any kind of meaningful sentence to offenders either. |  | |  |

They should be banned full stop. The grill is far too close to the utterly awful quality charcoal which increases the chances of searing the outside and not cooking the inside of your meat. It’s about time we started banning more things because it pisses off stupid people. |  |

And a 2nd one just for good measure! Fireworks should definitely be banned. Glitter too while we’re at it, damaging to the environment and serves no real purpose. |  |

Things have definitely gone to pot in the last decade. We were just saying how things have got a bit crapper in almost every way. Drains are blocked for years, grass verges are a massive mess, roads falling to bits, rubbish and rats everywhere. And in general people are far more aggressive and selfish. Apart from that it's all great |  | |  |

That’ll be from about 2016, then. Trying to think if anything happened that year which may have contributed to the general decline. Oh, yeah … |  | |  |

You'll find it was the finacial collapse of 2008 that started the rot. Certainly in the decline of public services. Council's across the country have had their budgets slashed year in year, add in the adult social care crisis due to an aging population. The country and West as a whole mortgaged up the next two generations bailing out the banks. |  | |  |

To save time we might as well just say that the Big Bang started the rot. |  | |  |

I think it all went pear-shaped when Gilbert & Sullivan parted company. Many's the time I'd hail a hansom cab with my swagger stick and pop up to the Empire to see their latest operetta. |  | |  |

That's true, and people also don't seem to realise that discarded broken glass and glass bottles can also ignite a fire when the sun rays shine through. Some of these fires are even started deliberately. As for those mentioned in the OP, they should be sentenced to a year's community service by clearing up litter in parks and green spaces as well as paying the fireman compensation. |  | |  |

Ah, a call for restorative justice. Far more of that is needed in the system. |  | |  |
