1 The move backed by Scotland Yard chief Sir Ian Blair was branded crazy last night by rank and file cops and anti-crime campaigners.

Sir Ian Blair, no stranger to bending over ~~backwards~~ forwards for any turbaned snit.

Norman Brennan, of the Victims of Crime Trust, said: If you dont like being called a yob, stop acting like one. What other words are there for those who act anti-socially and frighten the elderly and vulnerable?

How about, asshole, maggot, shithead, cretin, barbarian, fuckface, loser, assclown, fuckwit, moron, assfuck, idiot, fucktard, assface, goatfucker, need I go on?

The term was challenged by Cindy Butts, deputy chairman of the Metropolitan Police Authority.

Her name says it all.

She whinged: I have a problem with the language of yobs. It sets up and defines too much a self and other.

As opposed to good and evil or shit and Shinola.

2 Now you see why the UK needs elected sherrifs?

Count yourselves lucky US citizens.

The U.K. has had a soft coup. The people who rule over the U.K. citizens in no way represent the views of the majority.

3 Absolutely BP - the pendulum can only travel so far in one direction..

And the people who shot Peter Woodhams aren't 'yobs', just plain ol' scum. Sheesh.

4 May I suggest such old fashioned words as thug and bully? Ever so useful, pre-existing language is, when one wants to communicate.

6 Thug seems more appropriate, from Thugee, who IIRC from the Indiana Jones movie, were terrorists from a different time.

But yeah, TW - we don't need to make up more words when so many are available and underutilized!

7 Howard UK

Looks like the two vermin who murdered that bloke were taxpayer parasites.

Quelle Suprise!

8 And when this comes to court the local Social Services will cry social deprivation/lack of opportunities/poor family background - the judge will be taken in and bingo they'll serve around 10 years where they should be breaking rocks for 20-30.

9 10 Years?

I reckon 8 years, and youth detention for the 17 yr old.

So where's the problem?

12 The term was challenged by Cindy Butts, deputy chairman of the Metropolitan Police Authority.

Growing up saddled with a moniker like Cindy Butts, she became over-sensitive to name-calling.

16 Podex, a 3rd declension c-stem Latin word close to a--hole.

"We found this podecem vandalizing the school."

18 What about "scrotes", "oiks", and "chavs"?

19 How about 'stiffs' or 'clean up on aisle 3'?

Shows remarkable success in detering second offenses.

22 I've always liked the term "hooligans" and especially the Russian version of "hooliganism" as "any deliberate behaviour which violates public order and expresses explicit disrespect towards the society". [Okay, Mullah/custer, call me a fascist. I'm waiting.]

23 yob? Never heard the term before. Until I looked it up, as used here, I thought it was what Sven and Ole did for a living.

24 What would the best way to make an anti-social youth more accepted? "Hug a thug" seems an unlikely way to discourage bad behavior. Has not calling terrorists by their name done any more than convince them that we are weak?
