Wipe The Smile Off Their Faces

Iain Dale finds humour in most things.  Even in obscene, sexual bullying of teachers by unruly pupils. see www.iandale.blogspot.com

Come on, Iain.  Your liking for amusing repartie is drawing you away from the crux of the issue here.  The whole situation's gone beyond anything acceptable in a civilized society. 

Schools must bring back corporal punishment, and so too must the courts be able to award punishments whih instil fear and respect. 

Without fear there is no respect.

Politicall, it would have to be as part of a localisation programme.  There should not be a national decision to cane children and yobs.  Cameron's new British Bill of Rights should though permit locally elected officials to bring in programmes of corporal punishment, but the final decisions must be taken locally.

Keep your sense of humour please.  But don't duck the core issue.  Human nature has an evil aspect which will grow if left unchecked.  The social experiments of the 1960's have gone full circle, and failed.  Let's bring back civilized standards of behaviour.  And yes that means corporal punishment.
