should have been arrested is proof enough how degraded our values have become.
The idea that anyone could, or should, be arrested for such a thing should horrify us.
And yet, none of us are instinctively sure anymore. Even I had to run it through my head a couple of times before coming to the ONLY possible conclusion.
Sad scenes.
I smell a doo doo
Should be patented.
I have some sympathy, of course. Here we have a man guilty of some of the worst public behaviour imaginable that doesn't involve verbal abuse or physical violence. So instinctively, of course, we want such bad behaviour to be punished harshly and a clip round the ear and sending him on his way certainly feels disproportionately lenient.
But we have forgotten what is at stake here. And for that, I blame the feminists, gays and Allans.
I might get a t-shirt designed.

But these values came from a world where no-one would ever have dreamt of going out in public with a deliberately offensive message plastered all over their shirt. Surely it is in that societal change that the values have become degraded? The point at which society ceased to police its own behaviour and starting regarding the right to free speech as representing carte blanche to behave egregiously and to deliberately upset people is where things started to go tits up.
