I can’t imagine the shock that his parents are going through

Ha! Disposable just means cheap enough to leave behind

All that trashing: maybe inspired by the Bullingdon mentality?

[naomi24]

Or maybe not.

[Atheist]

Same instincts to have fun with mindless destruction with no consideration for others. They'll grow out of it (most of them).

[naomi24]

And those instincts aren’t present in other young people? Are you sure?

[Atheist]

Naomi; those instincts are present in a certain number of young people; as they age they usually become lesss destructive. I don't get your comment about other young people.

[naomi24]

I get yours about the ‘Bullingdon’ mentality. It emanates from inverted snobbery.

[Bobbisox1]

He’s home safe and that’s all that counts

[mallyh]

yes ,as soon as i saw the news i text him to see if he and friends were ok x

[Bobbisox1]

My daughter did the same and then rang me Mally

[gulliver1]

Can,t understand why E/d allowed this thread to be posted under the news section. It's not news.

[gness]

I read about it in a news article, Gulliver and then in the link from Sky News that Bobbi posted.

Why was it not news?

[Zacs-Master]

Gulli, I think the Eds have more pressing matters to attend.

[sunny-dave]

This certainly is news - a personal opinion on an item of national news - with a link to the original story.

Perhaps there is a lesson for certain other posters that it is easier to justify a thread being in News if one includes a link to a current story, rather than just posting a repetition of a generic rant designed to start an argument?

[pastafreak]

Of course it's news, along with the other numerous stories of violence at various festivals over the weekend.

[MissTerious]

Gully just being his normal self!

[douglas9401]

Early intervention with corporal punishment might see some of this stuff headed off at the pass.

[Zacs-Master]

Either that or putting them to work in Mills or up chimneys, Doooogie!

[albaqwerty]

Forget the mills and chimneys, put them to work in sewage treatment plants :)

[Zacs-Master]

The *** would really hit the fan then, Alba.
