Bad parenting or non parenting, parents that would rather sit and get drunk than raise their kids. Sorry but there is something seriously wrong when a 12,13,14 year old child attacks a parent. Weak parenting is all.

Get a grip and sort your kids out, stop drinking, stop watching TV and actually discipline your kids. Really boils my urine.

I think British teenagers are the worst in Europe (white, black, Asian whatever), considering the opportunities they have compared to say kids in Albania or Romania.

And all these folk talking about racism....Most crimes in London involving guns/drugs/rape are committed by minorities/immigrants. Sorry, but its a fact...or it was in 2012.
