Why are this lot such menaces to the rest of society? I blame the parents

Article Abstract:

UK Home Secretary Jack Straw is seeking to ensure that parents take more responsibility for their children's actions. It is certainly true that anti-social behaviour must be tackled early in life. Furthermore, the UK has seen the emergence of an urban underclass in which parents have little regard for the behaviour of their children. However, there are many people who have tried to be responsible parents but have simply abandoned the challenge. Indeed, they have reached the stage where they are psychologically and physically intimidated by their own children.

Article Abstract:

In contrast, there has been a revival in confidence in the UK's abilities in areas such as technology, sport and architecture. The government should consider using the millennium as a way of presenting a new image of the UK to the world.
