Parents are to blame for anti-social behaviour in Birkenhead, according to the town's MP.

Quote
Labour MP Frank Field went on patrol with police on Friday after claiming the town was becoming "like Beirut" due to a failure to tackle "yob culture".

Mr Field attended one incident in Shaw Street where a "gang was causing mayhem in the streets".

New anti-social behaviour legislation is needed "that warmly shakes them by the throat," he said.

"The parents don't care. They have no idea what they are actually doing to their kids. And that is going to take longer to deal with; we want to tackle it at root cause."

Mr Field patrolled the town centre with the police and the leader of Wirral Council between 19:00 and 21:00 GMT.

The article pretty much states the obvious, of course they're to blame.

Over the years, Frank Field has spoken up for many in his constituency, but it seems to have taken him a very long time to come to this conclusion. Also very pleased that the Leader of the Council found the time to accompany him and see the problem. Nothing better than a first hand account .

A co-incidence that action is taken considering there's an election coming up..... smile

What a lovely picture our MP paints of Birkenhead. We're all starving and living on our uppers and now on top of that we are living in down town Beirut. Never mind publicity shots before an election, he should be there making them do something about it. Noticed that wherever these "Police Commisioners" are now ensconsed that they are reducing their police forces whilst still engaging in funding vanity projects. We're going to get a nice new HQ in a situation where nobody can get to it because there is only one bus from Birkenhead which goes past the place, brilliant strategy. oldman
