If that's the case, daily mail readers overreacting and having power, how come it hasn't happened in other countries, why aren't there daily mail type people in those countries.
There's got to be some truth to a 'youth problem' otherwise asbo's wouldn't have been created.
- philwelch 17y agoMaybe the problem is that Britain has more "Daily Mail readers" than other countries, and THAT is the great British problem (not antisocial youths). Actually, American "Daily Mail readers" worry more about terrorists and pedophiles (and 10-20 years ago, drugs). We've had this problem forever. This is the country that declared war on Spain and conquered their overseas empire based upon agitation from the newspapers. I can't speak for other countries, but Britain's not alone in using tabloid-generated memes and moral panics to chip away at civil liberties.
