Well you are obviously miss-informed, and looking at your location, Sheffield, where the urinating on the monument happened first, haven`t been out much. There were Facebook pages removed because of the severity of punishment being called for. The ones left which called for a custodial sentance had thousands of members. Many who were from the "youth of today".
I was in Sheffield a few weeks ago (up until a couple of months ago I lived there ,my user-name refers to the Wicker Camp Gym in Sheffield) and the the outrage felt by all ages was mentioned all over the city,stocks and flogging being very middle of the road.

Yes but not more so than all the other nations. Racism was not just about colour in those days. And Guy Gobson was still a hero with a VC

There's a dead horse somewhere, and it's screaming, "Stop flogging me!"

True story

I hope not. I dont like to think of dead animals.It makes me feel sad.

...when I look at the turkey crown currently residing in our freezer I see a turkey sitting up in its hospital bed after a double mastectomy...
