Youth crime out of control?
So says Lord Stevens, arguing that it is a ""raging social cancer tearing away at Britain", and naturally he implores tougher sentences.In unrelated news a group of youths are on trial for causing "harrasment, alarm or distress"; one has asked for to be excused attending court so he can represent England at Polo. Which the judge granted.
In soccer I thought it was usual in this situation, whilst not forgetting that defendants are innocent 'til proven guilty, to save the national team embarassment and the risk of bringing the game into disrepute by not playing the offending player until the trial is over. Polo appears to have different rules.
