One of the problems is the youth of today (generally as I know this will not apply to all of them) have no respect for authority. The UK has gone soft and now we are seeing the results of this

The lack of respect started when they stopped you from slapping your own kids, or teachers from throwing the black board rubber at you if you were titting about.

Time was, if you came home crying, mum or dad would ask why, you'd say Mr Smith slapped me, why they'd ask, oh I kicked his bins over, then you got another slap, now, Mr Smith gets stabbed

Send 'em to Afganistan, see how they like it then.
