    “'Police say the suspects are described as about 16 years old and were wearing light-coloured hoodies and baseball caps, with the hoods pulled over their heads. One was wearing dark tracksuit bottoms'

    Well I never. I do not know why the HDM don't just state 'the despicable cowards that did this were wearing the nasty polyester uniform of all stinky criminal chavs nation-wide'. We all know exactly what they would mean. I think all leisurewear retailers should stitch electronic tags into their apparel and cut out the middleman. My thoughts to this poor lady. Hopefully the police will catch the human filth that did this.”

    “It was near here a couple of years ago when a lowlife tried to steal my mum in laws purse but she was having none of it and lashed out with her carrier bag with tins in it and caught him sqaure in the face,later my wife told her to ring the police but she said no as she thought she would be sent to prison.”

    “I expect they will have been caught on CCTV, however they have nothing more to fear than at most a suspended sentence and made to promise that they will never, ever do anything naughty ever again”
