Baffman, in post #18 I have noted the comments made by parabellum and Archimedes in which my inaccurate description of "beaten to a pulp" is acknowledged, as I do so again here.
Irrespective of the incident I am simply emphasising the importance of our forces maintaining the generally accepted good conduct that we have been known for in the past century or so.
On a wider scale (and my original post tried to pick up on this) what I am saying is that much of what has traditionally held us together as a society within the British Isles is slipping away. Progress requires change that's for sure, but not all change is progress.
Some will get it - others won't.
