About time.

If you scroll down the article you see a quote from a young offender as follows,

"Why should we be pointed out like saying
we are all criminals and stuff"

Far better idea than the worthless flip flops

i wonder how long it will be before one of the 'Community Payback' vest wearers plays the 'Human Rights' card.

"There were already instances where offenders doing community service had been targeted by rival gangs for attack, he said, and in two cases offenders had been shot. "

and the problem with that is that they're in gangs and using guns in the first place, not that they're wearing orange vests. Muppets.

Note to Moderators

Is it just me or could this topic almost be merged in with 'You couldn't make it up !'

Maybe a separate forum called "Victor Meldrew corner"

I DON'T BELIEVE IT !!!

But probation officers warn the vests could "increase the risk" of offenders becoming targets for attacks.

tough luck!!

what about the innocent victims they attacked ?

Protection as always is for the criminal /offender NO ONE cares for the victims (no money in it for lawyers).
