UK - National 'respect squad' unveiled

[DoYouEverWonder]

26 June 2006

A national 'respect squad' is being launched by John Reid to help in the battle against anti-social behaviour.

Local councils, MPs and police chiefs will be able to call in the squad to help tackle cases of "yobbishness".

The squad, which will work across Wales and England, consists of 10 frontline local authority and police staff.

The home secretary said: "The government's new respect squad will ensure there is no let up in tackling anti-social behaviour."

So I guess if someone robs or kills you in the UK, at least they'll be polite about it.

Only the British would think of "...tackling anti-social behavior."
