What are on about....???

You may be slightly confusing the issues, here....

Am I, they are thrashing someone on the ground for no reason. I've seen that many times in my own country. It is increasing in frequency violence for doing nothing. Looking at someone, walking past in the street. Rudeness, dirty language lack of respect for elders, race, or creed. There is an awful lot of selfishness. Plus there is still sectarianism. But that's a whole new can of worms.
Excuse me, I sound like an old man

Perhaps you recall the disabled couple who were beaten up when they left their homes and committed suicide

Just an observation on social things in our own backyard.

Just an observation on social things in our own backyard.

Exactly.

You are comparing a phenomenon that has been festering in our streets for the past 10/15 years, due to binge drinking and abject refusal to abide by the laws, to cultural, ingrained behaviour, handed down by past generations, superstitious mumbo jumbo.

i've never seen a woman stripped naked and beaten in the street being called a witch, maybe it happened 500+yrs ago on the street of Manchester
most mancs have become more civilised since then i hope
