Not a lot to say about this one Blazey, without going into the whole social problem, which I am sure you will find lots to write about.

Just extremely sad, and can only send condolences to the family; to the people of Burnley and also to the Police .. whom I am sure are not happy that they did not respond in time to save this poor man, who was only looking out for his son.

I, unlike other people, have great confidence in the police as a whole and am confident there will be a big enquiry to find out what went wrong, to ensure every step will be taken to see that it does not happen again.

As for the gathering of these youths in gangs of 50's .. sorry, old-fashioned, and will always believe in the hands of the parents.
