Locked up - for playing football with the kids!

Sounds like a really good thing to do, get your young son's friends together and arrange a game of football twice a week on the local recreation grounds. Nothing competitive just a nice game.

I would say it is just what we need, people within the local community getting together and helping the kids do something constructive instead of hanging around on street corners and getting into trouble.

I'm sure you'll forgive me for thinking that the local council should be encouraging this kind of activity but what do they do - they get the police in and lock him up for 5 hours while they investigate his 'crimes' of not complying with council rules that would have made their informal games impossible.

This is crazy! We need to vote these psychopaths out of office and get people in authority that are interested in supporting their communities.
