Seen lovely footage of fans “celebrating” by smashing up a taxi ... jumping up and down on it, completely smashed the windscreen. All done with a large crowd watching them and singing.

Jumping up and down on bus shelters, again smashing them to pieces.

I’m so utterly disgraced with my hometown.

"Two England fans who sat on a car bonnet as it paraded them down a street following the Three Lions' win have been berated after a little girl was almost run over.

Footage has emerged of two supporters in Folkestone, Kent. The topless lads can be seen raising their beverages as the car cruises past elated crowds.

But the situation appears to take a turn for the worse when the car approaches two red lights.

It doesn't stop and narrowly misses two women, a young girl and a dog crossing the road."

I saw the phrase 'recreational rioting' expressed by a nationalist politician from NI (in the context of condemnation of street violence in NI recently) and it struck me that this is what happens. It's recreational violence. This can only happen in a society that deep down believes that 'boys will be boys' and produces far too few positive male role models.
