Boy Wins Fight Against Curfew

Apparently a 15 year old boy has won a court case against Tony Blairs new plans to put a 9pm curfew on unnaccommpanied under 16's in certin areas. He said it would infringe on his civil liberty (or whatever its called).

IMO in certain areas this would be a good idea, where the streets are full of little sh*ts vandalising stuff, getting drunk and generally harassing people. Perhaps a 10pm curfew would be a better idea, as I know for a fact I wouldn't let my fifteen year old daughter be on the streets or walking home etc after that time anyway.

I think sometimes it is the parents of these kids at fault (though not 100% of the time).

What does anyone else think about this?

you stand on one side of the pavement and your friends stand opposite on the other side - you throw the ball and try to hit the corner of the kerb - then it bounces back to your side - you have another go - if you miss - you friend catches it and its their go!

assumed name - I must have misunderstood I thought he was subject to a curfew because he had an asbo against him. If that is not the case, does that mean that all under 16's are subject to a curfew? I have never heard of that, I used to work part time in Wooly's when I was that age and did not finish work until that time. I'm confused.

yes it does mean that you shouldnt be wondering around in a certain area within a certain time
