I can understand the yobs attacking the police because they are seen as the enemy, but for the life of me I cannot understand yobs stoning the fire brigade as they are life savers.

I have the answer to this problem and it is so simple.

When the yobs are caught - there are no ifs and buts - they should be sentenced to 12 months in the army and when the sergeant major has finished with them they should then be fast tracked to the frontline whether it be Iraq, Afghanistan or where ever.

These warriors (yobs) can then fight for real.

I am sure they will be better citizens.
