This was today as well.Fucks sake. Seems to be one a day at the minute (or two in this case obv) WTF is going on?
Because Coventry now, like many big cities in this country is a fucking cesspit with a vast amount of scum in it.
Lived here my whole life but my lord is it on the wane
You're right on that one. Sadly there is a sizeable sub culture across the whole of the UK who are almost 'beneath the law'. They are dangerous as they don't give a shit about anyone or anything.
This was today as well.
Arrest after police called to latest gun incident in Far Gosford Street
Armed officers responded to a call from a worried member of the publicwww.coventrytelegraph.net
In one of my lessons at a comp in Cov a few years ago one of the kids got out his BB gun and started rolling round the ammo on his desk. Just got internal suspension
Oh God the stories of shit kids have done with no comeback. Shoving a table into a pregnant woman’s stomach, sexual assault, threatening teachers with a fire extinguisher, drugs, knives, throwing concrete onto the motorway, arson.
Schools need to stop fancying about IMO and bring Police in early. The Police should have a youth crimes division with social workers and the like as well that can pick these kids up early and start intervening instead of schools brushing things under the carpet because they don’t look good.
My belief at the time was that a week’s simulation of being in prison and getting treated like a bitch would sort some of them out. It’s fine squaring up to a teacher who will get sacked if they retaliate but do it on the street and you’ll end up dead.
When I taught in Dudley we had some kid who thought he was a gangster, always squaring up to teachers, going on about his weed deals, etc.
One day he tried the same on his local estate with an actual gangster. It didn’t end well. Much commiseration in the staff room when we heard that

I once painted the elephant enclosure at Dudley Zoo.It was an experience.

Completely irrelevant to this thread but it's just what i think of whenever anyone mentions Dudley.

The zoo has gone downhill since I was there then.......I think of watching men with mullets and no tops chasing a cow and two horses down the road
Never watched Kes, I take it?Nonces?

Gives him a slap round the ear a second later dont he? Great great film
I agree. They're far too worried about the reputation and potential funding hit they'll get from saying this goes on. Long term that school would improve immeasurable if the kids knew they weren't going to get away with it. Not about instilling fear, it's about instilling respect. Sometimes that needs to be done with a show of authority.
Absolutely fantastic film I could watch time and again. Brian Glover's part is my worst nightmare as a PE teacher though. Even bigger bastard than Jack Pilbin was to us!An all time classic.

I once failed an interview in Dudley. It was in an old boarded up church, a burned out car was in the corner of the car park.
Can't say I was gutted.
Used to go over to Dudley Wood occasionally in the seventies (Cradley Heath vs Cov Bees).What was the job? Contract killer??
Whenever I went to Cradley Heath at that time, I parked my car about a mile away at my mate's house (I had a Bees banner at the top of the windscreen).Used to go over to Dudley Wood occasionally in the seventies (Cradley Heath vs Cov Bees).
The whole area was redolent of some improbable dystopian Hollywood movie.
Unlike the burned out car, eh?I once failed an interview in Dudley. It was in an old boarded up church, a burned out car was in the corner of the car park.
