CGiii Comment
This isn't exactly a walk in the park - when the lunatics take over the asylum - this is what happens.
The under-educated, the mentally unstable coupled with inadequate policing and over-adequate lawyering - this is the result.
Scotland needs to wise up - instead of screaming and spending vast amounts of money on independence - the politicians should look at how dirty their streets are.
One look at this should tell them where to start.
