Capital Summertime Ball 2024

North Lincolnshire council plans to shine fluorescent pink lights in trouble hotspots in order to disperse congregations of youths. The lights, already used by skin specialists, highlight acne and blemishes on the skin. The council hopes that exposing their complexions to this ruthless glare will humiliate teenagers and convince them to go elsewhere.

A council spokesman admitted, "on the face of it this sounds barmy".

Interesting theory, but will it work?

Well it seems very stupid but I haven't heard a better idea so we will have to see.

what about people who hardly suffered from spots like me? and what about those that do but dont give a f**k about them, stupid idea.

The best thing to do with chavs is to give them the lethal injection.

I'm a bit sceptical about the idea, there was a supermarket in Glasgow that used to play pop music but it ended up attracting the neds, Since then they now only play classical music and the ned problem has gone around that area, perhaps all we need is sound megaphones with loud classical music?

We should arm old people with knives and guns and hooded tops. Problem solved!

Yeah, my mum says they do it in the main bus station in Croydon as well to disperse chavs. It does seem to work, and it's less discriminative than the 'young noise' or showing up their acne. What about the poor people who still suffer from acne after their teenage years and are incredibly self conscious about it?

There are a lot of people who would like to give me an ASBO, yet there are lots who think that the people who think i should get one should get one, if you follow.......
