    Jon, Bristol wrote . . . "a teenage girl punched me as she walked past. No reason for it whatsoever" . . . . . Jon, there is a reason for it . . . . . It was just her way of showing you that she fancied you . . . . Didn't you understand that? :D”

    “This is another example of gang culture going to far, just a bunch of drunken idiots with nothing better to do then pick on a man on his own. The man who was attacked served 5 years in Afhanistan fighting for his country and this is how little muppets repay some bravery. Thank god he is now out of hospital and ok.”

    “Sadly Geoff is correct. Bristol Police need to recruit some men with testicles.”

    “I went out in Bristol on a Saturday night for the first time in months recently. Walking through Millennium Square, a teenage girl punched me as she walked past. No reason for it whatsoever. It's just not a safe place to be.”

    “Abuse of Alcohol no doubt will be at the route of this attack ?
    , and when they catch this low live he will receive a gentle tap on the wrist and a short community service as punishment . The streets of central Bristol at nights are becoming increasingly unsafe for law abidding folk . The Police and Government are a complete sham in doing very little to protect the innocent people of this city and indeed across this land.”

    “I'm very sorry for the lad involved but, sadly, the planners clearly designed this area to be a place for louts to have thier fights, i.e. a large open square surrounded by chavvy pubs and a large nightclub.

    In Britain's lager lout society, and with a government that encourages more and more drinking, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out that this is an area to avoid unless you are prepared for trouble.”
