Wow well done! Your parents must be so proud!! Unless of course they are mindless cretins too. Perhaps somebody could return the favor and smash your house windows preferably with your heads. Might knock a bit of sense in although I doubt it.
I would address this comment to the persons responsible personally but odds are they are completely illiterate anyway !!!

It's no good people moaning about Tory cuts when the spawns of scrotes are going round like this costing everyone money. Who pays for this? YOU do.

I thought schools were monitored from Greenbank anyway? Maybe it is the same monitoring that they did for Darwen train station - naff all but happy to charge for it!

There's always kids playing on school playgrounds and most of them are teenagers hammering a football around like they don't give a monkeys! Either that or they are smoking dope in the more secluded areas of the yards. No body ever moves them on... The kids next day are faced with all kinds of c r a p.

There some nice kids that play football around my area but you all ways get some low life that has to ruin it for the rest and put them all in the same stereotypical box. Its a shame really.
Not all the kids who play football up there are putting windows through all they are interested in is playing football there is no where else for thhem to play unless they stroll up to the playing fields but its not even safe up there these days.

Hmm seems a bit unfair just targeting the kids in my opinion. The parents don't give a flying toss just as much as the scrotes that are doing it. They're probably jobless parents with no intention of bringing their child up with respect or manners but rather fling the responsibility on someone else other than themselves. Should be the parents paying for this not the tax payer which I'm pretty **** sure it will come at some cost.
