“Gang culture in Gloucester?
What a ridiculous 'article' this is - if you make a comment that TiG disapprove of, it gets deleted or all comments are blocked (if it happens to this article, remember to remove the question mark from title!) - news links just, 'vanish' too, no reason given, why?
You could ask your boss about "Gang culture in Gloucester?" I am sure he will know lots about it.”

“FreeRadical1 - "Do you think that gang culture is funny?" - No, in Gloucester, it's pathetic. I would say that the Gloucester 'gangs' are merely bullies who pick on people who can't or are unable to fight back. Put them up against a gang from the inner cities, I'm sure the Gloucester wannabe's will soon cower.”

“Don't mock. I've seen it myself, not to mention being a victim. The gang members that I have known have all be white and aged between 12 and 22 years, although they are black in some other areas. A neighbour was badly beaten up, another neighbour suffered an arson attack and burglary, and I had a lot of damage done to my property. As for them not being as hard as some other gangs - whose side are you on? Do you think that gang culture is funny?”

“Lol gang culture in Gloucester, pull the other 1, the gangs in Gloucester wouldn't be a patch on gangs in London and other big cities. As its youngsters as young as 10 being involved where's the parents in this ? Dont they keep track of they're kids ? They should know where they are.”

“Wow!! Maryam Qaiser - Step forward and take a bow for possibly THE most inept, waste of time of an article ever.
It is sensational in its lack of any kind of detail whatsoever!! Your editor must be on happy pills to even consider publishing it...........but here it is!!! The only thing missing from it (other than relevant facts, examples of crimes committed, quotes from people involved, comparisons with other cities and any effort of any kind) is a disinterested "Whatever!" to conclude your hot news story.
Fail.”

“I wonder how gangs in Gloucester would fare against some inner city gangs? My guess is that Gloucester gangs are mere play groups in comparison.”
