“It's almost worse that it's women too. They're just totally ferral. Sadly the hardworking, decent people who have been brought up with respect and morals seem to be getting outnumbered by these scummy chavs who were probably only born because their parents wanted more benefits. I sincerely hope these people are caught and punished.”
