Blair to punish loutish behaviour
The Prime Minister, Tony Blair, today promised fresh International legislation to tackle antisocial behaviour by nation states, similar lines to that announced within the UK.
"It's not acceptable for these powers to be applied only to non-politicians. Loutish behaviour is loutish behaviour wherever it is. And it should be dealt with in the same way wherever it happens," he told an anti-social behaviour symposium in London.
"So if, even after this legislation, more powers are needed, we will go further and get you them."
"I have made many visits over the last year to many countries, and on each occasion antisocial behaviour has been the issue raised by people.
"I listen to their stories. The same things come up time and again. A tiny number of countries making everyone else’s lives a misery: bombing, killing, invading, stealing...."
"Only by rebuilding cohesive communities and reforming the system to bear down harder on antisocial behaviour can we achieve our vision of a strong and fair society.
When a questioner from the floor pointed out that Mr Blair's own actions over Iraq were distinctly "Loutish" he replied that he did not expect to be exonerated.
"I am for complete universality of these principles, and if necessary I too shall be punished.
