From the Telegraph comes the shock news that society’s favourite bete noir might be less noir than the media would usually have us believe:
They are popularly characterised as hoodie-wearing yobs who collect Asbos as a badge of honour.
Yet a new survey reveals that Britain’s teenagers care deeply about both the environment and their local community and would rather spend a quiet night at home with their parents than loiter on corners swigging lager.
Not everyone is happy though:
Ann Widdecombe, the Tory MP, suggested that it would be misleading to describe the survey as a true indication of teenagers’ attitudes.
Thank the Lord for that… C’mon you Barbarians, we need you!
Hate to rain on anyone’s parade here, but ask the right people the right questions and you can prove just about anything you like.
