They are a generation created almost exclusively by politicians of the past 25 years No wonder they annoy the Prime Minister, he sired them. But he recognises his responsibility, at least, and promised action."If people want me to deal with it, I'll deal with it!" he cried. "It makes people's lives hell, it's not right and we're going to put a stop to it!"This wasn't the Prime Minister's only golf-club moment. He drew our attention back to the little swine who go down to the shop swearing at old people and throwing bricks through windows.

Antisocial behaviour is the last redoubt of the Tories' landscape which he is now to colonise. It wasn't unconvincing, in a saloon-bar sort of way, until Andy Bell asked him whether he thought we were at a watershed in our legal history. Hitherto the primary responsibility had been that the innocent didn't get punished, but now the emphasis was on not letting the guilty escape "I think I do accept that," the PM said thoughtfully. I have a horrible feeling Hazel Blears is heading for the Cabinet, you know.He went on to Asbos and Basbos (for toddlers) but not Asbryos (for those violent fetal creatures conceived by binge-drinkers). You can't get anything done in nine months, no wonder he's fraught There's so much, so very much to do He said he had a choice. Either to soft-pedal the changes or seize the moment and cement the renewal. Personally, I always advise against cementing renewal (it gets spoiled).He put in a robust defence of his 90-day detention proposals. The grave threat to us all that climate change poses requires a new and more urgent political response.

Normal politics is simply not delivering the sort of action we need as a nation to take.. You know how sensitive I am? Of course you do. I thought the Prime Minister was looking a bit strained after his holiday He looked a bit preoccupied I hope he's not thinking of invading Iran. A year to go, he's got just a year left; with the summer holiday that's only nine months away. It will hear that, worryingly, the latest scientific evidence confirms not only that it is occurring, but now kicking in at a rate even worse than scientists had previously thought This time it will be different The ritual hand-wringing will simply not do any more.
