Gang Asbos

Young people could also be banned from wearing items of clothing such as balaclavas or gang colours,

Now the government is to determine what clothes you can wear?

Gang colours? What, like a blue rosette?

You’d be surprised how much damage can be done with the pin on a rosette.

So as soon as, say, leather jackets with a blue snake are banned, the gang changes its insignia to something else not covered by the ASBO. Continue ad infinitum.

Utterly, utterly pointless…

Julia, you forget the real target of these announcements – The authoritarian Daily Mail/Teleraph readers.

It seems to have worked.

Will they ban brown shoes with black trousers?

LMAO @ blue rosette.

Very good.

Will my old university scarf count too?

Everyone will be required to wear the prescribed clothing, like a Mao suit.
