Well, it does seem that the only success story of our New Labour government is its diligent efforts to paint the country's youths as veritable monsters, particularly using the hoodie to represent the Taint of Yob. Personally, I have found that if you treat them with respect as though they were adults, you'll find that they are decent, agreeable people who will accommodate your requests. But if you approach them as a bunch of criminals, they will, as though offended, take that cue and give you hell.
