Goths

[Libertarian]

Coming out of work on overtime this afternoon I passed down Castle Street and Lord Street. I noticed a huge amount of Goth teenagers congregating in Derby Square. Not only does it look really bad they are causing a lot of trouble. Lord Street was full of them screaming and running round and the square itself looks really tatty. They are lounging around the Queen Victoria monument in a really disrespectfull way

They are acting in an antisociaal behavior and I can't understaand why the police don't disperse them.

Anyone coming here for the first time and seeing that would get a really bad impression.

Hey, take away their eyeliner and matrix coats and they become hoodies...

They usually congregate at the Pier Head, but just like the seagulls the bad weather brings them further inland. Agree, they should be dispersed by the police.

If you had seen the noise they were making and the fact that Lord Street was full of them shouting, swearing and acting antisocially you would know it's for real.

Don't get me wrong I am not against Goths but surely somewhere should be provided for them to vent their teenie angst in.

Sorry S, now I realise you're serious.
They used to be by the old Quiggins and the Bluecoat, and always seemed rather innocuous.

Well that's it there is nowhere for them to go. But Derby Square is not the right place.

There's a hell of a lot of graffiti around the Victoria monument now if you got an take a closer lookm its quite sad.

Indeed and the irony is that that is outside the Crown Court. If they can't keep a semblance of order there where can they keep order?

They come from Formby and the affluent suburbs to indulge in a little safe Anti Social behavior away from the estates and other scall hang outs. Give 'em two years and they'll all be off to Uni only to be replaced by another load. I'm sure there's a bus that bring 'em all in.

Saturday afternoon is ridiculous by the Pier head

Hug a Goth I say.

I didn't realise they were casing such a problem.In my experience you can walk through/past them and they won't give you a second look.I don't think you could say the same about a similarly large assembly of dirty trackied scratters.

Same here.Never heard a ****ie bird out of them that doesnt go on with most Normal Kids growin up..
They'd S*** their keks and run a Mile if you pulled them up..
Unlike the Scum that terrorise Kids outside McDonalds on a Saturday Afternoon robbin' money off Decent Kids,
They'd stick a Knife in yer as soon as look at yer.
3 of them pulled my Youngest Son up when he was about 16,He gave the Big fella such a dig in the gob that he was out cold and the other 2 were gone like the Roadrunner...meep meep!!..Typical Cowards..

It's true! I remember being up at the courts once on my bike, chatting to a couple of BMXer mates, and suddenly word spread through the 100+ goths that 'scallies were coming'. All the goths cleared out like Wilderbeast as nine or ten scalls appeared from Chavasse Park.

Interesting what you said about your son. Often the scallies are really in your face until they realise they don't have the upper hand. On the train once this mob of them were being rude to everyone, and some old woman stood up and started shouting and they all got embarassed and sloped off. Funnier than that was when my mate caught one who'd been throwing stuff at him, and my mate kicked the absolute crap out him. He was mid-teens but screamed like a girl!
