What’s it like being middle-aged or elderly in Britain today and going about your business peacefully, just setrying to live in the hard times brought about by poor government and greedy bankers? 

Well, ask this man.

David Wells, 61, was attacked as he walked home along Trinity Road in Bradford on Tuesday night. He suffered deep cuts to his forehead and lip, black eyes and swelling to his hand.  Two men aged 21 and 23 have apparently been arrested and ‘questioned’ about the incident.

A police spokesman said “This was a particularly vicious attack which has left the victim with a number of injuries.

“The suspects stole just £5. I would appeal to anyone who witnessed the assault to contact us so we can establish exactly what happened.”

As always, The British Citizen calls for the same two things that every decent person wants in this country:

1.    Put more policemen ‘on the beat’ in town centres and communities.
2.    PUNISH the offenders so hard that they won’t ever do it again.

… but is anyone in government LISTENING?

Despite any number of similar incidents happening on our streets every day, we doubt it.
It’s time for change – not to the Tories for heaven’s sake,  but a new way of governing our country.
