Should have left them too it !! If their that STUPID in the first instance to arrange idiotic events like this (and it must have been pre-arranged) they deserve all they get ! A GOOD KICKIN FROM SOMEONE might have given them second thoughts next time.
REMEMBER kids there is always someone a lot harder than you around the corner.
Now on a serious note what is wrong with these stupid teenagers these days ? i suppose we have one thing to be thankful for ~ one day these yobs might be responsible citizens ~ I might move to Southmead as it looks like Southmeads moved into Bradley Stoke !!
COME ON BRADLEY STOKE COUNCIL WHAT YOU GONNA DO ?? I dont pay £1400 pounds a month in council tax to live in a council estate ~ if i wanted to live in a council estate i would packin my hardworkin decent job i have and move to one.
WE DO PAY Extra FOR THE AREA WE LIVE IN !!!!!

Hehe.
Looks like the BBC picked this up from you! They’ve cunningly re-written it - and they used the photo.

What is happening to this town? A question I am asking myself having had my 11 year old son come home from Bailey’s Court Park during the Easter holiday only to inform me that he’d seen teenagers by the gate to the children’s playground “sniffing something.” Whether it was aerosols, glue or whatever - what do they think they’re playing at doing it at 4.30 in the afternoon in full view of other, much younger children?

I have heard on the grape vine that is was a Filton high vs Patchway high fight. This is a problem that all local councils need to deal with. I know someone who was targeted the other day, kids were waiting on the corner of the road for him just because we went to filton high. he is not the sort of boy who would cause trouble and was only targeted because of his school. This is something I think needs to also be address in the schools themselves

Just want to say, that the Mark who asked this question, is not me, who has been commenting on the elections.
