David Willetts speaks

From yesterday's speech "...fear of litigation means school trips and adventure holidays are now abandoned. Instead, children get their excitement by retreating to their bedrooms to play video games or the artificial stimulus of drink and drugs."

Fine so far, I think he's sort of missing the point a bit, but what's this?

"Nearly half of all gangs now meet in public playgrounds"

For f***'s sake David, don't keep us in suspense like this! Where do the other half of gangs meet? In shopping centres? In church halls? Somebody's front room? And where do they go once they have met? I will not rest until I find out! Do these gangs prefer swings, slides or roundabouts? So many questions!!
