Steve:
CNNC Newsround-
Prime Minster Tony Blair has backed the decision to ban hoodies and
baseball caps at a shopping centre in Kent.

It seems in a misguided effort to improve the behavior of teens in the
Bluewater Shopping Centre in Kent, the shopping center is banning
wearing Hoodies (hooded sweatshirts) and baseball caps. All this in
order to crack down on bad behaviour and stop kids frightening other
shoppers.

Tell me now, isn't this a classic case of fighting the symptom while
ignoring the problems. Aren't the same trouble-making kids going to go
to the same shopping mall and cause the same problems only wearing
different closes?

Are they really attempting to fix the problem, or are they simply
trying to appease the troubled masses?

Kemper:
They're trying to appease the old or the old-at-heart troubled masses.
