    Yet another incident happening in Caerphilly. I wonder what the outcome of this one will be?

    Easy to suspect that the incident will end in ` no further action`.

    Certainly no Police Time should be expended on it beyond acting on any information they may be given by the public, Gobby` people are Gobby people in all walks of life, did he steal anything? did he assault anyone?, did he threaten to ` duff someone up`? not according to the report.

    An incident of "verbal abuse"? don`t make me laugh, it happens every day in Caerphilly town, particularly during the activity periods of the Night Time economy activity. No Police to be seen let alone investigate complaints of it. Over kill and disproportionate to the reported incident.

    Quite agree Jeff. Life is made up of hurtful things. With verbal abuse you just need to ignore it and carry on.

    If the police were called every time someone said something most agreeable, there would be no police left on the beat.

    I agree with the above comments, people have seen fit to verbally abuse me in Caerfili all my life. I can't say I am overly bothered by it, I usually can give as good as I receive or choose to ignore it. A disproportionate action by the police.

    So less an incident and more so an upset. Not quite the lawless badlands of a Mad Max scenario after all then. How disappointing for the regressive daily wail brigade. Still I'm sure they'll find some reason to call for public floggings and issue demands to bring back hanging soon enough.

    On the plus side, the picture might shame the individual in to behaving a little better in future.
