I don't care - I will STILL refer to them as gangs when on the phone to the Police. Either that or I'll adopt a new favourite - bunch of *****.

This has been mis-reported, I saw this article on
Euro News (Yes I know, but it's less biased than
BBC World) and the term "Gang" is being discouraged
from bieng used as it can become a tag of infamy in the
same way ASBO's have, nothing to do with upsetting
the little b******s.
