I have to say that although I work in Nottingham I grew up in Derby and while I always used to get stick for it I was pretty proud of Derby, warts and everything, so to speak.  Though today after reading the following I am truly ashamed to be associated with the people of that town.  I first read about this when it first happened but hearing it again first hand is just disgusting.  If this is the evolution of people today then I think we should all hang our heads in shame:

My thoughts go out to Shaun’s family, I can only hope that the people involved are ashamed of themselves.  I only hope that this was a sick minority and not a true reflection of “the general public”.
