Well what did they expect?

I see from today's Times that Essex Man has once again demonstrated not only a complete disregard for the law but also common decency as well.

This is the case of Simon Cremer who tied up one of his employees and marched him through Witham town centre to the police station, with a hand-lettered sign bearing the word "thief" around his neck.

Mr Cremer and three members of his staff have been charged with false imprisonment.
