It comes from "mosh pit" which was described above. A load of kids jumping into each other risking spilling ones pint.

In the 90's for me and my circle of friends, hassle from townies, scallies, chavs or whatever you want to refer to the local group of teenagers standing on the corner with their baseball caps, troop tracky bottoms etc etc was a regular occurrence.
"Hippy" was one of their favourite phrases or the classic "give me a cig" routine which often included the pigeon chest and head butt.

I was going to watch it after seeing it advertised alongside an interview with the lad who got attacked, but after that first opening couple of minutes (when they didn't even show the attack, just a few obscure close-ups and sound clips) I decided that I didn't have he stomach for it.
I've seen and endured disturbing violence before (This Is England, Pan's Labyrinth and the grim film with Monica Bellucci and the fire extinguisher scene spring to mind), but something about this one just puts it beyond me; I think it's a combination of the sheer tragedy and heartbreak of it all, but also that these kind of stories seem to be more common nowadays (perhaps more to do with media coverage) and therefore in some way more relatable and closer to the bone, as opposed to being a real standout shock like it was 10 years ago. Also, perhaps as you get older and start to care about people in your life more, the feelings towards the victims and their families in this tragedy ascend from empathetic to sympathetic and so seeing this kind of thing cuts even deeper, particularly if you're in a relationship or have kids.

As a very rough guess, and I might be going out on a limb here, but it could be because we don't have the death penalty in this country.If anybody can give one reason why these fuckers are not executed please oblige
The programme altered facts to make the narrative more exciting. It was one of the girls on the park that phoned for the ambulance not the male portrayed in the drama. Same male then had a central part as some kind of tortured anti hero, not true, he was a kunt.
Unacceptable.
Can't believe any man would use violence against a woman like that. In prison they should rank with nonces and granny bashers.

Just watched it now.
Over a dozen lives ruined by a group of thick arseholes.
Such a sad story.
Pretty much sums it up.
