Reply to comment by atomicxblue in TIL that a prison riot in 1985 on Spike Island near Cork, Ireland, ended after a mother of a prisoner heard what was happening, came to the island,& roared at her son through a megaphone after he had been on a roof for hours; it took only a few minutes of shouting & the remaining prisoners came down by newshoeshudis

More like,

"Jesus Jimmy get down now before the neighbours see or I'll bate the living bejaysus outta you and yer poxy friends"
