Billy --I appreciate your taking the trouble to comment on this piece of nonsense. Dragging the speaker in was deliberate, as the riots have shown that no-one can be assumed not to have participated, a Social Worker for example pleaded guilty to some very greedy looting.
As for 'Kates', I just took my grand-daughter's name (Katie); her father always uses this variant-- it may be an Irish-ism, or just him. Then when 'mates' turned up as a rhyme, I was a bit annoyed, as it looked so much like a forced rhyme! At least you spared me that -- but of course, it still does look forced.
