    I suspect that the only way to prevent rioting is to have the power to order people to leave the area. (As it was Reading the Riot Act) If they did not do so within say 15 minutes, the force used should in effect be unlimited based on the fact anyone who chooses to ignore the order would be volunteering for what ever happened to them. Of course I am in reality just dreaming !!!!- Nothing of the sort will ever happen.

    When a person settles in UK they get all the rights that everyone has, free education, free health service, social security benefits etc. So why should they demand and get more? But they do and they will continue to do so.

    I live in Spain. If I am lucky I get a fair deal compared with Spaniards. I am grateful for that, I do not expect to get a better deal.
    ... that's MY philosophy too.

    A very valid point

    The answer to this is the Labour Party buying the immigrant vote and as you know they extended this by throwing open the floodgates to mass uncontrolled immigration thus having millions of future voters beholden to them.

    I'm not really sure how many years it's been going on so it might be wrong to say the Tories haven't had the balls to change it - however I suspect they don't have them otherwise Human Rights legislation would be binned by now.

    Personally I would never question any police action that stands the test of natural justice rather than the straighjacket of made up laws and meida with an agenda. At all times the police are as accountable as the next man or woman but they do an incredibly difficult jobs for scant reward and should rightly command our respect.

    I don't know for sure what a copper gets paid in UK today, but from conversations with officers who are currently serving, I don't think they get as good a deal as I got. I retired in 1988 and was getting something like £3,500 a year rent tax free allowance. That for sure does not exist any more, neither does free housing. Also I believe on promotion now they must sign up for a three contract, again I was virtually guaranteed a job until I retired at 30 years service.

    It was also a lot less dangerous then to be a copper and in general they had the support of the public, unlike now. I would not recommend anyone to join up now. Thank God though many still do.

    ... because - whatever else they are - they're certainly well-paid.

    its difficult for police their hands are tied to the law, cant do wrong for doing right, but someones has to take responsiblity as to how each situation is handled

    I was in Malaya in 1958, but I do recall the riots there and in Singapore in 1957, when we had to have an armed guard on our barbed wire-covered school bus, and my dad was permitted to bring his service rifle home with him.

    I can only imagine there eventually be some sort of civil war.
    Sorry to sound so depressing but that's my opinion of the way things will eventually turn out,
    Either that or we will get a very powerful right wing government one day and they will 'deal' with the situation
    It's a bad state of affairs and of course when this all dies down we will all be happier but it will never go away and as the immigrant community grows and grows they will reach a size where their will of life will be imposed on us all I fear

    Or eventually, the minority groups will take over and the indigenous Brits will be ignored and pushed to one side (Rather like the established 'class' in Southern Rhodesia, the wealth creators being expelled) or look at history, the Native Brits were replaced by the various invading hoards, Angles, Saxon, Vikings, Romans, French etc.

    The original immigrants were brought to UK from West Indies after the war (early 50's I think) to do the jobs which the indigenous Brits either would not do or to fill the vacancies caused by the loss of male lives during the war.

    The first wave were 'grateful' for their new jobs, worked hard, were law abiding and stayed in their jobs until retirement. Unfortunately it was the subsequent generations of UK born 'immigrants' (some of whom) were and are the problem.

    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    Maybe if one of them fire-bombs hit the Houses of Parliament the spineless MPs will return from their holiday homes and do something about it.

    ...not that I'm holding my breath.

    Things are shaping up for another Bosnia in a few years time.

    ... you haven't actually "heard" the [offending] phrase again, Les ... only just ... along with my suggestion on how to deal with this intolerable behaviour from those deviant, so-called members of the human race.

    Fear not,Mayor Boris has pledged to cut-short his valuable vacation time and return henceforth to londinium to quell the riot single handed We need snatch-squads,water-cannon,and rubber bullets,oh and a modicum of tear-gas,they have had their fun,time for the gloves to come off

    Perhaps we can ask NATO or the United Nations to intervene.
