I'll second that but we'll have to wait until bab and the probation service has had a chat with them over a cup of tea and a spliff about the issues that force them to go on the rampage

Maybe the scum needs an arm around their shoulders and a whisper of 'there, there, there' in their ears. A warm drink of milk and off to bed for a good sleep, ready for work/school in the morning..

To whom it may concern:

I voted UKIP.

I was tempted to vote BNP, but I have close relations (obviously) and good friends from ethnic minorities who are very good and decent people.

Unfortunately it HAD to come to this for some people to sit up and take note of what are the inevitable consequences of their naive and short-sighted immigration and 'law and (dis)order' policies.

[Dedworth]

Cameron has been making noises about hiring ex LAPD & NYPD Chief Bill Bratton to run the Met Police.

In a similar vein I'd like to see ex Davao Mayor Rodrigo Duterte as the next Mayor of London - he's a man with some forward thinking ideas on how to deal with criminal pondlife

I think the education system is gonna be blamed for all these troubles.. out of all those arrested, not one has a gcse...

As i watched the news last night, a reporter asked a thief why she was stealing mobile fones from a shop.. she replied " its a tax rebate"...

[Tawi2]

Why do white kids from the West Midlands feel the need to speak like they come from Kingston

Wiggers innit bruv

I saw something similar on the news, the reporter was asking a non Anglo-Saxon female looter in her 30's if she was proud of herself for looting in Curry's. She said she was getting her taxes back Oh yeah, like she has worked all of her life and paid millions in taxes Aren't the state benefits she's probably sponged for years enough for her

[grahamw48]

It doesn't matter WHO they have running the police.
Until sensible laws are introduced that don't tie the hands of the police and the courts, then he will be just as impotent.

Oh, and not forgetting FIRST get rid of that nonsense human rights legislation, which has totally emasculated our whole legal system !

[Dedworth]

Of course you are right Graham but I don't think your average Lewisham Looter shakes with fear when the Met Commissioner appeals to his mummy to make sure he's off the streets and threatens to publish CCTV images.

Doesn't exactly send out the sort of message I want to hear although it probably sounds nicely soothing to "Yoof Workers" and "Community Leaders"

[scott&ligaya]

right now if any leader of any party or anyone with a major profile stepped forward and actually said what real people are thinking he /she would be elected tomorrow, it is time to deal with the dregs today, why should they be allowed to take what we all have to work for and then pay 40% income tax on plus 20% on anything I buy with what is left.

[Dedworth]

Nothing less than an Iron Fist will sort this out.

Theresa May is completely out of touch "We can deal with it. We can deal with it with robust policing, with good use of intelligence, but also with the help and support of local communities."
"The way we police in Britain is not through use of water cannon."

Utter nonsense as I said before we need Fists, Boots, Batons, Plastic Bullets, CS Gas and Water Cannon. Followed by swift trials for the perpetrators on the most serious charges eg Attempted Murder with those guilty being given maximum custodial sentences.

your certainly get them all ranting with that , well done dedworth.

when are we going to see you in action?

[KeithD]

All quiet in my neck of the woods, although I did here a couple of sheep rubbing against the gate post

[Terpe]

I watched the BBC news and listened to reports from the local people.
They all said the same.
Feral youths masked up, openly organised and just plain looting and setting fire AT WILL.
Also it was reported that police presence was either non-existent or woefully undermanned for up to 2 hours.
The looters were seen planning their targets and were really taking time to steal just what they wanted.

[scott&ligaya]

I have heard a rumour that the local traders in one part of Birmingham are arming themselves with baseball bats and other weapons and will block off thier part of a particular street.... it will happen if the Police arent let loose properly and the courts lined up behind them, lets find a deserted island off the Orkneys and just dump them all there, see how they like fending for themselves

[Steve.r]

You are right, people will start metering out their own justice if the justice system is failing them, then watch out!!



But still, these riots are certainly taking the heat off of the hacking stories and global financial meltdown

Whats the betting the rozzers then come and arrest those that where protecting their own bussinesses and not the scum rioters that where trying to rob / torch said bussinesses. Its all about justifiable force

[scott&ligaya]

apparently Cameron is speaking at 1030 am, lets see what he is going to do about it

[Dedworth]

Limp wristed - state violence is the only way to deal with the feral scum. We need a curfew plus widespread use of plastic bullets, CS gas and water cannon.

[South-east boy]

Kent Police say 10 people have been arrested after three cars were set alight in Chatham and a number of bin fires were started in Gillingham and Rainham.

Getting a bit close to home!

[scott&ligaya]

arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggggg I despair... volunteers wanting to help clean up at Clapham junction have been told they cannot due to HEALTH & SAFETY reasons..

[grahamw48]

Facebook and Twitter can work both ways.

[scott&ligaya]

yes and I believe Blackberry are helping the police, good for them

[grahamw48]

My (Policeman) nephew is on his way to help out now...from N.Yorks.

[scott&ligaya]

well lets just hope he will be okay and that he is given the right kit to look after himself

[les_taxi]

Can't blame me for that as I was too young to vote or harass Mp's then
Enoch Powell's speech was bang on and I remember getting derided on this forum for mentioning it some months ago

[johncar54]

But that was FORTY years ago, what have you done since to change anything ? Nothing I guess,

Sorry Les I am not singling you out, unfortunately you made the point so I am using you as an example. I did also say 'We' but I too have no vote in UK.
