See, this is why I hate these type of sites 
Hope my mums friend is ok, she lives in Clapham on a ground floor flat... she pretty fragile at the min aswell but at least she has her OH there. She lives next door to my mum but also has a place down there because that is where he works.

Fair point Soozy, maybe some of it is down to logistics but I still think a big part of it is the fear of being seen as racist.
No doubt Diane Abbot and the rest of her ilk will be out in force soon with the usual apologist shite for these little scroats burning some poor family out of their home
She was interviewed earlier on the BBC veggie, and was clear that there's no excuse for what's happening

Yep 
and now on the news they're discussing how the Police are standing back. Who can blame them? They clearly cannotb do right from wrong - God help us if some robbing, thieving, arsonist gets knocked down ----------------------they'll be endless enquiries going on for years and it'll all be the Polices's fault!
The police have a job to do - they're frightened to do it - LITIGATION!!
"Shops have been looted one by one for the past two hours in clapham and there has been no response from police"
Laughable that the Govt. planned on cutting the numbers in the police... turns out that there isn't enough.

Did she not defend them then Slinki? If so then I apologise to her but I have heard 20 years of ill informed statistically incorrect apologist crap from her so I base my opinion on that.
Now we've got Ken Livingstone on Newsnight defending the yoof whilst simultaneously (sp) saying that the police have to come down hard on them

I really am not an overly dramatic person but .....................seeing Croydon on fire has reduced me to tears. Reeves Corner is such a renowned 'historic' part of the town. What has been achieved by this? (Apart from the robbing, greedy, avaricious mob).

PMSL!! sorry 
I really do think its time for the citizens to come together and retaliate. I'm sure they're more of us the there are of them.
Why do all key players in the Government go on holiday at the saME time? Is no one left to cover? It's like the parents going on holiday and the kids having a party - FFS!

But maybe they do?
This was all predicted last year with the Tories cutting police, cutting benefits and cutting the police. Add to that a corrupt political class, corrupt police, money/jobs getting tighter while for the rich, it's business as usual.
Now, I'm not naive enough to think rioters are politically motived over cuts or even the police, they're clearly taking advantage of a situation to get some free stuff and/or for their own malicious kicks but the fact remains, the way this country has been going over 30 years, something was always going to give.
Who is really surprised? If it wasn't this year, it would be next year.
My youngest has just come down in tears cos he can't sleep as he is frightened the bad people are coming here 
One idiot uploaded this to his twitter account, are they really that stupid?
