Just heard that Argos in Eltham has been smashed in
(Hate to add humour, cos it is by no means funny)...but I hope they don't mind waiting......
They'll wait ages there....the service ain't the best!
Perhaps their Parents and wider family should have kept a firmer grip............
...and perhaps concecutive Governments should have taken care of them rather than Middle England and the rich.
Maybe I am missing something but what has been done to them,have they been isolated from the rest of the UK.They are not looting because of economic climate,they are looting because they are thieving bastards.
Theres rumours going around that Birmingham's Children's Hospital is being surrounded by police to protect it from possible trouble...I hope thats not true.
I'd like to think that was dropped and broke before he got it home

Yeah, on his head.
Where is the dignity and pride in these people, why do they think they are entitled to ruin lives and livelihoods of decent people?
Water cannon and tear gas are long overdue here, screw their human rights, they've taken away other people's human rights to a business and possessions.
I'm stunned at what's going on.

they are quick to cut essential services, holidays apparently are a different matter

Well said 
If you are disillusioned with your life - is this really the way to express it? Why attack the people who live alongside you? Is that any answer?
I spent many years protesting for animal rights/environmental rights/anti war etc. We were systematically threatened/arrested/attacked by police and often by the people we were demonstrating against.
There was never ever a shortage of police or the resources to crush us down so how is it that these kids are able to behave like this with impunity?
I may get shouted down for this but I think there is an element of being afraid to tackle these kids because of the 'Is it coz I is black' defence they will use.
Watching Sky news.....bugger...that fire in Croydon is horrific Makes me feel so angry and so helpless all at the same time...

Veg, I hadn't even got to the end of your post and I immediately thought a racist issue? Frightened to tackle?

Maybe but ...............i think it's purely a question of - where will they strike next - the Police departments are spread over a large area - if all your guys are out in Croydon and then it kicks off in Peckham - what do you do? I think cut backs in Policing have been going on for some time - if you need a huge Pol;ice presence in one particular area - what happens if there is an incidence close by?
Theres rumours going around that Birmingham's Children's Hospital is being surrounded by police to protect it from possible trouble...I hope thats not true.
I hope not - I know there's been damage in Colmore Row which isn't too far away from BCH but I guess if they're intent on causing damage it won't matter to them that there's a hospital in the vicinity with very sick children
Just listening to Trevor Reeves on Sky News....so sad 
(and now his brother)...how awful to watch their lives burn on tv.....
The Met.
Some flagship force.
Soozy.... Trevor Reeves talking on Sky at the moment
He sounds devastated - 5 generations of Reeves have worked there
Just awful

I completely agree
I have also marched mainly in the miners dispute,we couldnt move .It was like a Police state.
The fact that everyone is so helpless makes it worse I guess too
Ed Miliband saying we need strong police response.... yes we bloody do, stop pussyfooting around them.

That poor family,a broken man .A decent hard working family for 5 generations.I could cry.

Made me cry....when his brother (didn't get his name) was breaking down talking about the people they employ....awful for them.

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

No, this is too big for the police. It needs the army I think
They are scum ,they are lawless, and they have committed a criminal offence ,they are criminals
They are 10 years old, get a grip.
At that age they know right from wrong...they steal and they know they shouldn't...stealing is an offence, they are criminals, or Young Offenders if you prefer
Ed Miliband saying we need strong police response.... yes we bloody do, stop pussyfooting around them.
And the Armed forces....and we need them now...tomorrow morning is too late.

Yes....
and these are the people i feel for and with whom my sympathies lay......not the brain dead waste of space oxgygen thieves who think it's their right to take take take and cause endless violence and destruction just cos they feel like it

A mother of a very sick child in the BCH has tweeted that this is happening.
The world has gone mad.

If the police had used water cannon and tear gas we may have a different situation Pam....charging ten yards and watching them scatter and backing off is not working.
