My Brother lives in Enfield, His wife had to go a different way to work this morning as the center was closed off.
 
Are his complaints of racism by the Police valid?

Possibly? Who knows, it's not like accusations of institutional racism have never been levelled at the Met before.

The police up here done the exact same thing, ended up straying off statistically into pulling over the Asian community at the train stations and ports.

There are lots of people in poverty all over the UK yet the trouble over the past few days has been committed in the main by black people.

And?
 
Why should they? They're on holiday.

There is significant amount of criminality rolling about the capital being broadcast around the world? I would rather the man in charge of the country being hands on, as opposed to hands off.

It would also quiet the calls for leadership from the PM and Mayor.
 
Anyone else thinking of this:

You're standing right now with nine delegates from 100 gangs. And there's over a hundred more. That's 20,000 hardcore members. Forty-thousand, counting affiliates, and twenty-thousand more, not organized, but ready to fight: 60,000 soldiers! Now, there ain't but 20,000 police in the whole town. Can you dig it?

probably not. they probably treat them with kidgloves through fear of being accused as racist. if anyone breaks the law, black, white, whatever, stop treating them like they are the victims. innocent until proven guilty i understand but if a police officer has caught a person in the act, they should use great force during the arrest if needs be.

It would make no difference imo.
 
The trouble is, in a lot of ways what can Boris do?
He can have a wonder around the destruction and condemn it, but that doesn't really change things.

It's the Police which are at the top, admittedly missing a Head Commissioner at the moment, but they can get on with it and it's good at least that Theresa May has given up her holiday.

The one thing which is silly which the news has mentioned is that both Cameron and Clegg are on holiday at the same-time. There should defiantly be a deputy here if the Primeminister is going to be away.

Like I've said before... if black kids want to stop the Police targeting them, then stop dressing and acting like 'thug life' types. If you dress like them and wear hoodies up all the time, you are just adding to the stereotype and are asking to be stopped. People just don't seem to be able to understand that. Act like a gangster and people are going to treat you like one.
 
When they looted Currys, Took the Laptops etc.. The Sandybridge's have a remote kill switch that can be activated even when the machines are off (through 3G) IIRC.

Can they all be killed? They should do it if they can.
