He doesn't need to.

The Home Secretary has the remit for what is happening.

How long can this go on till the Army have to come in and secure the area, surely its only a matter of time?

I think they lack good role models they grow up to imitate the whole hip hop gang culture that only gets them into trouble. Girls have a similar problem as the media loves to shove talentless bimbos like Katie Price in their faces.

Croydon is kicking off big time but no mention at all on any news channel?

Several buildings on fire, lots looted, clashes of 200+ people with police etc etc

No idea why it isn't being mentioned

Just on Sky now.

Diane Abbot talking ***** on bbc again.

MPs are so clueless with what actually goes on in real life.

Most of them are Labour with strong ethnic influences, Livingstone/Diane.

the PC in this country needs to stop, everyone must be treated equally

MORE SHOP FIRES

What's the name of the proper type of policing where they swap the batons for assault rifles with rubber bullets?

That's what is needed here. Nobody would complain except the people getting shot, and then they should be thrown in prison.

Anti Revolution?

Building fire looks bad

As I've said before, we don't have a paramilitary police force so we fortunately won't be seeing such scenes.
