Riots in Tottenham, London! (NO RACIST COMMENTS)

I was at Bluewater tonight and it was fine - a little police presence but nothing major.

I would find it difficult to see how rioters could do what they could as access wise it's difficult. It's not got a train station and only buses are the method of public transport and we know how they like to burn a bus. Plus you've only got one main road in.

That's what I figured, but people are getting a bit excited. Plus the rumour mill is turning. "My brother's friend's girlfriends' mate"
 
The major problem with this is the absolute **** sentencing system and the early release on 'good behaviour'. I'm sure at one point the police were feared, but with the risk of fearing racism, human rights etc et al. Their powers have been eroded.


Surely the quickest way to sort this out is with the water cannons, tear gas. Maybe even sending in the T.A/Army whoever, presence on the streets, real guns, real bullets, shoot on site if neccessary, not to kill but to injure.

If the prisons are full surely the old navy vessels can be used for holding areas?

We need the police to beome 'feared' again. Sentences need to become tough, no early release, no tv's, games, computers etc in prisons.
 
I cant believe the police are asking the parents to call their kids to stop rioting, get off the streets and go home. What the hell is going?!?!?

Don't some parents know how discipline their kids these days?? If I doing that at their age I would get a good beating from my parents! No discipline and respect....that's what's missing with some kids these days!

Their parents are alcoholics and druggies, bitter at society for failing them. Sterilisation is the way forward tbh. Sterilise all of these ****s.
 
My dad and his friend are project managing a major refit for a huge % of carphone warehouse shops across the UK.

Wonder how many have been hit in london :(

I was wondering if the head office would be hit, then realised it's in the middle of nowhere in Acton, so unlikely
 
Wonder how many parents are sitting at home watching sky, saying how terrible all this is and its their kids out there doing it

Dont be silly - the black people can't afford sky :rolleyes:

I have nonidea why everyone thinks racism is involved. Ignorant rioters are just as duckheaded, no matter the colour of their skin. Race dies not determin stupidity
 
To be fair, it is pretty easy to start a 1 man small business, it's when you start getting into employing more that it starts to get tricky.

Starting a successful small business is a different matter however, and let's not get into the mess our benefits system makes of trying to do it, or the disincentive to do so.

Which is my point, we need to make it easier to set up small businesses hiring people so as to get people into work rather than assuming existing businesses will create more jobs.
