And....... far less trouble. Why couldn't this have been done a couple of days ago?

Well, let's think about that? Where have the extra 10,000 police come from? 30 different authorities have sent extra men, including Wales - some 4? 5? hours drive away. All Met police leave has been cancelled. They've called up specials and retired officers.

Do you imagine that (a) these things can be achieved at the drop of a hat? or (b) that it was obvious from the start they'd be necessary?

We have such serious social issues in this country.

Housing estates are the primary source of all of these problems. They are the communities that breed a '**** the police' mentality. They're the ones you see stream out of their houses whenever police go anywhere near them to make an arrest, in order to give the police a hard time and push them out, like they're an enemy. They're the ones that have disrespectful children who are out at all hours of the day with very little parental discipline.

No legitimate, sensible, caring and morally assured parents would let their kids roam the streets knowing what is going on around the country. Those that are allowing it either have absolutely no control over their kids at all or they know and don't care, they may even want them to bring home loot.

No respectable parent is going to let their child bring home hundreds or even thousands of pounds worth of items into their home without at least questioning it.

This is a major aspect of events that hasn't really been focused on enough.

The only end I can see to this is when the unscrupulous scum that are participating in all of this finally decide they're happy with their hauls of loot and no longer want to risk being prosecuted to get more. The police and government will step things up if it continues and the odds of being caught will rise, particularly as many have already given up and are probably feeling delighted with their ill gotten gains (and gains they are, hundreds of pounds worth at least for most people involved).

It can easily flare up in the future too.

They're digging themselves a hole. They're reducing the chances of jobs in their areas, reducing the chances of themselves getting on the right track of employment by the criminal records many of them will get and they're increasing the burden on the public purse which will further boost the very things they may partially be unsettled about (inflation, taxes, cuts).

I still personally hate to see people act like the cuts are the problem. It amazes me how uneducated and short sighted the population can be over such a thing as cuts. What do they expect the government to do after 13 years of completely irresponsible over spending? You can only do it for so long until you have to put a stop to it or the country will go bankrupt. I can't believe some kids (and their parents) think it's alright to do these things because they lost their EMA, or because the police stop and search them sometimes, it's ridiculous. The left should take some serious responsibility for festering such an attitude of entitlement in this country for so long.

That shopkeeper who was just on Sky News was so completely and utterly right.

They do have a future if they are willing to work, to try and to make the best of their lives. They choose to be scum, they choose to continue their horrible attitudes and lack of respect. They are choosing to loot and make short term gains at the expense of long term poverty, economic decline and a breakdown of their local communities. It's just that they do not care at all, they'll get their few thousand pounds (or more) from their loot, they'll enjoy their trendy new electricals and clothes, but they still wont have jobs or a real future. What happens later? More crime? A life on benefits? The cycle will continue.

Estates, benefits, political correctness, irresponsible breeding and poor education have created this giant social underclass which has encapsulated half of an entire generation of people in this country. We're in serious trouble over this and I honestly cannot see any group of politicians from any party ever having the support or bravery to come out and take decisive and desperately needed action to combat this mass social decline.

Very ashamed and unhappy with all of these looters, their parents, family members who don't report it. We used to be such a great country, the decline is clear for all to see.

True, but disaster is what makes things apparent and this has been a long time coming.

Unfortunately this time, solution is difficult to find, im seriously contemplating moving to Asia.

The west is finished.

Also, if rubber bullets had been used in the first place we would have been saved gajillions of pounds worth of damage and theft that honest taxpayers like me have to pay for.
I'll take a temp ban for telling you what I think of you under the circumstances as this is very emotive, and I'm very emotional.
Get out!

No copper will use rubber bullets. If one accidentally kills someone or does serious injury then that copper will be fried by the media. This may not be so much the case now after all that's happened but 2 days ago, certainly.

You don't have to be rich to have morals.

Until these kids are as skinny as a povety stricken 3rd world country african, they have no ******* right to loot and act like a ****, and NEVER EVER any right to vandalise other peoples property or to steal TV's.

The only way I would sanction stealing is when it comes to survival (Food and Water). If your stealing TVs your just a scroat.
