They were quiet because they had already done all the damage over the 3 previous days! Nothing to do with extra men on the ground.

Nothing at all ?

I'm afraid it is relevant, because if footballers are the only sort of role model to these boys what do you think happens to them if they aren't good at football? The number of boys who are good enough to play football professionally is a tiny percentage of the total population. For those who aren't, it's considerably more difficult to get out of the ghetto.

what happens to them if they aren't good at football? then they find something else they are good at...

Blank canvas's and all that. On a serious note though past building legislation and social housing schemes are in part responsible for current issues. Tightly packed housing with little or no amenity space, with little or no community focal areas (shops, churches etc) can often lead to a feeling of detachment and isolation. Having pride in where you live joes some way towards you respecting and treating it well.

absoloutely. bring someone up in a rat-run built in the 70's and it's easy to see where the crime mindset is created. i remember visiting a housing estate in wales that was essentially a rat-run and it really effected me, made my head spin and i was only there for 1 day.

Great quote from Waterstone's employee on the news: "We'll stay open, if they steal some books they might learn something"

Haha

Those who said bring in the army, do you still believe that is necessary given that London was relatively quiet last night with extra boots on the ground ?

A good point, but its also a good point that the trouble moved elsewhere (due to bobbies being drafted into London perhaps?)

but it's taken too long to get to that, i think that's the point. should've obtained more power on saturday. catching something early is always the best way is it not? i know it comes down to resources but it's taken way too long to get to this.

Apparently there was Confusion in Tottenham this morning as the rioters who torched a post office at the weekend, turned up wanting to collect their benefits.

Because there is nothing racist about it. It is called freedom of speech, you don't have to agree with everything that everyone says.

It's blatant Racism which is dancing on the edge of being Incitement to racial hatred

You and all the other rancid racists in here might wanna watch what you say or you might find themselves on a police watchlist

I don't know, you tell me, I'm not in their heads so couldn't possibly know what they find interesting or what they are good at. Although at the moment it seems to be looting.

Zoinks. Did I miss an apostrophe? Good job it didn't decimate the rest of the sentence though rendering incomprehensible.

To make up for it though i'll add a ran'dom one in this reply and flagillate myself.

The how is black pride not racist?

How is gay pride not hetrophobic?

Black pride would be racist if combined with a statement about removing all whites from their society.

Gay pride would be heterophobic if they were also insinuating heterosexuality was wrong and should be removed.

I think you ignore the effects of spending cuts at your own peril. It's not like the Conservative's weren't warned that their planned spending cuts would cause unrest - the leader of their coalition partners warned them before the election.
