Mark Duggan

Recommended Posts

I haven't read the report but for me it's fairly simple.


If you carry a gun or even hang around wt people who carry guns, you have to expect consequences like this.


The police may have shot in haste but they're just doing their job and fully understandable reaction in a situation like this, regardless of all the training they get.


It doesn't bother me one bit that someone like Mark Duggan met his end like that. Most likely would have been shot by another gangster sooner or later....play with fire etc etc bla bla...

I think it's provided by an independent body and should be taken at face value.

These are the met police, not Judge Dredd in megacity one - you think an investigation into an incident where the polcie shot & killed someone is a waste ?

I've not read the whole report (and I'm not going to), but from what I have read it just seems that no real conclusions can be reached because there is no evidence, so it's a case of we'll never no for sure, but this is quite likely what happened, and at the end of the day he wasn't a very nice guy and he did have possession of a gun.

His Aunt (I think it was) was on the radio yesterday. What was Mark doing that day? "He was going home for his tea".


What sort of country are we living in where a man can't simply go home for his tea - with his gun - without meeting his death at the hands of the Met armed response unit? If it can happen to him, it can happen to anyone going home for their tea with their gun.

Granted, and i accept that an investigation should take place following incident of this nature.

My issue is when it becomes a drawn out affair because some parties aren't willing to accept the evidence and try to paint him as an innocent victim.

It shows that a whole bunch of (what are now proved to be) twats wrecked several town centres and 100s peoples' livelihoods and homes just because they thought some bloke with a gun had been done badly by the Met.


Or, more accurately, saw it as an excuse for such antics.

Signs of a fecked society if ever there was one.

A very small amount of people kicked off that day because they'd even read the news about this. Most people kicked off that day because it seemed like fun and because they are morons.

If you were looking for a libertarian left right on response from the EDW massive....it hasn't happened. Looks like broad agreement on this one.

I wasn't looking for any kind of response. Just think it's interesting to hear peoples thoughts on it. I've encountered some pretty polarised views today.

the majority of disorderly behavior that night had no connection with what happened in Tots to duggan in reality, whatever the talking heads said at the time. sometimes you dont need much of an excuse to run amok. every generation gets its chance to riot.


shitty reason for a riot, shitty behavior by the rioters, shitty outcome for those involved in any dimension.



Not one of britains high points in the past few years

there is little as exciting as being involved in a riot, its hard to explain if you have not- the rush is scarey-0 its not hard to see how it unfolded so quickly

    • I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me. 
    • If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?
    • I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing. 
    • interesting read.  We're thinking about the same things for our kids in primary school as well. One thing I don't understand about Charter ED is whether they stream / set kids based on ability.  I got the impression from an open evening that it is done a little as possible. All i could find on-line was this undated letter - https://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/_site/data/files/users/18/documents/9473A8A3547CCCD39DBC4A55CA1678DC.pdf?pid=167 For the most part, we believe in mixed ability teaching and do not stream in Year 7 or Year 8. The only exceptions to this are that we have a small nurture class for Maths. This is a provision for students who scored lower than 85 in their SATS exams and is designed to support them to acquire the skills to access the learning in mainstream class. We do not have nurture classes for any other subjects. We take a more streamed - though not a setted - approach in Maths and Science from Year 9 onwards. though unsure if this is still accurate reflection of policy, and unsure of difference between streaming and setting.
