It is very unlikely that the police can catch burglars, street thieves etc in the act and they can just solve crimes that have already been committed using intelligence. So it is up to the general public to keep their valuables and themselves safe.Since there are no REAL deterrents when these scrotes are caught especially the younger ones, nothing will improve.

The fact that they cover their faces means that if they did cause a serious accident they won't get recognised on CCTV. I agree it is a direct challenge on the law but these types of kids have had networks of communication before mobile phones and social media. I witnessed a line-up of kids against a wall in Goodrich Road about 20 years ago and there were several police vehicles and the whole of the tiny area between Crystal Palace Road and Landells road was swarming with teens lounging over car bonnets and one lad was following a cop car and aggressively gesticulating to the police. I asked one of the policemen why the saturation and he said that they all swarm to a place to intimidate witnesses and the police have to turn up well prepared. It wasn't reported in the news because that is what they want- perverse isn't it? I remember the Zampa Road Millwall trouble years ago and a friend of mine said that a kid that was involved and had his mug shot on most wanted was printing it off and passing it around to his mates in school with pride.

You think- it is subjected to the supranational regulations and rules though.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Broadcasting_Union

Romania has been kicked out of the Eurovision Song Contest because it owes the European Broadcasting Union 16M Swiss francs in fees.....reason enough in itself to exit

Nothing surprises me with kids and their phones after seeing them in school deliberately starting fights and hitting teachers just so they could take a pic...evil little scrotes

These paragraphs "Not a single car among 37 models tested against the two most recent nitrogen oxide emissions standards met the EU lab limit in real-world testing, with the average emissions being more than five times as high. However, the DfT said it had found no vehicles outside the VW group with systems in place to deliberately rig emissions figures. Robert Goodwill, the junior transport minister, said: ?Unlike the Volkswagen situation, there have been no laws broken. This has been done within the rules.?" The worrying thing is that all the emissions in the lab are MUCH lower than when the engines are under load and they all breech EU regulations- (although I am very mistrustful of the EU who slap a fine on the UK every year for exceeding their pollution regulations)

Whoever came up with that name has watched an episode of South Park where there was a book written about a 'Scrotie McBoogerballs', which obviously could not be submitted....Boaty McBoatface is a cleaned up version

I hear they caught the passenger in the Land Rover that the policeman was run over by. The policeman had a suspected broken leg.

The people who called for the PM's head will make excuses for Corbyn, like he was too busy trying to look after the poor working-class people of the UK. What is worrying is that this happened at all, it kind of explains the shyte that the last Labour administration left behind if it happened through ignorance!

I've already stated in an earlier post- definitely OUT for me. Extra layers of political interference (much of it from unelected politicians) is always bad and expensive.... And as for the car manufacturing stats- you cannot compare the last 10 years with the years following entry into the EU. You only need to look around to see that very few cars on our roads are built in the UK- also in 1972 we built 1.92 million cars which considering car ownership was not ubiquitous like it is now is quite amazing, and is more than the 1.6 million manufactured last year.

I was on a bus in LL and a family of 2 women and 2 kids - looked like the grandma, mum and 2 kids were taking up the 4 priority seats nearest the door. The mum got up to touch her oyster in and an older person went to sit in her vacated seat. The grandma woman said to the older person 'you can't sit there- that's someones seat'...the older person shuffled off to the back....I think all this priority parking places for children and the like has addled some people's brains

That Spirit thing resembles Pachabel's cannon in it's structure https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOA-2hl1Vbc. It is a basic musical structure like an arpeggio so I think LZ will get let off (I hope so or the flood gates will open) The funniest example of this is when Malcolm the genius in Season 6 episode 7 of Malcolm in the Middle tries his very hardest to compose a guitar song and it ends up like the Miaow Mix advertisement.

Just because it's more convenient in the short term doesn't mean we should stay in what is not much less than a bloody lefty gravy-train dictatorship... I voted NO to the EEC... it was the first time I was allowed to vote...there was a promise that all of Europe would be driving around in British made cars (ha ha ha)...2 years ago the Ford transit van plant was closed in Southampton and moved to Turkey so obviously it matters not if we are in or out, business will move to where it is cheap. As for the finance being moved to Frankfurt, they were talking about that years ago even before BREXIT was mentioned- so that's another smoke screen. As for the dept of Business Innovation and Skills....waste of time obviously (just another layer upon layer of suits and bureaucracy creating more paper mountains in Brussels) when the UK is full of foreign businesses, innovators and skilled people- NOTHING is actually being done to improve the future and prospects of our young people- in fact it is quite the opposite...

This is not funny. Notice that owners of large vehicles rarely park outside their own homes because it leaves YOUR house with the caravan or whatever outside of it, more vulnerable to being burgled. Owners of large vehicles should park outside their own homes or outside houses with massive hedges- it's only good manners which seem to be severely lacking these days

I have worked in secondary schools in SE London and there is drug dealing going on, many lads carry weapons- not necessarily knives but something that does the same job- because they think that every one else is carrying a weapon. I don't know about ALL schools obviously, but I know that at least two do not welcome involving the police in any law breaking because the heads think that the pupils view the school as a 'safe haven' that needs to be preserved, and they do not involve the police. A colleague's car was extremely badly vandalised on site and the culprits were seen and the head refused to involve the police...that was the extent of the head's stupidity at one school. Some year 9 pupils were actually SEEN hiding drugs on school premises by support staff and a member of senior management was informed who told them to mind their own business- it was never reported. IMHO the head teacher of the school did these pupils no favours by viewing the police as some kind of 'enemy'....strong links should be forged in order to actually create a safe haven for our children- not protect miscreants under the guise of being their friend.

Blah Blah- you are wrong when you say that in their day grammar schools were likened to public schools because when grammar schools were ubiquitous, they served the working classes very well indeed, (ALL my teachers at grammar school were from Welsh mining villages e.g.) It is now that grammar schools- the few that are left- have the status of public school and it was a very short-sighted public school educated Labour minister that set that particular ball rolling to the detriment of the WHOLE of the working class, and everyone else, except for public school and foreign educated people. And as for industry, raw materials, like coal, is a finite resource, oil is a finite resource, iron ore is a finite resource... and they have become non-viable as industries. Things change. The Labour party has done very well at preventing the ordinary man from bettering himself and therefore keeping him in the pocket of Labour, and keeping his vote.

I was not surprised when this hit the headlines...it was his father that started the BlairMoore company and I feel it is in the same realms of blaming a person because his/her parents sent him/her to public school at the age of 5....I've always preferred Tory politicians in government because they are well off and privileged and they are therefore not bogged down in the politics of envy like many Labour politicians. Labour politicians seem to have the attitude that 'we are all in it together', yeah- down in the depths of poverty and despair, instead of aiming for something a lot better.

I worked for a time in a large London teaching hospital and one of the doctors was relentlessly ribbed when he went off to do his private work....

The trouble with having martial arts on the curriculum is that ALL the kids- good and bad- will be enabled...i.e. tooled-up A 4 day week would mean more immigrants to fill the job vacancies (because as we all have been led to believe, the indigenous are lazy sods and will not do the 'menial' jobs), and the population would expand at a faster rate than it is now. I agree about tax avoidance though. But there are people who have no social conscience. A colleague who was a regular church-goer, took full advantage of dodgy dealings going on when the docklands area was re-developed and managed to get herself and her kids a nice little property portfolio. Also, another person I know used to illegally bypass her electricity meter at evenings and weekends and was shown how to do it by an electrician employed by the met police....the only way to stop these leeches is to have massive sanctions as a deterrent.

Is that not Lu Corfield the actress? She was in a BBC soap called Doctors then she lost a lot of weight and popped up in other things. Why is she wearing an unnecessary string of wooden beads around her neck if she is so Green?

A yoga vest ?55 ...blimey- is that truly in the spirit of yoga? More money than sense some people

That's really stupid if your figures are correct parkdrive. I personally know of someone who got caught claiming housing benefit whilst they had more than ?100,000 savings and they got caught doing it more than once but other than paying the money back there was no penalty. I also heard of people who squander benefits money and then get their rent arrears written off. There should definitely be an incentive system for the encouragement of honesty rather than the present system
