12 years old? 13 -14 years old?


This is the result of no fcking discipline in both the schools and the home. This is the result of adults being too scared to take a youngster to task for low level behaviour.


We now a an entire generation who are simply no longer scared of authority of any sort. The next time one of the Loony Left suggests any sort of progressive moddy-coddling - think of this night.


Lawlessness. Muggings. Fear. Fire. Homes and business owned and built over generations destroyed.


I doubt I will be sleeping tonight. I will be spending the night defending my home, my neighbours and my street.


With a fcking cricket bat. What will you do if it reaches your front door?

I call bullsh*t. 14-year-olds out on the streets looting have spent all but one of those years under a Labour government. Any responsibility there?

I was swimming with my toddler in Peckham Pool 5-6 pm. Pool shut and let people out but not in. They let us out from back door so we would be closer to car, but car was blocked just outside on the main street because of rioters. We could not moved for ten minutes and I was terrified for my little one in the back as youth was walking past with stones, etc. Finally two policemen noticed the 5 blocked cars and managed to move bus out of the way. Got as far as the pharmacy (ABC?) at the big traffic lights when we had to veer off towards Goose Green because of the burning bus on the main road. Some kids with metal chairs smashed a car just two cars ahead of me, which had slowed down to let some pedestrains through. Finally got home going via Dogkennel Hill... Boy safe in bed now, but what the hell is going on?!

Honestly, really and truly just f-off with the sodding hug-a-hoodie context. Just send in the damn army if there are not enough cops. The little twunts that robbed and smashed windows in LL didn't do it because of any social context - they did it because they knew the police are stretched to the limit and they can get away with it.


Take your socks and sandals somewhere else.

This is not the police's fault so why are you disgusted by them?

Utter Tosh - these people have no 'cause', they looked like they were having a 'right laugh' on the news footage. Mindless violence, detsroying homes, businesses and lives - I struggle to find a justifiable context to that.......

Hang on. Wasn't it just last year that Teresa may said she could cut police forces because British people didn't riot? Sorry, but there is wider context. Reducing it to "hug a hoodie" is risible


We can all (and do) condemn the thugs as much as we like. Teresa may spent an eternity doing it earlier tonight. But it doesn't achieve anything. These aren't people who respond to being chided


As for army and water cannons etc? Do people not have any me,ories of any other parts or the world or even uk, and how "successful" they were.


Calm heads required, not overreaction.


Watching the whole thing unfold tonight I was surprised to not see police go in harder earlier. I then heard them say "well...people give out when we get tough"


Yes.. With peaceful protests, not idiots like tonight

It is a moronic article. The riots have nothing to do with anything referred to by Nina Power. Don't get the hump just because people read something that looks like utter tripe and comment on it. From the looks of it, the rioting is nothing to do with austerity cuts and more to do with copy catting what is on TV in the context of the police being too busy to deal with it.


What sort of social protest does nicking fags from Londis and trainers from Footlocker in Brixton make...?

And thanks for not answering my reasonable question. I'm not a Tory and I don't eat cupcakes.

in response to my comment that I am disgusted by a police force that has forgot how to use force.


Hey, Adam999. Thanks for asking.


Let me divide up the "this" in your response.


The throwing of bricks through windows and the setting afire of buses is not the police's fault. Agreed.


The failure to act swiftly, and forcefully, to END those events... Isn't that the police's fault? Point for debate.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.
