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.

    • What "stricter" consequences could there be for shoplifting (or any other crime) than being put into jail, do you think? Though our prisons are of course full enough already, without more people being shoehorned  into them.
    • Returning to the original question, I had my jabs at Tessa Jowell yesterday. I was early and I was  seen on time, and it was a lovely pharmacist who did them, but the admin beforehand (not by her) was a bit iffy. I was given forms to fill in but not told what to do with them afterwards, so I  presumed I had to take them into the consulting room, as the rest was supposed to be filled in by a clinician, but no! After some time had elapsed and I had found a seat (there was no information on where to sit either, so people were sitting in two separate areas, neither of which had many seats) my name was called and  the forms were taken behind the counter. Be aware if you don't have an appointment - even in the relatively short time I was there, three people turned up without appointments having been sent there by a GP (I presume) or having  previously been  asked by the pharmacy to come  back at a different time, and they were all sent away again because the pharmacy didn't have enough flu vaccine until the following day. I have no idea if this was due to a misunderstanding on the people's side, their GP's or the pharmacy's, but none of them were very happy, and one lady said she "couldn't keep coming back" 😭  At least one of them didn't seem to understand what he was being told, possibly due to a language issue. I felt quite sorry for the pharmacist, who was giving jabs all day on top of her usual workload but still managing to stay cheerful! Though she wasn't the one dealing with the unhappy people! I have a sore arm from the Covid jab (I chose to have the jabs in different arms), but no other ill effects so far, touch wood. 
    • Line speed and the strength of your Wi-Fi signal are two separate things.  The first is determined by the type of connection (fibre/copper etc) to the outside world and the second is the connection between the device (printer/TV/laptop/tablet etc) and the router. If you are connecting a device to the router using cables (as Alec1 is) then this is will give the best possible connection but isn't practical for many without a degree of upheaval and even then not all devices (tablets for example) will allow a wired connection. So you relying on the quality of the Wi-Fi signal from the router to the device and this will depend on the quality of the router, the type of Wi-Fi connection (the frequency), line of sight etc - many different things.  This is why some people opt for a "mesh" type setup which is supposed to give a solid quality of Wi-Fi signal around the house with little or no blackspots.  It's expensive though and still requires the devices that send and receive the signal (like the plug-ins you have) to be wired to the router.
    • We have had a few cat flaps over the years but none have been electronic. They just have a small clip that you turn to lock or open.  Some come with a magnet and a matching magnet that the cat wears on its collar  This prevents other cats entering.  I've not used these as I don't like the idea of a cat wearing a collar. Cats do like to be out at night and you need to encourage yours to return after a late evening sortie. Calling,rustling treat wrappers worked for ours but he seems to have now got into the habit of coming back about 9pm. without this.
