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.
