[BrandNewGuy]

Dear God, have we produced young people like this? We should all hang our heads in shame, whatever our political views.

Absolutely, I fear the youths of today faces a bleak future. I wouldn't blame labour for this as some of their policies were about social inclusion. Can't say that about the Tories though.

[BrandNewGuy]

Well, Labour failed miserably then.

[firth]

OMG they are approaching the Emirates !!

[Jeremy]

If they faced a bleak future before, they face an even bleaker one now with a criminal record.

Zero sympathy.

Is that your opinion or do you have reason to believe there was an organised campaign to target the police?

[Moflo]

My son is a firefighter, he is in clapham, fire in shops with gas canisters! They were pelted with rocks! Scumbags! Police commissioner(acting) says parents to get their children off the streets! That'll work then!!

Actually, it was the Tories who have disengaged the youngsters.

How?

[Scylla100]

I think there's a link between stock markets crashing and kids rioting in London. Its heard behavior. There's some sort of zeitgeisty bubble bursting. Its like a big stampede of hoodie cows, or stock market trader cows, running us off the cliff for no logical reason any of us can really get hold of. I just hope I can get out of the way.

I live on Lordship Lane - but decided to leave my flat as soon as the trouble started. I'm staying with my parents in Cambridgeshire right now. Can anyone tell me what the current situation on Lordship Lane is? I am seriously worried about my flat (northern end of Lordship Lane). Thanks.

[Undisputedtruth]

@BrandNewGuy,

How? Cuts to EMA. Increase in tuition fees. Lack of employment opportunities.

Extraordinary. Why did you leave?

Because I didn't want to be killed or injured.

[BrandNewGuy]

Cuts to EMA will not affect the poor. Tuition fees haven't kicked in and have been woefully misreported - kids think they have to write a cheque for ?9,000 to go to university. And lack of employment opportunities has been the case for years.

13 years of Labour's social inclusion policies clearly have not succeeded.

[DinkyToy]

EMA? We have to pay these scum to go to education?

Fees increase? Despite Blairs mad ideas - it's not a god given right to go to Uni.

Employment? Maybe...however I have spoken with my Dad tonight. He's been unemployed for 3 years and yet can't quite see the justification to steal and burn other peoples property. He's strange like that.

@WJFOX

Lordship Lane is quiet at the moment. No trouble or damage at the northern end.

[nloyall]

I think a lot of parents need to be held to account tonight can't always be blaming everything on the Government. If these kids were brought up in the way that we had been I highly doubt this would be happening.

Peckham's smashed up.
