I laughed like a drain at that one. That should be put on posters and hung all around Peckham with 'LOSER' written below it in big letters.

MrTwirly found a picture of someone looting a large pack of Pampers and looking very pleased with themselves... or should I not be surprised at that since this is East Dulwich?

He should forward the photo to the Met.

Evening, all.


I've been so utterly incensed at this seemingly unchecked thuggery, and after reading this thread I felt compelled to break cover and comment!


The previous (Labour) government created a society of entitlement. These riots are not a result of social imbalance but simply a taking of advantage against a police force with its boots cemented in the foundations of political correctness. As one born in an age when common sense ruled the day, I really have to wonder what future generations will make of all this. Common sense meant something when I was growing up in the fifties. It means nothing today.


Anyone familiar with current police proceedure will know that most are fully signed-up supporters of the doctrine that the police should use force only as a last resort. As one of the famous ?nine principles of policing?, published in 1829 at the very founding of the Metropolitan Police, puts it, the police should ?use physical force only when the exercise of persuasion, advice and warning is found to be insufficient? and to use only the minimum degree of physical force which is necessary on any particular occasion?. This was the policy of the Met during the recent protests against student fees. It had worked well enough a few days earlier when the trade unions held a march against the cuts, but the student protests turned violent. Reluctance to use force is right and we should be reluctant to reproach the police for it. However, a second attitude was at work in Tottenham. Since the Macpherson report of 1999 the police have been hyper-sensitive about race. This attitude has now become so paradoxical that they find themselves standing aside when members of ethnic minorities are being harmed. The people who ran shops, or who lived in the flats above, were not given the protection they deserved.


In this kind of atmosphere, it?s not surprising that officers in charge of subduing a riot think it safer to wait for orders from the top rather than use their discretion to protect the public without fear or favour.

maybe teh met need more tarianing as they where havcing a laugh when thy had the student roits in london and new that ther would be no fiughing backi from lazy student wokyshy layabouts the probelm now is that teh met have got soft as tehy have not had goood oposityion for a while back in the olden days a policemen could fight wiht minors and stelworkers so got tuoghenedup the police where scard in p-0ekcham this weak anjd the kis could se e it and took avantage

I see from the reports in the media that the arsonist responsible for this is to be sentenced on the 20th of February.

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
