I haven't read the report but for me it's fairly simple.


If you carry a gun or even hang around wt people who carry guns, you have to expect consequences like this.


The police may have shot in haste but they're just doing their job and fully understandable reaction in a situation like this, regardless of all the training they get.


It doesn't bother me one bit that someone like Mark Duggan met his end like that. Most likely would have been shot by another gangster sooner or later....play with fire etc etc bla bla...

I think it's provided by an independent body and should be taken at face value.

These are the met police, not Judge Dredd in megacity one - you think an investigation into an incident where the polcie shot & killed someone is a waste ?

I've not read the whole report (and I'm not going to), but from what I have read it just seems that no real conclusions can be reached because there is no evidence, so it's a case of we'll never no for sure, but this is quite likely what happened, and at the end of the day he wasn't a very nice guy and he did have possession of a gun.

His Aunt (I think it was) was on the radio yesterday. What was Mark doing that day? "He was going home for his tea".


What sort of country are we living in where a man can't simply go home for his tea - with his gun - without meeting his death at the hands of the Met armed response unit? If it can happen to him, it can happen to anyone going home for their tea with their gun.

Granted, and i accept that an investigation should take place following incident of this nature.

My issue is when it becomes a drawn out affair because some parties aren't willing to accept the evidence and try to paint him as an innocent victim.

It shows that a whole bunch of (what are now proved to be) twats wrecked several town centres and 100s peoples' livelihoods and homes just because they thought some bloke with a gun had been done badly by the Met.


Or, more accurately, saw it as an excuse for such antics.

Signs of a fecked society if ever there was one.

A very small amount of people kicked off that day because they'd even read the news about this. Most people kicked off that day because it seemed like fun and because they are morons.

If you were looking for a libertarian left right on response from the EDW massive....it hasn't happened. Looks like broad agreement on this one.

I wasn't looking for any kind of response. Just think it's interesting to hear peoples thoughts on it. I've encountered some pretty polarised views today.

the majority of disorderly behavior that night had no connection with what happened in Tots to duggan in reality, whatever the talking heads said at the time. sometimes you dont need much of an excuse to run amok. every generation gets its chance to riot.


shitty reason for a riot, shitty behavior by the rioters, shitty outcome for those involved in any dimension.



Not one of britains high points in the past few years

there is little as exciting as being involved in a riot, its hard to explain if you have not- the rush is scarey-0 its not hard to see how it unfolded so quickly

      Southwark council maintenance

      By Kaya snow 12 · Posted

      I pay £4,500.00 service charge for my one bedroom property on Sydenham Hill in the area of Bromley court and attleborough court. What are the Southwark council doing with our money. The grass needs cutting and the weeds need clearing from paths, walkways and walls. It use to look well manicured,  now it’s a wreck. I should have a reduction in my service charge as I’m paying towards something that is not being done .

      Electrician recommendation: Electrical Initiative Ltd

      By Drake98 · Posted

      Following up on my post of May 12, Leon of Electrical Initative arrived yesterday and fitted my new consumer unit. He did an extremely thorough job, not rushing anything, which I find very reassuring. So often I get a repair job where the impatient workers seem to be in a tearing hurry to finish up, move their parked van so they won't get a ticket, get to the next job, and collect their money. Not Leon. After about two hours of careful work and tests, made all the more challenging by his having to work in a cramped space under the stairs, I now have an up-to-date consumer unit installed, one that's up to code with the latest regulations. He also found an extra 20 mins to fit a new bathroom light for me, and adjusted the settings for me too. Two jobs on a single call, as he'd promised he would - what more could you want? I whole-heartedly recommend this honest and trustworthy trader to anyone who needs electrical work done in SE London.

      GALA 2024

      By fishboy · Posted

      Not looking quite how it did before GALA turned up, I'll be very interested to know what they can do to "reinstate" it & how long it will take to recover. And how they're going to remove all the litter - there'll be plenty of fag butts, filter tips, cable ties, bottle tops, ring pulls and god knows what else firmly stuck in that mud...
