I just don't know if they were right but one thing is certain there are many parents in London who have no control over their children or else they don't care about them.

Gonna go out on a limb here and wager most of these kids dont know who their fathers are.

True that, the Brits have double standards - no problem shooting foreigners abroad, but they'd never do anything like that in their own country.

Nobody said the British police are in other countries shooting people.

what about the Brazilian De Mendezes

TBH mate, you're speaking in riddles. Or just giving one worded sentences in reply. See above.

You're not exactly articulating what you feel the problem is and YOUR solution is. Apart from what you told me early which is give the people job schemes that will lead to actual jobs and listen to them. But again that was just a one sentence answer.

No extrapolation on this.

The UK has a very comprehensive apprenticeship scheme here which is not just aimed at trades. Lot's of opportunities in office work, retail etc.

Why aren't these kids on these schemes?

So your solution is that the British taxpayer should bribe these people more social welfare to stop them rioting?

There is only so much social welfare and education opportunities you can throw at them. Eventually they have to help themselves.

Problem is though education and spending cuts from the 70's and 80's were never reversed, this is the culmination of of decades of neglect and failure to tackle social issues. Anti-social behaviour is not a simple matter of scumbags causing trouble, eventually you have to look at underlying causes, I'm in no way suggesting the kids rioting are in anyway justified and most of them probably see all of this as a bit of fun but they clearly have never developed any sense of right or wrong and this is in part due to neither them nor their parents ever having a real stake in society so they've had no normal value system.

It's not about bribing them, it's about tackling inequality effectively. These kind of disturbances happen because of the rich poor divide which is massive in the UK and continues to grow. It's no surprise they're looting clothes and electronics when the focus of the UK economy in recent years has been to encourage personal debt to fuel rampant consumerism.

I don't know how many times in one thread this needs to be said. Sky and BBC are not showing live coverage so as not to fan the flames of the unrest. Live coverage shows the scum bags where to meet up / where the unrest is. I would imagine that this is at the request of the police too.

Don't believe this for a second. The rioters know where to go anyway.
Police stopping live coverage would be interfering with the freedom of the press.
Also, if nothing is happening in London, why aren't they even showing police presence on quiet streets.

No, he is the local vicar.

They are making a point of solidarity between different faith/ethnic communities. Doing a great job, too. A real kick in the arse to all the racists out there.

Also makes a curry too.

A curry without ghee isn't a curry.


Shopping with dad before making a curry is embarrassing though. "You get the ghee, I'll get a knob of ginger"

Interfering with freedom of the press? It's the UK, not the USA.

Well said, but it will fall on deaf ears in here and the UK. Until they have to listen at least, but then the damage will be a lot greater than a few burned businesses and stolen iWhatevers.

So what changed from the coverage early yesterday evening ? Did Sky News and BBC News suddenly both at the same time have a drastic downturn in quality live coverage for no reason at all ? Why did the Sky News chopper stop broadcasting, land and not take off again ? You think it's because editors / journalists suddenly lost their balls ?
