    So I suppose it can happen anywhere, it's people that make an area, not facilities or lovely housing


    Or the scum from the neighbouring borough.

    Lewisham seems quite a nice well to do area
    Lots of nice houses and parks and trees

    Looked a fine area compared to Hackney or Peckham
    I don't realy know London, just going on what I see on the news

    So I suppose it can happen anywhere, it's people that make an area, not facilities or lovely housing

    Like most of London parts of it are nice, parts of it are absolute ****holes.

    Genuine question here.

    Why haven't they sent in the army? Would that not help a hell of a lot?

    To busy protecting their 'national security' overseas!

    Because that would be like admitting they've lost control of the situation.

    This is Great Britain for goodness sake Sir, not Syria!

    I just hope they can bring this under control soon. International eyes are watching and England's enemies may see this as a good time to strike.

    will look harder.. But it's a skanger issue ultimately; regardless of colour. I recommend folk take a good hard look in the mirror, could you be taken for one of these persona non grata at a glance?

    I'm off to London to get me an an Armani suit!! :eek:

    from one extreme to another.

    that's what a newly minted chav would likely do. many other options in between

    Folk need to take note of the gray tracksuited 3-stripe brand skanger adorning the papers tomorrow, the symbol of representation. For some pc reason it's still the great unsaid but that picture paints a thousand words

    Expect some very draconian laws in the UK when this is all over and a large swing to the far right.
