Tottenham - Enduring Image

[Just One More]

I didn't expect to wake up those continuous images on Skynews this morning. Shocking footage of the scenes overnight, but the one image that will stay in my mind was the live one only three or four minutes ago where two coppers had two girls aged no more than 12, they were being questioned, they had there hands behind their backs and they were handcuffed. Now they MAY be little toerags already, but it's hardly going to get them to show admiration with the police in the future.

Having been responsible for the operational management of several sites in the area that we guarded when the last lot kicked off I can assure you that those little girls will have had no love of the police anyway. The "children" were frequently the ones used to carry the weapons and petrol bombs etc in and out..... A trick the locals picked up from the IRA. I doubt that the police have forgotten.

I agree ,many  kids nowadays have no respect for person or property. many of the thugs last night destroying Tottenham would have been no more than kids

Not just kids sadly.

Bunch of selfish twats came slithering down our road a week last night at 1:00am, hollering and hurling drunken abuse at everyone and everything. waking the whole neighbourhood up.
Looked out, and I'd say they were in their mid 30's, men and wimmin, smartly dressed and I think probably on their way back from the Chester races evening via our local 'trendy' absolute shit hole of a pub, where all the best top class scum bags hang out every weekend cus of the late bar.

Absolutely NO respect and no consideration for anyone but their greedy nasty little selves.

I want OUT!

It's all sooooo sadly predictable  .

Opportunistic thuggery - sickening behaviour from low life

I heard the phrase 'recreational violence' used this morning ... oh dear, oh dear.

[Miss Demeanour]

Honestly it is making me seethe today   

[Snoopy]

Trot up to Wood Green and tell 'em that. 

[Miss Demeanour]

Don't need to ....just had to go through Brixton this morning and look around at the pointless wankers that have smashed up everything in sight.

Still it's the only way they are ever going to get that new pair of trainers or a new 3D TV

The pressure is ramping up on Boris Johnson to return from holiday and and take charge of what looks likely to be an ongoing stretch of disorder

We are all feckin doomed

Pressure from who?
The Daily Mail I suppose. 

To misquote Alistair Campbell again. "The Press are having a wankfest over this but the country at large doesn't give a f***"

[Miss Demeanour]

 

Boris's decision to stay on holiday has been defended by his deputy, Kit Malthouse, who said that reacting to the criminals "is kind of rewarding them", but there is a rising sense that the mayor should be back to deal with the situation.

Mr Johnson did himself no favours by repeatedly referring to Mark Duggan, the man killed by police on Thursday, as Michael.

Don't quite understand looting whilst rioting. At what point do you stop standing up for what you believe in and decide life would be better with a free radio alarm clock?

[Miss Demeanour]

There were no principles being defended. Just diversions and distractions so that the acquistion could take place.

Mind you some of the aspirations weren't very high ...one of my favourite pictures

If you are going to loot from Curry's go for the value range of microwaves  .....can't imagine how she got caught 

[GROWLER]

Can anyone suggest a reason why water cannons aren't being used please....preferably with the use of concentrated hydrochloric acid.
Bloody madness that all plod appear to have in their armourmant, are plastic shields  from Toys R Us ,crash hats with ROZZERS written on them, and a few old unprotected dobbins to lollop around on.
Pathetic.

Get the friggin' army in and blast this selfish greedy vilolent filth off the streets and down the man hole covers where they belong.

I fully expect this 'fun' to spread nationwide now tbh.
