Spotted on my travels through deepest darkest Haringey today. A real sense of irony in the air!!

If your first point is that as a country we have always produced people capable of criminal behaviour.....then yes I agree!I don' t think you really addressed either of my points.
I have also known job shy, violent cretins all my life. They haven' t just appeared out of thin air.
They weren' t either of my original points, but i' m not one to drag these things out so I will move on.If your first point is that as a country we have always produced people capable of criminal behaviour.....then yes I agree!
If your second point is that at no point in our history have we have ever got our crime and punishment policy 100% right....then yes I agree again!
Most commentators agree that this was a rather an unprecedented bout of lawlessness, your point seems to be one of 'this is nothing we have`nt seen before`which in my opinion is just plain wrong and a tad complacent.
I guess the point here (which you`re missing btw) is that it does`nt take too many people to reduce our cities to anarchy and it does`nt take too many years of weak ass political leadership in order for our 'Boys in Blue' to adopt a watching brief on lawlessness and then try and expain it away as a legitmate 'tactic' during public order disturbances.. The vast majority of people in the UK do not support what happened and do know the difference between right and wrong. It is not the end of the world.
Actually, I totally agree with you about the point that it doesn' t take many people to reduce our cities ( any cities in fact, not just ours ) to anarchy ( even if that ' anarchy ' didn' t last long and was very localised ). It is positive testimony for our way of living that, while I still contend that the past week' s events are hardly unprecedented, these things don' t happen very often and most people in England can go through life without having to man the barricades against rioting hordes.I guess the point here (which you`re missing btw) is that it does`nt take too many people to reduce our cities to anarchy and it does`nt take too many years of weak ass political leadership in order for our 'Boys in Blue' to adopt a watching brief on lawlessness and then try and expain it away as a legitmate 'tactic' during public order disturbances.
Wholly elected state prosecutors and police chiefs would be a start, imo.
He is a self-aggrandising tw*t that likes to dress up a small relevant point in grandiose & incendiary prose.Quick question.
Do you think, as David Starkey remarked on Friday, that white kids are becoming black?
