Yes, and what is your point?

No, I live in my community, this includes the people I see day to day, share local area and services with, organise projects with, local shop keepers also etc. That is my immediate community. There is of course a wider community, which extends across the Borough and all of London. People I have links with, friends, colleagues, family, associates and others that I share experiences and interests with.
As I suspected you haven't got a point or a clue. You are trying hard to make a non-point, sniping, childish and pathetic. Leave me alone now please unless you have anything constructive to discuss.

You're right - hadn't noticed the Brown Eagle, though looks very like Eltham Hill otherwise. And not unrepresentative of the bods who were out there.

One on one? You're crazy.
just had a thought - the looters were looting newsagents and that - I'm assuming they would have grabbed Lottery scratch cards along with the fags and booze - if they were to win on those cards - and went to claim - would the lottery people know that they had been looted? and could they be nabbed for it then, and ....would they get the prize money?

The following psytrance is baṉned: All
Each retailer is registered and the serial nos. of their batches of scratchcards are noted. If those batches are reported stolen, then the cards become void.

I just thought of it as a way of catching the looters - they probably don't realise the cards are voided - and would try and claim the moneybad luck Marty

I don't think they can pinpoint which cards are in which stores: they can't here, at any rate. When a winning ticket goes unclaimed, they can tell which city it was sold in, but that's it.

anyone else struggling to believe that the whole political establishment are in shock over this? Wasn't exactly difficult to see coming after cutting social services, youth services, policing, while real wages drop, employment stagnates and inflation rises, was it?

If I did believe them I would be even more concerned than I already am....They are supposed to be the 'educated' ones after all.

Is it better that they're lying or that they're genuinely that ignorant of what's going on out there?

I don't think that's it. Or more fair to say that's not all of it.

I didn't say I thought that was all of it. Just that if you didn't have a reasonable expectation of social unrest this summer, you weren't paying attention.

I don't think they're in shock so much as panic.
They're shitting themselves at the idea that the electorate will start making a connection between 30 years of neo-liberal policies and the mob of feral youth currently burning people's cars and pissing through their letterboxes.
The problem is they can't think of anything to do about it besides loudly conflating 'explain' with 'excuse' and screaming like angry gibbons to shout down anyone talking about causes.

I mean you got people like Diane Abbott on the news saying "I've been at MP here for 25 years ..." and you're thinking, "and it's still like this, bang up job you've done, eh?"
Lo Siento.
Second As Farce
they needn't worry, I've not heard many making the connection. More calling for the army.

I mean, we're stuck on a ridiculous narrative at the moment - that all of this is just bad men/kids running rampage, and when it's all over we can return to our nice little tranquil lives, safe in an ordered society. Everything will be fine if all the nice people come and sweep up after. It's a dream world cause if we keep heading in the same direction this is the future.

Yep, but all the more reason to try to win the battle of ideas over this.
