    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!

    Channel 4 Midlands correspondent Darshna Soni on Twitter:

    Things are kicking of in Handsworth, a car has been set alight and there's a stand off between police and around 50 local youths #Birmingham

    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.

    becoming increasingly white it seems to me.. majority now maybe? only Asian involvement I saw was the only ethnicity that had the balls to stand up to em??

    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

    I'm in Ealing, people have been walking past my flat with so much stuff they can't carry it, huge flat screen tvs etc. This has been going on for 3 hours and I haven't seen a single police officer or car. my 999 cals weren't answered either!

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