General Chat

Well, being a glass half full sort of person and always trying to look on the bright side of life (oooh I can feel a Monty Python song coming on!), I really really hope that some good will come out of all this chaos.

It seems to me from the comments on this site and the phone calls on LBC radio that the silent majority are finally being listened to.

There are a lot of hardworking people who contribute to society and it is only right that those who are better off support those who are less fortunate. Trouble is, the benefits system and our nanny state has created a society where those who are hardworking are sometimes less well off than those receiving handouts.

If you look back through history, the pendulum has always swung from left to right and back again. Seems to me it's been stuck on the left side for too long and now, finally, it's moving again.

Funny isn't it that so many people are now calling out in very loud voices for things to change and yet not enough cared enough to do something about it 14 years ago.

I am steaming so am off up a tree.

Youth = we bloody deserve everything

Elderly = we are thankful for the little we get

More jobs will solve it eh? YOU BURNT DOWN BUSINESSES THAT EMPLOYED PEOPLE YOU MUPPET. :-(

Oh i don't think it's one thing to do with youth clubs mate...two blokes ON THEIR WAY HOME FROM THEIR YOUTH CLUB have just been sent to prison for 18 wks...much good it did them !!!

His Mum sent him to his room!

I am getting soooooo bloody angry. Thousands of us can't afford nice things!

They are just cowards in the cold light of day,,,,,,,I can steal,burn and harm as long as I can cover my face so the law wont reconise me,they aint got the bottle to show their mugs,,,,,,brave little souls.....

i think its funny the police kicking doors down
(let them see how it feels)
and recaliming the loot
i hope they get it all back but doubt it


and to the mother who dobbed her own child in
well done mrs
you did the right thing xx

If they had let him off the 1p or 5p then he wouldn't have targetted their shops...didn't seem to understand that the shop keeper was just trying to earn a living !!!!!!!! *what goes around comes around innit*

And in your case sunshine I really hope it does !!!

Himself is in the garden knocking up a gallows :-D

Proud of themselves aren't they !!!!!!

REALLY hope they get their doors knocked in tonight.

*&&^%$%

stealing is stealing in my book
lets hear why they did it

and try not to laugh :-D

pfffffffffffffft. Tissues my ****

fill in the blanks lol x

are the tissues to stuff in me mouth and stop me from giggling :-D

Sky News at 7.30 p.m. a 'Looters' special - the poor dears can explain what prompted them to smash, burn and steal.


Get your tissues ready :-( :-( :-( :-( :-(

Shouldn't laugh really BUT

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Serves them right !!!

What I am yet to see though are any apologies to the thousands of people affected in this disorder. The regret seems to have come from being caught and not for the harm they've caused.

Says it all !

I'm sorry if this has already been posted, but if not I think it is important that it is, if you follow me .

"Tormented for years by yobs - who finally took his life: Pensioner attacked by looters as he tried to put out fire dies in hospital" . May this gentleman now rest in peace.

Didnt know you could do that, greenfingers. Our MP is one of those who has spoken up but he is an exception and a young man I hope will go far.
There are no excuses that will wash, this is pure criminality and getting something for nothing,probably orchestrated by enemies of the state.
Most of us over 60 could give instances of real poverty and doing without, but we didnt steal and burn others property. How many of the rioters live with no mod cons and no food in the cupboard? I have gone throuigh that and so have many others. Clothes were what you could make out of old ones often.

Apparently there was one young Woman caught with a few thousand pounds worth of gear in her car.Her parents were (Reportedly Millionaires) takes all sorts,thank oodness they re now starting to dish out proper punishments.**M**.Ps. if they run out of prison spaces, they could always use the latest de commissioned Aircraft Carrier to put them in with a few really hardnut Military Police to care for them. :-D

In my paper today are listed some of the looters in court and they are all without exception either students (one was a law student) or have employment. Am glad to see police will be allowed to unmask those who seek to hide their identity.

It's frightening Karen that some young folk think they have no future at all and that the only way they can achieve something is by stealing!

In contrast,my grandson is travelling to Madrid today for World Youth Day (he 'walked' to get sponsorship for the trip).......and two million strong delegation of young people representing almost every country on Earth,some who have met during volunteering in troubled countries, are meeting together to exchange friendship.

There are,I believe, still more good people than bad.
