On a slightly lighter note, the riots rather put our supposed social problems into perspective. One might say that DDC has been especially perspicacious in ensuring there is nothing much worth looting in the town centre
I remember during "summer riots 1.0" in 1981 a rumour sweeping the town that a busload of hoodlums were heading here to cause mayhem. They never arrived - perhaps they burned out their own bus en route?
The High Speed Train would presumably be the preferred option now, except they would probaby smash it to pieces before they got past Stratford...

Can someone perhaps interest the rioters in Tesco at Whitfield?

It was reported that two "youths" were arrested in Folkestone for trying to incite a riot through facebook and twitter.
Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong.

i think it was a male and a female both aged 18, probably never been away from their keyboards, looking for excitement.
probably frightened out of their life now.

No unrest on this forum, apart form a gentle riot which Howard swiftly quelled with rubber bullets of irony.

irony is indeed a great weapon andrew but these coves may beg to differ.
My irony for these guys would consist of the cricket bat I keep especially for such occasions.

Tesco have slammed the recent violent disorder that has raged around England by warning rioters that they will not relinquish their monopoly on destroying High Street shops without a fight.
"Making the area look ugly and striking fear into the hearts of local shopkeepers is something that we pride ourselves on," revealed a Tesco spokesperson.
