500 young people arrested and most will be charged, so that's another few hundred that will never be eligible for work due to their now forthcoming police record and will possibly for the rest of their life will be getting dhss handouts some of that coming from the people who's businesses they've destroyed, what scum these are
Perhaps if they took them out to Somalia and brought back an equal number of the poor starving people who are suffering genuine oppression they might realise that actually they are better off here than in any other country in the world. Meanwhile the starving refugees, suddenly dropped into the lives of these scumbags, would think they had landed in paradise.
Why not award them a multi-million pension - after all that's what the Bankers got for nearly destroying the country's economy and doing far far more damage financially that a few burnt buildings.
people need to stop kidding themselves and get those rose tinted specs off, they may well have been born here, but they will never ever be british, moreover they dont want to be
Madmaggot, not wishing to disillusion you but perhaps don't know that some younger somali people have become involved in gangs here in London, and the same goes for any number of asians, not all are from poor, deprived backgrounds either.
According to the news this morning, It's going to cost the country to the tune of tens of million and possibly more in insurance if the Gov declare a 'riot' officially to clean the areas up!
And there are do-gooder groups that are asking to put more investment into helping these poor children who have no opportunities and can't get into college because of rising fees and because the poor things are bored and have nothing to do!
Are they actually asking for my sympathy.... really??
Do they really think the thugs that set fire to those businesses are just upset because they can't get into college? Reality check please!
all those caught and go to court should be fined 3/4/5 k if they cannot pay because i reckon 75%of the scumballs are on the dole should have 10 or 20£ deducted from thier dole money before they get it they have got to be hit hard i love this country i was born and bred here always holiday here why should scum get away with this i feel disgusted and sick as a pig over this
Stop all benefits immediately and make them do unpaid community service, cleaning up the streets or cleaning public toilets, drains and sewers - that would teach them a lesson...........
since half the people arrested in London last night were under 18, and a ten and eleven year old were amongst them, they're certainly not on the dole. Youngsters jumping on the stupid bandwagon, it's appalling.
They are not wanted on a Scottish island, in the army or it would appear even Britain (England in this case) They have no pride nor respect in themselves or the society in which they live. Send them to the North Pole.
By all accounts from the Daily Express: "others appearing in court included a primary school teacher a charity worker and a lifeguard who burst into tears when he was sent to prison". Not all of them were jobless.
Yes I read that too "askyourgran" - some did indeed have jobs. Lets hope their employers take a very dim view of it and SACK them immediately (especially the primary school helper - what a role model!!!!)
