Maybe now this will shake up all the namby pamby do gooders and they justice system, to stop giving people slaps on the wrists. Now if you get caught with a knife 5 years will mean 5 years, life will mean life. Don't have soft jails have hard labour, no TV's ps3 and everything else. Put them in chain gangs and make them rebuild the cities that they have destroyed.0

Hmmmm. Just found out that my local Tesco Metro and petrol station have both been looted, and the scumbags are also roaming around East Dulwich - utter travesty all this.
I am not a fan of Tesco and it's principles (like.... it doesn't really have any) but I do feel for their employees at times like this plus anything going down, Tesco always seems to be a target.
It's really odd that such a hated business takes more £££ from the general public that any other in the UK.0 -

I don't think it's quite that bad out here plus setting up 'chain gangs' would be very hard to organise on a practical level. Seriously, it would be almost impossible to set up.
Another set of people with dubious morals would probably be keen enough to police it voluntarily.
I really miss the roll eye smiley.0
