I was 5ish when they where going on, I just remember police fires and people throwing stuff on the news
Was that over maggies cuts???
Yes these are mindless thieves out to get what they can and not give a t^^s
No, 'Maggie's cuts' were the excuse. Just as 'Tory coots' are the excuse today. I forget what the excuse was for Bradford's race riots in 2001 - when that 'nice Labour Party under Tony Blair' was in power.0 -

Make parents more responsible for their kids! Education starts at home. My mum made me stay and home and study, no way I could just go off!
Lots of parents these days try and reason with their children, children have no idea, they just need to be told and taught!0 -

Ironically, I'm talking about animal training on another thread. Its simple...you make the right choice easier to make than the wrong choice. Positive reward is an incredibly powerful tool, but you have to start from a place they are motivated to engage. If the facility exists for them to get no substantial benefit in not making ''the right choice'' why take it?
The other problem here is, the complexity of a society...we NEED to have palateable, sfae and stigmaless social provision for those who need it, and who wants to live in a heartless country.0 -
sorry, a bit of light relief

I agree,....but we have parents incapable of this now, having themselves not had the motivation or the want.0 -
OMG I feel so sorry for our police force
Sky talking about Ealing now! Apparently the Ealing rioters thought they were having lots of "fun"0 -
To all the parents out there, where are you kids.0

You know how, whenever there's a fire / flood / other disaster, politicians and royals pop up to visit?
If I were in a hospital bed recovering from such a disaster, the last thing I'd want is some idiot cluttering the place up (-:...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
