London riots: If you listen carefully
Comments

When I was a kid we had borstal and you were made to feel so frighten of ending up there you was too scared to get in trouble, now they have centres where the trouble kids are spoken to and have counselling or day trips to theme parks. also you were scared that if you did do anything wrong neighbours would tell your parents. Now no-one knows or speaks to their neighbours and if you did tell a parent you probably would get abuse from then.
Dont go into the greenhouse!! Eek too late.
That sort of thing?0 -
Well it happening in Manchester now, right where I was earlier in the day.
Cops will sort them, in fact they are policing London as well
Greater Manchester Police was today sending more than 100 riot cops to help out with the devastating riots in London.

A single market without barriers visible or invisible giving you direct and unhindered access to the purchasing power of over 300 million of the worlds wealthiest and most prosperous people' Margaret Thatcher0 -

Suddenly a 90 minute commute on the 07.13 doesnt seem like such a bad idea?......
One such [not quite so young] former colleague in the Isle of Dogs is thinking the same.... He's up working temporarily in Manchester while his terrified wife is bolted in her docklands apartment, and thinking of staying with us pro tem.....
Can anyone advise how much I'm looking at in Leafy Loughton? Only 45 minutes by Central Line.... Good schools..... Maybe a 15% increase in house price by Christmas? Anyone want to rent my garden cabin [I'll take out the lawnmower and put in a slop bucket...]?0 -
When looking at London properties on Rightmove, it is always interesting to look at the OFSTED report of the local primary school. Like it or not, "old" London has no future.It depends also whether you have or want to have children in the near future.
Some of my mates have been caught out and now can't sell.
They had a choice of 1 and 2 and chose 2 without looking at the schools in the area.
I did politely warn them.Been away for a while.0 -

We've chosen option 1. Bloomsbury. And don't regret it at all....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 -

.. well you wouldn't! Respectable place, and once home to a lot of intellectuals. There's Charles Dickens, Charles Darwin, JM Barrie, and the greatest intellectual of them all - Ricky Gervais.
I guess the only 'boil on the backside' is the unfortunate fact that it was also home, for 30 years to on John Maynard Keynes, about whom Time Magazine is quoted as saying "His radical idea that governments should spend money they don't have may have saved capitalism".
A trifle ironic wouldn't you say?0 -

Is there any evidence to suggest this or have you just made it up? I don't have an opinion either way but I would guess that three days is a little too soon to be making such bold claims.
I know, I'll move out to some leafy suburb like Enfield. Oh.
A close member of my family moved from Hampstead to Enfield last year to get away from problems which have been escalating for some years. Bad move, she was confronted by a mob when leaving her allotment on Sunday. She was fortunate, they were distracted by something more interesting to them than her carrier of veg for dinner. Sick little morons.0 -

'e don't live 'ere no more, though. So I ain't holding it against the place....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
