The people above aren't rioters. They were the locals in Dalston out in force to defend it.

Whilst I sympathise with your emotion, do you ever think before you type?

The 52k officers cover a 24x7x365 shift system, which is usually 4 shifts and day staff - this roughly equates to 11.5k police officers per shift, with approx 15% on holiday/sick at one time, leaving approx 10k per shift, which over 32 London boroughs means around 300 officers per shift per borough.

I am sure they will be calling people in, with extra overtime and double shifts, but these things take time to organise.

Ahem of the 52k staff only 32,500 are cops so even less per shift. Unless you want to kit out PCSOs and traffic wardens in public order gear.

From my understanding ALL leave, days off and training is now cancelled with officers on 12-18 hour shifts. Mutual aid from all over is being called in as well.

From what I read last night. Alot of shop owners in Handsworth was defending their shops

12 years of Labour, fawning to the UK underclass, making them all believe it is their right to have something for nothing, comes back to bite the nation in the ass

Theresa May is a fool and her favourite word is consequences.

What is Cameron going to do. is he going to look all serious and use the consequences word too?
(or I want to give a clear message to all those people involved, you have control and we will never be able to take it back now)

is it true that he said that if rioters hit the streets of London it would be time to step down?

re: England Riots August 2011 (Was London Riots)
 

Because there were no riots under former Conservative governments?

re: England Riots August 2011 (Was London Riots)
 

Yes there were, what's your point?

Not even you can blame the Tories for this, though I'm sure they'll try

Here's a map link showing all the events in London..

Reading the descriptions you can see that there's also a major criminal element who are using the riots for targetting high value goods (computers/alcohol..etc..

re: England Riots August 2011 (Was London Riots)
 

I am not blaming the Tories, I am not playing Labour either. I think these people are looting and burning because they can and they think they will get away with it.

re: England Riots August 2011 (Was London Riots)
 

Good people of London, it's time to take your city back tonight. The police have proven that they can't or won't take action (not a criticism of front line officers who dare not baton anyone for fear of their jobs) and this government won't have the balls to deploy the military (the LA riots only ended once the military was deployed.)

I wonder if Thersea may thinks its so ridiculous now.

re: England Riots August 2011 (Was London Riots)
 

Theresa herself is ridiculous. she has show when it comes to the crunch that she can't cope. she will resign. I bet money on it.

infact all involved have let havoc run for over 3 days not knowing what to do. it has been a test and they have all failed.

who was that black bloke on Sky news just talking a lot of sense?

re: England Riots August 2011 (Was London Riots)
 

So,how many billions did Labour pump into these 'deprived' areas?? The only deprivation seems to be of the moral kind.
