I haven't had time to catch up on the last few pages of this thread so apologise if this has been covered. I really believe this is David Cameron's 'Falklands' moment. Decisive action now and he has the chance to be a hero, failure to do so and the riots continue/worsen and he'll pay the price.

I may be wrong by the likes of Shami Chakrabarti have been prety quiet lately.

I wonder if they're too busy boarding up their nice homes in their nice streets. I wonder if they're starting to feel rather uneasy about all the civil liberties these **** are taking advantage of. I wonder if they're proud of the weak and ineffectual policing we've been left with as a result of the constant barrage of complaints and legal actions they've generated against the authorities in their single-minded and naive pursuit of 'freedom'.

Now their fashionable watering holes, eateries, shops, offices and even homes are being looted and burned I wonder if they'll be quite so forgiving of those who're responsible and quite so ready to jump to their defence? Now the quaint and affluent streets of London are under threat, I wonder if the left leaning, namby-pamby lawyers, judges, politicians, journalists, activists and other apologists who live in them are focussing their minds on what they've allowed to happen and the vigilantism that is inevitably starting to surface?

I wonder how loud Ms Chakrabati will be shouting if her home is looted/burned and/or her loved ones attacked? Let's hope the police make a good job of protecting her and all the others like her......

As for police tactics. The gloves need to come off ASAP. Their obvious impotence in the face of the mob is inciting more wrongdoing and encouraging more youths to get involved, secure in the knowledge that they can do what they want right in front of the police and nothing is done. IMHO snatch squads and the like need to immediately take out the small groups and masked ringleaders BEFORE they gel into a mob. These people are coming from all over London and police indecisiveness is allowing them to come together and a pack mentality to form. It's like a series of small fires which turn into a huge forest fire unless they're rapidly extinguished. The police also need to consider those areas which may well be being left with little or no police cover.
