I like the angle :) ]]> Wed, 10 Aug 2011 08:59:59 -0500 3603-1030 http://www.planetmona.com/opinions-on-planetmona/52-social/3603-no-excuses-the-playstation-revolutionaries Let me say from here in South London that an extra 10,000 police officers were on the streets of the capital last night (bringing the total to 16,000). London was quiet. I hope you noticed the difference in Hackney. Copycat disorder broke out across many cities in the UK caused mainly by youths out to get what they can. This had no bearing on the original problem here in London. From what I can see the problem is the government here. The lack of legals powers over the young and the general feeling in the community about politicians who stole our money over their greedy expenses. But at the end of the day its the majority thats taken back control of our streets. I just hope the message is getting through to the here today gone tomorrow politicians in Westminster. Today is another day and tonight will be another night. We are a nanny state gone mad. Kids as young as 8 years old have been involved in looting here in South London. But you can't do a thing. Under British law parents and elders are powerless. In many countries parents, the police and adults have the power to thrash youngsters. When I was young that threat was always there and I am still alive to tell the tale. ]]> Wed, 10 Aug 2011 08:55:36 -0500
