The people of Clapham did not chose to go down the road that the vigilantes chose to in Southhall and SE London and instead took on their brooms and went down the high road (yesterday and today) to help clean up their own streets, the mood was of optimism and not despair. Londoners will not allow a small minority of idiots to destroy their communities.
Those responsible for the opportunistic violence and looting from Sunday night onwards are not making a political point. I do not consider smashing up a shop and walking away with a 52 in HD ready telly to be a political act. Attacking and stealing from a young guy in Barking who was injured makes those responsible for that crime criminal thugs, they should be punished for what they have done and by punishing them I don't mean give them a suspended sentecne and give them 12 red roses...
