Tottenham Riots spread across London/England

[#1]

The carnival has always been heavily policed and I once drove through Notting Hill the morning after the event and the amount of rubbish was amazing.

I saw some of the rubbish you refer to on the TV.  All credit to the local council, Kensington I think, they did an excellent job of clearing up after Carnival.

The Met Police announced that their cost for the riots is a staggering £34M.  This figure does not include the costs from other forces that sent Police to assist the Met.

Yes, during the 80's I was a service engineer and, that corner of west London was my "patch" (W6, W8, W10, W1, W2 and some of the adjacent NW's) the Tuesday morning after Carnival driving around there at 7 O'clock in the morning you would never have known anything had occurred during the few days before.
Unsung hero's

They need the type of glass sold by these people:http://www.esgsecurityglass.co.uk/ Will it not be a good idea to use toughened glass so to not injure people simalar to what Glasgow done recently.

Ken Clarke: "3/4 of those charged following the riots already have a criminal record".
Surprised?  I don't think so.

It shows our justice system is weak and needs to be strengthened.  Prison must be somewhere no criminal wants to return to.

I suspect that people on community payback do more labour than prisoners. If that's the case it is wrong! Prisoners should spend their days paying back the community in some way AND have the loss of freedom at night.
