Here's the real reason: Lib Dem MP Stephen Williams blogs about the reasons for the violence: "Everyone wants to be rich and famous, without wanting to work hard to reach those otherwise acceptable ambitions. So I think the prime motivators behind the looting are greed and jealousy, rather than sorrow and anger. Basic human failings that have been around forever. Not contemporary political gripes but certainly contemporary social malaise."

God, The Guardian is spouting artcile after article of utter rubbish. These 'poor unfortunates' have had ?millions if not ?billions shoved at them over the decades.

Why aren't the police using water cannon or tear gas? This is ridiculous.

Well in that case, in the words of Edmund Blackadder, the phase I am looking for rhymes with 'clucking bell'.

Ah yes, Val's is good. The P Off next to Sainsbury's is horrible (well the people who work in there are IMHO) and really does p me right off.

"To the woman at the bus stop outside Nero's this morning, who rather unhelpfully started with the scare mongering stories about not being able to get home this evening - Just be quiet and go about your own business!" :)) It could be true. I fear it's going to be yet another nightmare journey getting home for huge numbers of people.

"do they realise the disruption this is causing?" Probably lovin' it.

Surely if every train is delayed by 30 minutes then they're all on time if you see what I mean...

Seems to be conflicting reports... Tarah's which says that there are severe delays and even that LB underground is closed(!) and others saying there's no problem at all! :-S

I live on Underhill near you and work near Moorgate. It normally takes me less than an hour door to door. There are several ways to get there: 1. Get to ED station and then get the train to LB and then walk/tube it in. 2. Get the P13 to either West Dulwich or Tulse Hill stations and get the train to City Thamslink/Farringdon and then the walk/tube from there. 3. Get the 363 from Underhill to Peckham Rye and then either the train to LB or to City Thamslink/Farringdon. The 'difficult' bit is getting to a station, which takes anything up to 25 minutes. After that it's easy.

Hi, Police camea knocking today. A woman was attacked, apparently in her car, on Underhill Road just by the junction with Belvoir Rd. Those are all the details I have - i hope the woman is OK. Cheers, Sherwick

Ponting looks like George W Bush.

Let's hope Ian Bell does a bit better at the Oval than he did in 2005 in the last Ashes test... 1st Innings: Warne to Bell, OUT IR Bell lbw b Warne 0 (9m 7b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00 2nd Innings: McGrath to Bell, OUT IR Bell c Warne b McGrath 0 (2m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Geez, Ian Bell is not only retained, but moved up to the critical number 3 position. Beggars belief.

Hi everyone! I just got back from holiday. Last time I checked we were 1-0 up in the Ashes and were cruising in the 3rd test. Has anything changed? :)

Tears of a Clown - The Beat (always thought that The Beat's version was better than Smokey's original! ::o)

Ta!

Hi all, my cousins are over from Sweden and would like to go to a good bar or pub on Lordship Lane tonight. Any recommendations please?!

Geez. Haddin's broken his finger warming up! Don't want to laugh, but... BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! :)-D (Hope the replacement isn't a new 'Gilly' though...)

I'm glad you called it the TOP end of Lordship Lane :)

Goochie and Tres were nowhere NEAR the class of KP over their careers! To suggest such a thing is preposterous! Forget First Class, what were their Test averages? (They are shown here by the way: http://stats.cricinfo.com/england/engine/records/batting/highest_career_batting_average.html?class=1;id=1;type=team I'll put it like this. Goochie took 215 innings to score 20 Test centuries. KP has *already* got 16 in 97 innings. The record in the history of English Test cricket is 22 held jointly by Hammond and Boycott. I've said it before and I'll say it again. TO suggest dropping EASILY our best batsman for the last 35 years is madness of the highest order!

watched it for the first time tonight on the recommendation of someone - best thing I've seen in years to be honest.
