Monkeylord said:Can't really as they're all gone now... but both me and our cost auditor (who by definition is reasonably good with numbers) both came to the same count.
I'm confident I reported accurately, and we have a good view as we're 3 stories up directly above Tottenham Court Road station with a view along Oxfords St, at the corner of Tottenham Court Road and 3 sides of Centerpoint including the diversion at the top of Charing Cross Road from across the site (we're upgrading TCR tube station).
This is definitely accurate.

Anyway, Tottenham Court Road has been busy with police vans the last couple of days but that convey sounds like something else.
Monkeylord said:Aaaaaaand... 5 more riot wagons and 6 regular white paddy wagons have just gone past the same way with a further 5 Riot Wagons diverting the opposite way along New Oxford St, so that's now a total of:
25 Grey/Dark Blue(Met) Riot Wagons
6 Paddy's
1 Undercover
1 Armoured JCB Forklift
WTF!?!!

Deku said:There were also ethnic mongolian riots earlier this year.
Protests are quite common there but often under reported and if reported only in fragments with little follow up because of state censorship.

I think those videos should be shown to fortified_concept, Clockwork Orange style.Murkas said:They should be on a Jeremy Kyle show calendar :/
Monkeylord said:That's right. The building next to the current Oxford Street entrance (opposite the Cornish Pasty shop) is our site offices. I'm in a one of the portacabins bolted onto the side of that building directly above where the station building was.
I keep hearing more get closer, but they're obviously going a different route as they don't get within sight before they start fading into the distance.
Lots of activity though.

I'm only a block away and I can't hear anything TBH. But then I'm not on the main road.

Any update on North London?
That is interesting, 60% is quite a good for a state school especially as almost half of the students were on free school meals. My school was around 30% and fights were quite common, mostly between the Asians and whites from the estates.Meadows said:60% when I finished High School in 2007
(It's Culcheth High School if you wanna look up the location btw, most of the kids came from Cadishead/Culcheth/Irlam/Birchwood, about 40% were on free school meals)

4.14pm: The Wandsworth Guardian is reporting what it says may be the first eviction notice served on a council tenant connected with the riots.
A council tenant whose son has appeared in court charged in connection with the Battersea riots has today been served with an eviction notice.
The tenant is believed to be the first in the country to now be facing the prospect of losing their council-owned home as a result of Monday night's rioting and looting in St John's Road and Lavender Hill.
The process will see Wandsworth Council apply through the courts for the eviction to be granted - with the ultimate decision resting with a judge.
Interesting. Re-housed or homeless, I wonder?Osiris said:Actions have consequences

Gee, I wonder what the consequences of such a policy will be.
To be fair I believe they rioted and looted under the premise they had nothing to lose because the state wouldnt consider taking their free housing away.Dambrosi said:Hmm. So, gone from having something to lose to having nothing to lose.

(Yes, yes, I know, he should have thought about that when he was looting, bleeding-heart liberal, kill them all and let God sort them out, etc.)

iapetus said:This is also why the death penalty should be randomly applied across the population to discourage murder.
Not to worry, I'm sure making them homeless will ensure they'll end up doing something in the mean time which definitely will be considered justification for the eviction.zomgbbqftw said:If an evicted person or persons were found innocent it would be pretty simple to rehouse them and compensate them for their loss.
zomgbbqftw said:The difference between using capital punishment is that the final nature of it. There is no way to bring someone back from the dead if it turns out they were innocent. It's the reason I don't support it.

CitizenCope said:I'd like to know this also. It's all about stock mania here in the states.
Many tentants sign acceptible behaviour agreements (specifically covering the behaviour of their children too) when they take on their housing contract. This will likely just be a case of them breaching that particular agreement.iapetus said:You're missing the point - we're talking about people who weren't involved in rioting who also lose their housing in these cases.

DisgustingComments on the Guizhou riots were blocked on popular Chinese microblogging website Weibo on Friday.
I've given it some thought, taking into consideration radioheadrule83's post above, and here's what I came up with:Deku said:To be fair I believe they rioted and looted under the premise they had nothing to lose because the state wouldnt consider taking their free housing away.
Now they do have something to lose and lost it. I suspect this is largely symbolic. To change expectations.
Im also not in favour of such draconian measures apploied en masse, as it dehumanizes criminals.
That said, Id gladly hear what you would like to be done to criminals who are living on the states dime.

Until these lazy layouts prove they've been looking for work / training daily to no avail they'll get no sympathy from me. They might as well be clogging the gutter up, as there's plenty who deserve their house over them.

Please tell me if you find anything wrong or bad in my proposals, I didn't really think about them for too long.
- Forced full-time education in lieu of benefits for ALL convicted offenders, regardless of age, instead of imprisonment. The goal is to prevent "prison rot" and save the taxpayer money
- When they're not in school, force them to do indefinite community service for the duration of the sentence (ie, if the sentence is three years forced ed, have them also do CS for those three years). The goal is to keep them too busy/tired to re-offend
- Dress them in special, easily recognisable uniforms while engaged in forced ed and CS. Humiliation works wonders as a deterrent, as someone else in this very thread already noted
- At the end of their sentence, give them all the help they need to reintegrate into normal society (both monetary and infrastructure-wise)
