"Reports are in showing very disturbing footage of youngsters battling with machetes and swords in Southend, which is a place by the seaside in Essex where people go who can’t afford to go to Marbs. Is this the state of our younger generation now? Are we destined to a future of riots and murderous rampages by thugs, while the police stand and watch? This is all over the news…." excellent Tom tone 👌🏼 I'm gonna refrain from sarcastic comments linking to Southport. | |||

Do you know the ethos of the schools these kids went to? Wjat their backgrounds or home life is like? How capitalism affects them and their environment growing up? Or do we just not like snowflakes and will link thos to any bad event that happens | |||

"Who could have thought that the rise in popularity of a music genre that promotes criminal behaviour and gang culture could cause a problem? "Yeah. Music is really the issue. It's shite parenting and getting everything handed to them. Also a lot of people have moved here from warzones and should not be living in society until they've become demilitarised. | |||

" what I meant was, it might bring a bit of obedience and respect to themselves when they’re made to do something or their laptop in the MP prisons, they would not like the army which is why I think they should be punished and put in there Putting them in a normal prison, they may as well be at home in their own bedroom with their PlayStation and TVs, prison isn’t punishment unless they get wound up in gangs inside there | |||

Mindless violence by any faction is just that, mindless violence."I dunno, I could understand a riot if some major miscarriage of justice happened and there was evidence of the State being complicit/covering up or if me fighting back in some way protected my family from aggression. But almost never can such violence be justified, no. I wanted to make clear that this was a pre planned riot and did not represent the community it happened in. It was rent-a-mob. | |||

"I think they should be forced into the army, or navy, plenty of good soldiers dying for nothing where those hoodlums should be put out into the warzone and see how brave they are then. Look at the SAS for example, a class unit made of renegades and it brought them back into shape Really? Why would the forces want to waste time and resources on people who don’t want to be there." Maybe not the real army as such, I mean some kind of an army for convicts, where there made to do what they told or they spend their whole time in solitary, they just have it too easy, really for criminals, in some cases it’s not punishment it’s a home | |||

All those military massacres in Iraq, Afghanistan, but never mind at least the criminals are off our streets.

As someone with no children and no dog in the fight - no it isn't. There's always been division in every society to ever exist. It's made worse by those who set to profit from creating these rifts in society. Probably the kind of person you vote for. It's all very simple - make the peasants fight each other while you rob them blind. A tale as old as time. | |||

What with societal change taking us out of the Dickensian era, the law of the land dealing with Teddy Boys, and Mods and Rockers, the tradition of fighting in the street with knives may have been lost forever, but - phew, we were able to import it to keep the old ways alive. It's so lovely, and I'm sure, a socialist's wet dream, to see immigrants adhering to good old British traditions. I wonder if they'll be taking part in the The Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling event, or joining a happy band of Morris dancers? | |||

Don’t let facts get in the way of the fairy story…. This data is just for London. Gov UK website has more data about the whole UK. 2022/23 12,786 2021/22 11,122 2020/21 10,150 2019/20 15,928 2018/19 14,902 2017/18 14,731 2016/17 12,077 2015/16 9,752" So, it was steadily rising until covid/lockdown periods and has been increasing again ever since. Not good stats. | |||

"I can smell every reform voter here foaming from the mouth without even considering that this has been going on for decades - probably their youth (with mods and rockers at the least). And before then it was happening in dickensian London, think Oliver Twist. there's a history of this sort of thing stretching back centuries. But some people have a habit of seeing the past through rose tinted spectacles. It's a human, but rather foolish way to misunderstand a situation.

Not good stats." In fact, when you look at these sats and the rate of increase pre-covid, a fairly accurate estimate at the figures of 2024 would be projected at around 18500. Double than only 9 years previously. That really isn't good. | |||

There are stats going back further and for wider areas of the UK than just London. I'm not disagreeing that knife crime has increased in recent years but it's also peaked higher before now and may have been higher at other points in the past. I don't know because I've not looked at the stats. Nowadays, it can seem like something is happening with greater frequency due to the 24/7 instant news and social media sharing and so it has greater visibility. | |||

"I'm assuming all the Teddy boy knifings in the 50s were committed by the evil immigrants too? There has always been a violent section of society. The reason we see more these days from non-whites than we used to is because there are more non-whites than there used to be. Not because non-whites are more violent than whites. People seem to conveniently forget that the past wasn't all rainbows and sprinkles. It's ridiculous for posters to tell us to remove our rose tinted specs, only to discount the entire IRA bombing history when discussing terrorism in the UK earlier, for example. Too many people have this unrealistic view of the past. Things what happens when people want to erase inconvenient truths from history - as is the current woke trend. We can’t learn from mistakes if we brush them under the social carpet. Sl8v3ry, wars, racism, murderers etc. K (as an example, I had to alter one word!! )
I'm sorry the current woke trend?
I know British people who went ti school in the 80s and 90s who where bearly thought any history about the British presence on the Island of Ireland.
Not learning about and from the past isn't a new woke trend.
"Cancellation and deletion, however, is. K | |||

"If the police are met by rioters then let them use as much force as they need with the full back of the courts stop blaming them for being soft if they retaliate then thre too heavy headed they cannot win" And then everyone on social media goes nuts. Every fucker and their granny carrys a camera phone camera so the police are scrutinized in minute detail for every action. I wouldn't be a police officer in this current climate for even 50k a year. | |||

"Music influences people in many different ways. Some makes them happy and invigorated. Some calm and at peace and some aggressive and may other feelings too. At no point in any past music have we had such aggressive lyrics and "movement". Im sure some scientists will be along soon to deny any link between music and behaviour and some will be along to form that link. Common sense does not seem to exist any more until we are told what we can see by some reliable source. Whatever happened in the past, it can not be denied that there is a very high knife crime now. It seems to be that some people either deny this is the case or that it happened also in the past so it should be acceptable now. To fix a problem you have to first see the problem. " I agree you have to identify a problem to fix it... Focusing on a type of music, which I would argue is a very very small % of the overall attitude and behaviour of any one individual, is not in my option a very efficient way of identifying the overall problem. Something is going very very wrong in our current society but I would point to the factors like minimum wages being below reasonable living wage, the gap between the 1% and the rest growing ever wider, the rise of social media, the lack of strong moral leaders in the countries that used to be beacons of justice (this one is arguable and is probably more to do with the veil being lifted) among many others, as much much greater factors than the music someone listens to. | |||

Is this the state of our younger generation now? Are we destined to a future of riots and murderous rampages by thugs, while the police stand and watch? This is all over the news….This is what comes from not smacking your children when they are out of order and giving them a smiley face sticker . Is it, though?" Oh yes no discipline kids are rude to adults ,no sense of respect for others or themselves that's how it starts ,I saw a picture on the front page of the news these people actually caught the train to take part ,they all looked violent, they had hard faces and clenched fists some even wore masks and hoodies ,the ring leaders mind didn't wear masks ,destined for another visit behind bars .Career thugs .You are the product of your upbringing. Trouble with today we all have to zip it ,be politically correct but respect is an important discipline and very much overlooked in today's society ,many of us are I give respect where respect is due . | |||

Yep agree with all of that. It is multi faceted and complex. It's not possible to address all and quickly. But unless a start is made it won't change. Add to this the apparent increase in aggressive attitudes of young men toward women... And casual violence | |||
