Robert Robinson RIP

Some of the older ABers may remember him. He hosted Round Britain Quiz on television and Brain of Britain on the radio.

What kind of justice is this?

A parent, probably the mother, of a youth convicted of rioting has been served with an eviction notice. Since when was the concept of collective punishment part of English law?...

Let them hate as long as they fear...

If society gives up on the young members of the underclass who have been rioting and looting how are they to be contained? Are the words of Lucius Accius as appropriate today as they were in his days?...

"I looted but on the way home I was robbed of my booty..."

What are the odds that we will hear that, or something similar, as mitigation when the trials start?

An opportunity missed?

If the looters and rioters arrested on the first day had been quickly tried and given exemplary sentences would the rioting have continued?

Anyone know if the deaths of 3 vigilantes in Birmingham were related to the riots?

Apparently, a hit and run driver has been arrested.

Is baseball a popular sport in London?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-14470017 With such an increase in sales why no mention of a similar increase in the sale of baseballs?...

Some of the first people accused of rioting are 'of previous good character'.

What's gone wrong with the political system that they feel they need to act in such a manner?

In France what do the Gendarmerie do when they're not dealing with rioters?

They can't spend their days kicking their heels in barracks waiting for the next riot to start?

Riots are a sign of a deep malaise in our society. What can be done to...

...alleviate the plight of inner city residents who feel the only way their voices will be heard is through violence and looting?

Before the riots did the inner city gangs call some sort of a truce...

...so that they could direct all their energies to arson and attacking the police?
