School holidays and no money. These events hint at the ability of schools and teachers given what could happen.
Surely it mostly reflects on their parents / guardians and the standards by which they choose to lead their lives.
Those guardians and parents send those self same children to schools, packed 30-35 to a room with one adult, usually the teacher, who has to make something worthwhile happen. It has always been the case (fertility issues notwithstanding) that any fool can have children. Including those rampaging children in the future. Or maybe the parents are not around to set standards because they are working all hours to try to pay the bills. Either way teachers are often unfairly criticised but I think they’re geniuses, not in their subjects necessarily, but in tackling one of the problems created by society.
I may be misreading your post.
Are you blaming teachers for the poor behaviour or not?
Or alternatively are you saying we need the positive influence of teachers all year round?
I am not blaming the teachers at all. Simply saying how impressive it is that they can single handedly control unruly children.
Isn’t the point that a class is not full of unruly children though?
The mass disobedience is effectively akin to a class of all the poorly behaved kids. Not sure many teachers cope with that.
Huh not much point in that. I assumed & call me naïve if you must but I assumed the illegal immigrants would be stuck on the boat a mile or two out at sea but no, they are free to come & go as they please & will be supplied with maps of the local area & given picnics to take as they stroll down the stairs to freedom.
They are asylum seekers not convicted criminals. Of course they should be allowed access to the local town.
Asylum seekers, they haven't been granted asylum. They should be held in secure units until it's established who they actually are. Oh but we can't do that as they've "lost" their passports/paperwork despite being able to get through passport control of many safe countries.
So we digress, like in the sick mind of the typical daily.mail reader from one news story to another, so all the problems seem like one and we can blame the immigrants. I blame the Corbyn government, bloody wokeys!!
Guys, keep it to what does or doesn't happen in Bexleyheath on Saturday please. The asylum seeker derail isn't helpful, and may mean we close the thread if it continues.
Where are there parents, why are they letting their kids out to do this
Thirdly
I feel sorry for the people working in these shops
Good point about the people working in the shops @paulie8290. My Mrs worked in bromley glades during a couple of theses incidents and she said it was very scary having to rush to lock the doors with youths trying to push their way in to the shop.
I think you’ll probably guess I’m definitely not part of the flog em and hang em brigade but these attacks on shops and businesses really needs to be nipped in the bud. When someone is caught perpetrating this crime they need to be dealt with by the courts really severely. No matter that it’s a first offence or that they’re fourteen. They need a custodial sentence. It won’t happen of course. My guess is that the attacks on the shops by marauding teenagers is a bit of a fad so will probably go away on its own but it’s horrific for shop workers and customers alike to be exposed to such terrible behaviour.
Yes, I see no reason why this government have stopped processing claimants and are more keen to house them indefinitely. Would save the UK a load of money
I don’t think the rampaging teenagers are people who arrived on the boats. Most likely to be born on these islands.
Yes, not seen any evidence to think the 2. I've not seen any intel on the breakdown of the profile of those involved. Although I have read it is mostly younger males
For those questioning the ethnicity of the majority of perpetrators, just watch the video again.
Of course they’re not ‘fresh of the boat’ immigrants but their parents or grandparents probably were. This country is become cesspit and will only get worse the more lax our border controls get.

But backing up TL comment with evidence - This has been going on for years and is not limited to just the firms in the news. I have been told so many times that this doesn't happen (by people who really don't know what goes on but are probably well-meaning but naive)
