"@Jacob_Rees_Mogg
should people follow the advice of the police or should they use common sense and do whatever they think is right?"

Depends if the punks feel lucky. It would appear that one armed with a knife wasn't!

[retrocop]

No problem . Just another pop up on my screen. Appeared the same time as your post.

Scum everywhere. Just part and parcel of course.

Good action by plod though.

[TheDevil]

Not too many facts at the moment, Youngmafbog.

I've just heard about this on 'Talksport' as bad as it sounds... I'm not shocked by it, such is the state of things these days with the increasing number of idiots about.

[retrocop]

Bit early to speculate what has happened yet but if more facts become available and it is what I suspect it to be then I think it is high time the Met approached Mr Stormzy and requested he compose a useful public information song. It may prevent future misunderstandings resulting in riots and mayhem.

[ToraToraTora]

are we allowed to mention the elephant in the room yet?

[Mamyalynne]

As Stormzy has neen roped in why not bring your elephant...

too early to speculate, my eye - when did that stop any ***.

[THECORBYLOON]

Is it too much to wait for confirmation of what happened?

[237SJ]

Blimey, I was right there this time yesterday.

[retrocop]

TCL. Nope. That's why I will write no more until we get the facts.

[youngmafbog]

The problem is Retro with certain elephants a lot of the 'facts' will not be released.

I still say good job on plod for shutting the scum down.

[anneasquith]

Retrocop, you supplied a link. Then you make yourself look stupid by mentioning stormzy ( again ).

[retrocop]

I am very sorry Mamyalynne. I don't know what it is like in your cosy little shire but I'm afraid in the metropolis these incidents,as other Londoners will confirm, are happening virtually two a day. They are all too predictable.
