Makes me laugh when people are saying "it's 'appening cos of the cuts innit". It's a disgrace and it is happening because of criminality, nothing else.
Make up big NEON signs that say:
LOOTERS WILL BE SHOT
Then deploy the Army on the streets, armed of course with high calibre weapons, ready to take aim at all the scum who smash up shops and steal. If you loot and get shot, you were warned. (innit
