Quick question - supposing we arrest all the wrong doers. What then? Send them home? We don't have the prison space at the moment to be holding people.

Public floggings?

Stocks? Put em in and the local populance pelt them with rotten vegetables?

Well I'm in two extremes.

We either sort out the social problems that led to this or we fill the police water canons with sulphuric acid and spray em all.

I will opt for the former. Too many drawbacks with the acid route. Might just attract ravers, thinking that there was a rave somewhere with free Acid.

Better still make them listen to Des o'Connor records. I would suggest Jedward but they might like them, so hardly a deterrent.

I am willing to donate my Skinny Puppy CD collection to this cause. Even I can't listen to all of it.

Didn't we send then off last time into a desolate place?

I think this time airdrop them into the middle of the Sahara with no rations. Much more painful than acid or stocks.

Not Saint Cliff. Nooooo

Apparently rioters at a branch of Tesco had to disperse when they realised nobody had a pound for the trolley

Put them on the Moon mining dilithium or whatever rare minerals are there.

It’s not just feckless youths either. The BBC showed a school worker leaving court where he’d pleaded guilty to being involved. So, yesterday, he had a decent job, with career prospects in front of him. Today, he’ll have no job, and any career he had planned in education has gone. His eventual conviction will mean he’ll fail CRB checks. So for a night of plundering and pillaging, he’s wrecked his life. Idiot.

I jokingly asked the Pets at Home guy if the rioters have nicked the Guinea Pigs. He said back as serious as can be "no but I've moved them out the back just in case."

Police sorting out looters, video here.

Great Laurel and Hardy moment at 0:16 as chav meets cyclist.

A group of minstrels have been seen amongst the rioters wearing heraldic costume and playing medieval musical instruments. Police say they are trying to get the luting under control.
