Seafront/High Street tonight

[The Original Tribal Chief]

Maybe the 'police' could be as gung ho about these kind of vibrant gatherings as they are about a few lads wanting to show off their Capris.

Very true, very few said after the Manchester Airport fracas "behave and it wouldn't happen" etc, not politicos nor "society" leaders in Rochdale.
Khan has almost stopped Met Pol performing basic stop/search.
Transport Police have retreated to only doing armed security at central London terrorist target stations.
Essex Police have long been powder puff and lost the streets for pen pushing, number fixing, twitter feed nonsense over street work.

over 250 Armed officers quit the Met:-

Good haircuts men. Damn good haircuts.

Whilst stuck in the rush hour grief on the army and navy roundabout a lovely bloke in a van that had a reputable company name on the side was chanting Tommy Robinson very loudly at other drivers.

How shocking. On a par with stabbing up a few little kids I'd say.

But it's not just cultural, the whole of society has been reshaped and material conditions have got worse for young people in so many ways. There's a lot of evidence that millennials are the first generation to enter the workforce and not earn more than the generation before them, not to mention that so many are living with their parents well into their 20s and even 30s (like many of my friends) because previous generations have selfishly screwed up the housing market so much.

Material conditions have changed and as a 22 year old I'm currently paying through the nose to simply secure a roof over my head, but it's not leading me to riot, stab anyone or trash a high street.

Nothing is free or given to anyone, if people want something they have to go out and get it. Young people need to get out of this gutter mentality of not bothering, get a job or study towards something useful, aspire to be better than the material conditions around you.

Do you think there will be a seafood buffet on site?

 

[Dave Smiths Love Child]

Just came back from a run and went into Greggs Basildon for a coffee and couldn’t believe a youth just strolled in and took three bottles of the shelf and walked out
The women behind the counter went to chase him and two friends and I told her let them go not worth a stabbing or a beating as I suspect that would have done one or the other
No police about or anyone,me included having the bottle to tackle them so they get away with it
I’m afraid to say, it’s scary and the innocent kids will get caught up in it, wrong place wrong time
I would think their parents are no better and therefore get no guidance

Safety first D let the police do their job they get paid for, just not worth the risk for some poxy drinks, stay safe.

Ha, i'd be there if there was!. Yesterday's scenario was shocking to say the least & not fanning flames on the fire, but where were all the local 'scroats' defending their town ( i still can't call us a City! ).
What used to occur in the late 60's early 70's on a Bank Hol Monday, always saw locals from the surrounding area mob up, to confront the East Londoner's who ventured here to cause mayhem & try to take over the town.
But the scenario has obviously changed as we now find our town invaded during the Summer school holidays FFS!. So much for cameras at all stations & staff notifying stations further up the line of 100's spilling onto the platforms heading east?.
Fast forward 3 1/2 weeks when Daggers play here. Southend Central will be wrapped up with OB, & when they arrive they will be escorted to Roots Hall. So with the info that yesterday's 'invasion' was happening, why were OB caught on the hop & not at the station/s to turn them back when appearing?. No excuses, mega failure?.

I really feel for young people who shouldn’t have to be grafting full time just to survive.

That said and without any side at all the biggest grafters I have observed are recent immigrants and good luck to them.

I think a lot of people in their forties and fifties forget the opportunities that were available to them and are not available to the young today.

I've just entered the fifth year of my PhD, but that doesn't change the reality around me!

No one is asking for anything for free. The only point being made is that achieving the same things is getting harder and harder.

All respect to you, you're doing something to better yourself and achieve.

Don't think the same can be said of the wonderful individuals who graced Southend with their presence the other night.

Suppose all I'm saying is those who make no effort to better their situation don't really deserve the right to complain.

There was a black woman recently on TV that explained the situation with these gang youths. She was open and honest, and she blamed the fathers, as she said most of these youths haven't got a father figure as they nearly all live with their mum growing up. While the dads go around to different women, but can't live with them. She also said these gang youths don't want to work, and would much rather get money by robbing and drug dealing. She said the gang becomes their family. She said nearly every gang member she has spoke to, have never had a job since leaving school. She said it's been going on since the 70s, and doesn't look like changing. She was something to do with helping youths out of gangs in London.

Though I would not argue on the missing father issue being a major point, it’s the lack of respect for anyone whether a shop keeper, a home owner or police and I’m afraid that’s doesn’t cost anything especially if a single mum
Glorifying the Krays, Richardson etc doesn’t help much and make them think violence and intimidation gets you riches rather than a hard days graft x
