Gangs of youths ran riot in one of London’s most well-to-do areas for a second night on Tuesday.
Scores of teenagers forced branches of Marks & Spencer, Sainsbury’s and Boots to close in Clapham, south London.
Police made two arrests and dozens of officers were sent to the scene in an attempt to quell the anti-social behaviour.
But the youths refused to obey orders to disperse and faced off against police.
The scenes are the latest in a trend in which large groups of teenagers run riot through shops and high streets.




A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said the force was still on the scene of the “ongoing” disorder and that two girls had been arrested on suspicion of assaulting a member of the emergency services.
“Police are responding to an ongoing incident on Clapham High Street following reports of a large crowd of young people causing anti-social behaviour,” the spokesman said. “Officers are on the scene, and a dispersal order has been put in place, meaning anyone congregating must leave the area.”
“At this time two teenage girls have been arrested on suspicion of assaulting an emergency worker. They have been taken to custody. Officers will remain in the area to offer support and respond to any concerns from local residents and businesses.”
The chaos came just two days after up to 100 teenagers overwhelmed Marks & Spencer’s branch on Clapham High Street, with police struggling to contain the disorder.
Officers in uniform can be seen on video trying to quell the disorder in the frozen food aisle.
The Metropolitan Police said two 16-year-old girls and a 15-year-old girl were arrested for shoplifting and assault.
Laila Cunningham, the Reform UK candidate for Mayor of London, told The Telegraph: “When groups of teenagers feel confident enough to rampage through shopping areas, target businesses, and film it for social media, that tells you something fundamental has shifted.
“The fear of consequences has gone. This is what lawless London looks like. The truth is the public has already lost confidence.”


Susan Hall, the leader of the London Conservatives, told The Telegraph: “As every month goes by we see increasing bad behaviour, from blatant shoplifting to the rampaging through shopping areas in London.
“It appears to be because all these hooligans know they can get away with it. Until we have a police force that is given proper resources with many more officers, not less as we are now witnessing in the Met, we can expect lawlessness to increase.
“Sadiq Khan should stop spending money on ‘nice to haves’ and start concentrating his enormous budget on keeping Londoners safe.”
Last month, footage showed hooded teenagers running through the streets of Wolverhampton, hurling eggs at buses and pedestrians.
In London last month, hundreds of teenagers descended on a streetwear pop-up shop in Soho, which resulted in scuffles with police.

Calls for birching, Woggle toggle bob a job and deportations, pillories and stocks sure to follow.

From a young friend aged 24 and white who lives innearby Stocwell Portuguese ghetto there are many parts of London he fers to tread he is taller than me 6 foot 3 stocky and fit built like me a front row forward in my prime but of course sporting a 2000 quid iPhine is invitation to mugging and his lovely squueze must be his first thought.I have his permission topost this . If fit lad like this who I have known all his life sensibe non drug user frst class degree job ect fears to wlak freely where he lives imagine how it is for the old frail or female in a part of London where teh cops are sometimes the sex predators. I loved London when young these days its in and out as quickly as possible no phne in hand as the scooter or bike gangs will strip you if you resist , I dress scruffy but stay in Safe areas like Kingston but even there there is an edge I seldom recall in some of the tougher cities like Glasgow Belfast or Liverpool. Of course maybe lack of cops but whole city monitored by CCTV , I think teh white flight has meanyt like Detroit the middle classes have given up on some areas of London.
In contrast some cities have been imprived Birmingham Manchester Newcastle and Bristil look better cleaner than when I was young.

Be interested to hear form thise in or who visit UK like Hal Chitty Somon, is it my paranoia as old and slower to dodge the footpads, I take cabs Airport to Hotel but would like to be free to walk to a nearby shop, pharmacy,pub or restaurant and not have to leave my phones/tablet with passport in hotel safe?

As a regular visit to Prague Madrid Bilbao Copenhagen I have never flet unsafe , Malmo not so much the frills and graffiti of Paris are similar to London , the 007 St Germain des Pres enclave where I stay is safer but the Metro a zoo where I was robbed during Rugby world cup, as I wa son teh London tube, not pickpockets face to face in both city pairs of large lairy Black Men! To be equal opportinity I was robbed bya crafy Vietnamese couple in Khe San area too.

I fear you are right, with higher prices of everything arriving by road sea or air, barely a roomful of hippy souls live 100% off grid in Findhorn Scottish Isle or possibly Mid Wales.

The young are stuffed by student loans expensive rents , fun rationed the era of 6 pints a bag of weed, a tab an extra bonus shag on way home along the Trent and Mersey towpath , fish and chip supper and change from a fiver are sweet memories.

I noticed some of our colonial cousins in the video have adapted to chav feral culture that always existed skin heads bovver boys football hooligans etc

Perhaps tax dodge Angie will rescue Blighty not........

Even if stops today the costs of this war will be seen in inflation higher fuel mortgages and hence rents wit stagmant growth and pay rises ther emay be trouble ahead.

I imagine Yaxly Lemon and Fartrage will be preaching compromise brotherly love, and inter faith soldarity and Christian charity like their mates on GB (Goebbels Broadcasting ).

Even moderate conservatibe Andrew Neil couldn't stomach it says Wiki

It's basically Trump Tv Fox-lite for the swelling ranks of young embittered UK morons

GB News is a British free-to-aireditorial television and radio news channel. Announced in September 2020 and launched in June 2021 from studios at Paddington Basin, London, GB News became Britain's first television news start-up since the launch of Sky News in 1989. It was set up with the aim of broadcasting "original news, opinion and debate", with a mix of news coverage and opinion-based content.

Hosts of shows on the channel include Nigel Farage, Eamonn Holmes, Michael 'Choo Choo" Portillo, Jacob Rees-Mogg, Andrew Pierce and DT's strict madam Camilla Tominey.


GB News is jointly owned by hedge fund manager Sir Paul Marshall and Dubai-based investment firm Legatum, under the umbrella of a holding company, All Perspectives Ltd, which is headquartered in London. As of August 2022, All Perspectives Ltd was controlled by three significant shareholders, all of whom work for Christopher Chandler's Legatum.

The CEO of GB News is Angelos Frangopoulos,who formerly ran Sky News Australia. The journalist and broadcaster Andrew Neil, who left the BBC in 2020 to join the channel, became its first chairman and presented a primetime evening programme. He left in September 2021, two weeks after the official launch, having presented only nine episodes

the UK will explode.

I dare say they won't be the only one.

Billions of peasants around the world driven to extremes, or walked to, because the price of gas is too high and their families cannot afford to live anymore.

US waltzes out of NATO, slamming doors as it goes, gown twirling.

Qatar and Saudi Arabia jointly share the World Cup after the final ends 0-0, Trump and Infantino decide on Peace Prizes instead of penalties.


Give me the blue pill that goes back to 2006 please.

You've been hoping for it for years.

All that ends up happening is a few pizzed up racist spamheads getting shouty.

^

Have you seen the CCTV footage of the mob in M and S.

Maybe the cameras contrast setting needs some adjustment, because it was hard to spot one white face among the mob.

We certainly need more diversity in Londons criminal community cyrille, I'm sure you agree.

Many folks in many countries appear to be getting angrier and more disillusioned each year.

On this we may agree!

Perhaps we have too many people expecting too many resources, our grandparents mainly worked ate local, different but probably more wholesome natural food, people had vegetable gardens and little processed diet, has perhaps 6 electical devices a radio tv later a cooker/heater a washer and few foreign holidays.Few had phones in that era.

Some dad's had a car or pickup that lasted a very long time and many serviced themself . yet people seemed happier families closer, local entertainment where people sang danced played local amatuer sport free to attend or very very cheap such that all could go who wnated.
I used to go to Chelsea F.C for the price of 2 beers today the cheapest seat would be twnety times more, basically barring the poor.

Unlike today's young I walked 3 miles in all weathers, happily with my pals to school, nobody apart from body builders needed a home or membership gym, mums visited 5 shops on foot for daily home cooked meals.

Few teenagers or women had cars and in Europe workmen travelled b bicycles in all weathers.

In realtively poor rural Ireland very very few had a private car in the 195Os, yet could afford a family home.

Later as young banker in London folks brought sandwiches from home and hardly ever went to restaurants, a fast food Chinese take away or indian curry meal was a weekend treat for most.

Yet a sfairly jumior FORX broker I was able to buy a 2 bedroom house aged 22,loan was around a qurter of net salary this would be impossible today unless wealthy parents have a huge deposit.

However renting is also expensice in many places leaving young frutrated living at home into theor 30-40s.

After 28 I had zero non mortgage debt and never owned a new car or iPhone although I could afford I saw it as waste.

I do hold a credit card had sncee 1972 to secure car rentals and book tickets but don't use more than holiday periods. No debt or interest payments has given me peace of mind for 50 years , I may be eccentric in the modern buy now pay later mentality.My former emplote keeps upping my creid limit to now 100 x orm ore than I use/need obviously baiting me to borrow.


Perhaps I'm nostalgic and I wish grandkids the new generations well and of course they face a different climate literally but a wolrd of climate change, financial uncertainty and a social manipulation and media pressure we did not have.

For the Boomers the late UK PM Lord Stockton Harold McMillan aka SuperMac who presided ove runprecedented 1950's boom

:They've never had it so good" he late rcriticized openly Thatcher's Reagan like fonancialization of private greed and publci squlaor as selling the family silver and the no such thing as Society. At least Europeans have free medical care!

^ I think I had it the best. Born in the '80s, we were the last generation and the last decade to grow up without mobile phones and the internet. And were the first generation to have such wonderful things in our twenties, when it was still all good and not so all consuming.

Family investment properties that were bought in the 80s, multiplied in value multiple times over during the Celtic Tiger years in the 90s, by the time I was an adult, such Investments had certainly paid off for the family.

What properties cost back then, wouldn't cover the 20% down payment needed to simply get a mortgage now. University educated professionals needing to live at home until 40 just to be able to cripple themselves financially for the rest of their lives because they have the temerity to want to own a home. Which hopefully won't be ransacked by 100 immigrant teens in a coordinated BMX bumrush organized on Snapchat for a bit of fun.

The west, or at least the West I grew up in, is well dead and buried.
