the big question is... is it time to deploy the army with water cannons and plastic bullets? (hell, failing that, live ammunition even?)

PLEASE not the TA. Do we really need boys who never grew out of playing war policing our streets?

Just think about the dignity and spirituality of the Norwegians in their time of deep crisis compared with the ugly - greedy -shitty yobs who are responsible for this appalling behaviour.

Think also of the starving people of Africa - slowly - silently - passively making their way to feeding stations.

God  I am so ashamed.

Yes you are so right Oldspice.  But I have no idea what the answer is, or whether there is one.

It's a pity Bounty isn't here - imagine the drinking game we could have played. Double shot every time he used the term 'draconian measures'!
