The government and the mayor have 6 hours to get ahead of the game

Three days of mass rioting shows that this has passed from the ability of senior police officers to control with their current rules of engagement and resources.

Hence their failure now passes the buck up to the layer of government.

David Cameron, Theresa May and Boris Johnson need to understand they will be judged on events tonight.

The terms of the law enforcement efforts need to be changed by them in the next 6 hours or they will join in the responsibility for what happens tonight.

They need to consider:

1. Curfews;
2. Army back up for the fire brigade & maybe police;
3. Shutting down the mobile phone data networks in London;
4. More aggressive localised policing ( you can't do it everywhere, but one or two traps to crush disorder might help ).

They also need to counter the argument the left are trying to make by telling the left that this is their fault due to the failure of morality in London.

They've got six hours to make decisions that could make a difference. They need to speak to people on the streets to understand what this means to them, as well as the police repeating their common purpose diversity trained brain washed lines.

500/1 are the odds against a Dad4Mayor

The mystery of the disappearing Gary Bushell as the English Democrats candidate for London has been solved by the Bromley Times.

Apparently Matt O'Connor has been recruited selected to stand. Now you may not approve of Fathers4Justice's stunts, but they knew how to get their point across to a society that just doesn't want to hear it. Probably just what the English Democrats need.

The Bromley Times says:

THE mastermind behind the stunt that saw former Prime Minister Tony Blair pelted with purple flour has promised to bring subversion to the mayoral elections.

Matt O'Connor, founder of the headline-grabbing group Fathers 4 Justice, was named candidate for the English Democrats for London mayor last Saturday.

Mr O'Connor, a divorced father-of-two formerly of Bromley, said his political stunts will not put off voters in the Mayoral race.

He said: "There is going to be some colour and some satire and subversion is going to be a part, but we will fight according to the politicians' rule book.

Before going on to quote the odds against Mr Conner at 500/1, but I imagine that's just the way he likes it.

If I was Boris or Ken I'd be watching out for the handcuffs ....
