Like many other in the silent majority, I'm just sitting here beyond disgusted and ashamed of what is going on in London, and now Birmingham. It's fab that there's a campaign to clear up London - my utter admiration goes out to everyone involved. I'm also not surprised to hear of local businesspeople and residents standing up to the mobs. I don't blame them at all.
What in earth can the rest of us do to SHOW and SAY LOUDLY that we hate what is going on?? And I don't just mean 'liking' facebook support pages or posting on forums because let's face it, most ordinary people don't have time to spare for endless debating online.
What works? What brings people together in a practical way? Ironically, organised peaceful protests are too risky and would give the mobs a new chance to start trouble.
