Russethouse Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-14560087Prince Charles visited the areas of rioting today - it would be easy to dismiss it but The Princes Trust do a lot of work with young people and he is doubling the funding in those areas - in the bit I saw about him on the news he seemed quite passionate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbie Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Just heard Prince Charles on BBC News. I hope the politicians will listen to the sensible remarks he made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Animal Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Thank you RH. Good for him, at least he is showing some concern.There was a programme on the other night about a town in the States, pretty houses and green lawns, where it's all terror, drugs, gangs and killings. One kid said he joined a gang to belong somewhere, to exist, as his mother was on crack and he had no family life, similar to the remarks Prince Charles made.

mint Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 To those on the Forum who thought Cameron was doing a wonderful job, was masterful, decisive, etc and who laughed at me when I said I was contemptuous of Cameron's "efforts" in the wake of the riots, this might persuade you to think again:http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-2028283/PETER-HITCHENS-The-picture-tells-you-need-know-Great-Faker.htmlNow, me, I don't like to say I told you so but it's hot, I have had too big a lunch out and I feel like hitting back![6] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frederick Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 The words of the Prime Minister " National Citizen Service is non military but aims to foster the same sense of responsibilityand self discipline . Its about young people spending time away from home doing a mix of tough physical activities like climbing and hiking alongside work in the community. They might be coaching younger children to play football. Visiting elderly patients in hospital or offering a bike repair service to the community "Climbing ! They can already shin up a drainpipe ..Hiking . ! Physical Activity ! Try and catch one after they have burgled your house they can run like a gazelle !

Russethouse Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Gosh, I never thought I would say this but I wish they would actually listen to Prince Charles he has a long history in dealing with young people and although I doubt I would agree with everything he says I suspect he does have something to offer. At least he and his sons 'got out there' last week.........I'm for anything that gives some of these youngsters self esteem and a good set of values - if you don't value yourself there isn't so much chance you'll value anything else.......

Rabbie Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Something needs to be done to address this problem. National Citizen Service seems to be one of the better proposals put forward so far. Having a resentful underclass that feel detached from the rest of society is not making things better. Giving these people some strict discipline may well be the best way to progress this. It would also help to give them some hope that they are not trapped on these sink estates. Something constructive needs to done to break the vicious circle that is a cancer on our society here in Britain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederick Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 And as this will be " Voluntary " How are they likely to get gang leaders in London and their followers to leave the streets and the drug trade for the summer school holiday period That is the plan and go hiking in the Lake District or wherever ? I would love to know how they plan to achieve that . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
