Annoyed to run out of loo rolls and find little Sainsbury’s round the corner has been trashed by rioters. Inconsiderate. Spoke to a policeman guarding the wreckage. He said people had been coming up to him all morning with suggestions on how to deal with looters. Told him I thought shooting/flogging etc a bit extreme.
“How do you feel about dogs?” he asked. “Dogs would be frightening and would probably do the trick,” I said. He agreed. “I’d rather use dogs,” he said, “At least if they bite someone they won’t get the sack.”
