Police stretched beyond belief!
I have just returned from a few days in London and was I glad when that train pulled out of Kings Cross. An uneasy feeling followed my London cab as I crossed the city listening to the news. My heart goes out to those people who live in these troubled areas. How frightening this must be. On a practical level, we most certainly are not doing enough. This situation is escalating beyond belief and will continue to do so unless we toughen up. Are we going to allow these youths to destroy our cities and endanger lives? Clearly-to date-YES.
Too much talking and not enough action. Order should have been maintained much sooner than this, and personally I would have brought in the water canons hours ago. And there\'s plenty of the great British public who agree with me! These kids clearly believe they can get away with this disgraceful behaviour and whilst ever they can, they will.
More robust action from the police is needed immediately. Put fear into these youths before their fearful behaviour compounds the destruction and leads to greater loss of life. A curfew, a military precence. Who are these fools...mentioning no names...on BBC News this morning who seem to think we should talk and look at the underlying problems. Think it\'s too late for that now. Regain order first, then talk please.

Just finished a fantastic chat on UCB UK radio. Talked about my vision for the Chavos brand and of course the plight of the world\'s street children.
UCB themselves have gone from strength to strength, starting from humble beginnings, broadcasting from a tiny room in a borrowed flat with little or no rescources.
Well folks, Bannantyne started selling ice cream from one small van....I rest my case!
Chavos, came to life as the result of a humanitarian visit in 2003 to Mexico City. The future looks exciting. With so many books planned and a stage production under discussion for 2013, we can ask ourselves. What next?
If you have a dream. If you have a vision. Don\'t give up!
Especially you kids. Work hard at school, train, rehearse and practice.
Mums & Dads, don\'t give in. Only you can do what you were born to do. Let\'s see what we can all achieve. Remember, it\'s better to look back on your life and have tried and failed; than to have never tried at all. Don\'t look back with regrets and wonder, what if?
Keep Chavosing
