This is encouraging:

Television star Dan Snow 'arrested' a rioter as he looted a shop outside his London home, it was revealed today.

The 6ft 6in presenter confronted yobs as they raided a shoe shop outside his property in Notting Hill gate at around 11pm last night.

As around 50 people caused chaos outside he bravely rugby-tackled a thug and held him until police arrived.

He told The Times: 'As I came up I could hear police sirens coming up the road. 'One of them belted out of the shoe shop. He didn't see me coming, so I rugby-tackled him. He was quite surprrised.'

Good for him.

London is still debating whether to use water cannons or not. Use of water cannon on rioters backed from right and left, but doubts remain ?????????

Meanwhile citizens are left to defend their own properties, hospital staff are left to defend their wards. Wake up, London.
