The feral idiocy on the streets of Clapham speaks to a dangerous corrosion of adult authority.
You couldn’t ask for a better state-of-the-nation snapshot than the one coming out of Clapham in south-west London right now. Those clips of young, dumbfounded cops trying and failing to stop a mob of masked TikTok twats from running riot is Britain summed up. The dystopic vision of families barricaded inside shops as entitled delinquents swarm the streets for sport speaks to our crisis of social order. To see what lunacies the corrosion of adult authority can unleash, look no further than Clapham.
CHAOS IN CLAPHAM CONTINUES
Videos are being uploaded to social media of the latest mayhem caused but huge groups of youths in Southwest London
A small number of police tried to stop the crowds but to little effect.
