We need to give the rioters allotment plots apparently. (http://www.landshare.net/news/anti-social-behaviour-on-wigan-estate-falls-by-50-thanks-to-allotments/)

A good example of correlation not implying causation I think.

I can well believe allotments could have a civilising influence.

If they worked an allotment properly they wouldn't have the time or energy to riot.
On the lighter side.It calmed me down ;D

We must be getting it wrong at the moment then. This month there's been arson, theft and vandalism.....in fact it almost seems shutting the allotmants down would reduce ASB by 50%  :'( :'( :'(
