At the same time, a certain directness or discipline can have its uses.Noticeably, there weren't any sneaker riots up here - the two kids who suggested it were locked-up in Govan's terrorist cells within an hour of posting on Facebook.And as the Twitting and BBMs weighed-up the choices yesterday lunchtime the Scottish and national media weren't full of pictures of Boris or Davy Cameron holding bog brushes. Instead there was short screening after short screening of our fine Scottish Police Officers climbing into mini-vans from Stornoway to Aberdeen and setting off for Manchester. No shields, no helmets, no water cannon - no rioting. If our English cousins need more help King Alex has 10,000 more who can pop on the next train.Do I hear doubters? Well, normal combat training involving football, gang warfare and housebreaking is suspended under these circumstances. The kid goes on the XBox and doesn't go off campus until the priority is dealt with. It may sound bizarre, but that's how it's worked for centuries.</blockquote>
