Just to lighten the mood;
The people of London call it 'a disgrace'.
The people of Birmingham call it 'an abomination.'
The people of Liverpool call it 'a Monday'.

But there's always an underclass of scum, there will be in any society. All they need is the green flag and all hell breaks loose. I bet successive Governments have wondered how they've got away with no civil unrest for so long, given the fairly harsh recession. Had to happen sooner or later.

Just seen Theresa May on the news saying they're not going to call in the army as 'In this country we want to police by consent, we want to give the Police the chance to gain control'... How bloody long do you want to give them? They seem to be focusing their efforts on arresting based on CCTV footage, insn't prevention better than cure????

LoL and correct!
F1 fan, try not to forget that the last government had a big hand in creating the atmosphere for the problems we are now seeing!
TBH i do not think there are enough Police to deal with this as it is now spreading around London and the country. If this continues then the army will need to be called in. About time a curfew was introduced and rigidly enforced with zero tolerance!
Time to take back the streets from the violent scum!

The Paras with a load of plastic bullets would sort them out. Water cannons with permanent identifiable dye, it would least ruin their clothes and mark their skin for a few days. They need to make arrests during the day, they will be back out tonight for sure and are probably planning on something bigger.
Harrods anyone? How about a bank raid?
This wont stop for a while, they are just getting going and it's fun for them, it's giving them something to do and they're probably making thousands from all the looting.
Paras needed pronto.

This has nothing to do with the shooting, has nothing to do with the Government's austerity measures, has nothing to do with anti globalisation, has nothing to do with gang territories, has nothing to do with race, has nothing to do with any protests, but everything to do with just plain opportunistic criminality, thieving, looting and public disorder and disobedience for personal gain. Flash riots and looting organised through mobiles and the internet meaning that they are always one step a head of the authorities.
Hopefully this will stop when the school term starts in September!

Hopefully this will stop when the Government grows some ***** and sends the army in with live rounds!

It does have something to do with the shooting, Jon. That was the spark, the catalyst. Everything else that's followed has just been a free-for-all i agree, with each of the scum probably having a different "reason" for why they've got involved. But if there was no chance of a free telly, many of these retards wouldn't be on the streets.

We need a deterrent and fast.
-Bring back the cane in schools.
-Bring back capital punishment.
-Remove a for every theft.
As for now, set a curfew and state that anyone on the streets after this time will be viewed as a potential threat thus allowing the Poilice/Army to use whatever means necessary to bring that person down.

One of my collegues was struck over the head with a metal bar last night, for wearing an (orange) hi vis jacket. FFS.
And I'm stuck in the middle of all this for the next three days. (Tottenham)
How small scale can you deploy napalm?

Are you saying it is more to do with the Police cuts that haven't really happened yet, or that generally, the 'protestors' feel that this is the appropriate action for them to take to be taken seriously?
They are kids for f*ck sake.

Yes everything in my post his government have done other than the economy already faltering.
What's your problem understanding that you can only push people so far.
This has zip all to do with the guy being shot, that was just the straw that broke the camel's back. The country was like a tinderbox and now it's ablaze.
Believe you me I want it sorted as much as anyone and the army can come in and shoot them for me, but the reasons for it all are obvious and pretty much as I posted!

Paul, try not to forget that the last government are no longer here and haven't been for 15 months and people did not riot on the streets when they were here and anyway the problem is now... today... and so far the government mainly made up of the party that is supposed to be the party of action not talk (their words in the election) have done little of either!

We have at least two generations of rot in that time period to fix (the current one and their parents). It'll take at least another two generations to sort out.
