Riots!
What the Hell is going on ?
London, Birmingham,now im hearing Wolverhampton.
Half the people are doing it for a laugh, the police are a joke, this is what happens when the public isn't scared of the police, perhaps this would be different if the police was aloud to use more force like in some other countries.

Most of it is now just down to kids jumping on the bandwagon and looting.
They should get locked up for armed robbery.

The ploice should just ' steam into em ' let the little {EDIT} get wot they deserve ;0)
Sky Poker may take a different view in the morning, but I think it's sensible to keep the discussion in a single thread.
We have people on benefits 'earning' more and having a better standard of living than people working their butts off for minimum wage.
We have MPs skimming off our taxes to buy adult movies.
We have huge immigrant ghettoes in most cities.
We have a generation of angry young men from sink estates who have no concept of what a father is, and have therefore turned to gangs for their role models.
Is this really any surprise?
I am in no way excusing what has been done, but I do think that some form of civil unrest was inevitable. I was in a taxi that was stoved in by bricks during the poll tax riots (I was 11). In no way excusable to aim bricks at kids' heads, but the protestors were right. This has turned into an anticapitalism protest, which was certainly long overdue. If only the educated middle classes weren't so spineless (and our politicians so corrupt) - the major issues facing our country might have been solved democratically.

I posted last night in the Shed that London had gone bonkers, but as I've just posted in the shed - it's now
I N S A N E.
The Sony building has apparently just "exploded" near Enfield and practically every borough in London currently has either fires and / or looting+robbery (A Mcdonalds just got raided in Canning Town by 25 people armed with hammers etc). By all accounts Ealing's being ransacked without much (if any) police being able to respond to attacks, they just don't have the numbers.
I don't want to go to bed because I'm worried I'm going to wake up to the opening scene of '28 days later'.
Ofc Enfield and Croydon are technically outside London and as posts have stated above, this has been spreading round the country.
What is going on.
I've just heard Woolwich High St. (Literally the high street inc the wetherspoons) has been totally raided by anything upto 200 pondscum.
(apologies for that insult to pondscum).
ridiculous dont even want to leave the house its getting so bad
P.S. I blame the goverment.
P.S.S What the monkey actually kicked it all off.
Every single one of us is affected by a corrupt and incompetent government,that is no excuse for what is happening now.
Financial Armagedon springs to mind, o yeah, did not our so-called finance & budget experts, [Brown & co], sell half our Gold reserves at rock bottom price, this would nearly have solved this current prob for UK!!!!
On a More serious note, there is a riot in ma front room, The Hitwife has looted ma wallet, & ran off with the laptop!!!
