to be fair, people were told to get off the streets. anyone left on them should be regarded as fair game IMO

When you see the timeline of both protagonists movements, you can see the guy who was killed continually trying to find a way out of the area and coming up against stop points manned by police, so he was there by no fault of his own.

Well I survived the night! I had some involvement with the council clean up work in Ealing today and I think there was about 50 shop fronts put in, 7 cars burnt and just one building burnt. The scary thing has been that there have been confirmed reports of these scum bags attacking and mugging people on their way homes etc.

 

Mixed reviews of the initial police response but I give credit to the council this morning. By 10 am all the burnt vehicles and debris removed. The bits of road that had been burnt were being resurfaced by 11.

good old human rights would be in favour of these thugs.

 

Precisely. One of the worst legislative moves in global history.

 

and respect lost from other countries. We have become a laughing stock

 

Yes. Take Germany now; they are utterly gobsmacked that this joke of a country beat them 70 years ago; how this nation has fallen in three score years and ten.

 

When reading these reports on the rioting, I'm struck by how little attention is given to the underlying problem that the UK is breeding itself a burgeoning class of uneducated, unmoralled, unemployable idiots..

 

Right.

 

and its only the beginning IMO

 

Yep; only the beginning of the reckoning.

 

Remember this...

A conspiracy theory eh?

Something more lighthearted: A Manchester Waterstones employee said "we'll stay open, if they steal some books they might learn something" - Yeah, if they can read.

Just been for a drink on the outskirts of Derby and the bar staff said that trouble had started in the city.
