Do you really think that these thugs and criminals give a **** about jobs etc? This is just idiots using an excuse they can to act like idiots, it has no reasoning behind it. I suppose the 10 year old kids involved are "protesting" about the lack of jobs for them?
Spot on, in most cases. "You guys go and lob some rocks at the old bill while we turn these shops over"
Actually I got the 20 years ago wrong - more like 30. You're right that's what was said by certain reactionaries... but Lord Scarman found differently. If you'd been there you'd know that the lumpen looting aspect was far less than the conscientious protest elements in many cities. I see no such cause in what we're experiencing here and now. Sooperhoops is right about criminal opportunism and I would add no regard for human life this lot (vis the arson in Tottenham with people's flats above. Absolutely disgusting. Regardless of team colours, seriously wish all you and yours safe and well for the duration.
Reliable source??? moistgash asked: I just got off the phone to my friend who was trapped in the bullring, it's been broken into in the past 10 mins and the shops are being looted, everyone who was working in there are out and on their way home so no-one will get hurt.
Chico's flip flop shame what do the big boys think? oh....yeah, that's what I think too. Chico, the zeitgeist kid. what a ****
Was it definitely a replica Schteff?, how did this radio save the policeman from a bullet? I think our Police should be armed as they are in Europe, there's no messing with them at football matches/tournaments. It would seem that some of the first lot arrested on Saturday, are not Tottenham residents. Seeing as its happening now all over London, it could well be something on larger scale.
They are not all 10 year old are they There's always going to be chancers and anarchists and all sorts of hanger-on so please don't generalise that they are all rioting and looting. grow up a little.
Why would you have a replica gun on you in the first place,and talking of putting people in ghettos with no jobs is total bollocks mate.The whole of the East End was a ****ing ghetto during the blitz but u didn;t see little ****s looting and burning property then did you.These ****ers have no respect for anyone and allowed to roam the streets in feral packs by their so called parents.The main problem is the law,and the fact that even if caught their punishment will be pathetic,and they will be out in months to repeat their crimes.BRING BACK HANGING.
I'm just saying that, although clearly this is pretty awful, there may be legitimate grievances beneath it. Grievances that are not in the interest of the police, media or government to report.
Paul Heaton Anyone who wants to hear idle platitudes of how the police are doing a great job and the rioters should be deported, please, immediately **** off to Michael Buble's facebook page.
Looting spreads to North London as #saintsfc loot #arsenal for £15m. Police find only an unproven 17 year old left in wreckage at Emirates.
