    Surely people don't think that the death of Mark Duggan is really the cause of this?

    Not the cause but the tipping point Worth a read

    Kay Burley: "The police are getting tough, lets see what happens!"

    She sounds gleeful.

    Bloody Sky News with coverage of riot police getting ready.

    "They're getting tough, let's see what happens".

    I'm surprised they haven't switched coverage to a pay per view sports channel!

    Facts are going to take a while to come out of it. of course there are going to be things that turn out to be false, thats the nature of investigations.

    but do you think any of the rioters give a **** at this stage, or are even listening? those two girl rioters on bbc didnt even know who was in government.

    The rioters now, no. But it's more complicated than that. I won't repeat what I said in previous posts, but that event was certainly the catalyst that got the ball rolling. Along the way, it tapped into something bigger and turned into something else, but none of this stuff happened in a vacuum.

    Some of the rioters are taking stuff they can't pay for....what does that remind you off?

    Do you think, that just because you getto-ize people, give them a sub standard education in horrible environments that they won't see what is really going on in the world?

    Maybe they are wrong but can you see how they might have gotten the wrong perception of how the world really works??
    Haven't we in the middle class gotten one hell of a wake up call this last few years?????
    Try and see beyond your nose...it's called 'understanding'.
    Em a fair few of us are working class. My father grew up in real poverty and never stole a thing in his life.

    BlackBerries are an essential requirement, don't you know? How can you possibly expect people to live without internet phones, Sky TV and an iPod Touch? :rolleyes:

    Lols, you can get a free Blackberry in the UK with just about all the networks, even on pay as you go you can get a Blackberry for less than a hundred bucks.

    Two 18-year-olds are arrested in Folkestone, Kent, after Scotland Yard says a number of "inflammatory" comments were seen on Facebook in relation to rioting in London and other cities.

    And about the race thing, let's not fool ourselves. The vast majority of the looters were black, and the vast majority of the people cleaning up are white. It's hardly racist to note that.

    im seeing plenty of white faces. here for example

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-14462271

    plenty of other places around if you want to check

    [I agree with the whole they ain't poverty stricken bit], but wanted to add that I doubt they buy their own Blackberries. All mugged off some suit.

    I've got the solution folks. Drop tonnes of mdma and magic mushrooms over London tonight. The rioters will be too loved up or freaked out to cause any trouble.

    I really hope the police kick some heads in tonight. But the rioters know they're coming so they'll run back to their holes.

    It's quite simple, they are taking what society says they can't have, what society told their parents, they can't have.
    I'm only suprised that it has taken this long.

    Oh be still my bleeding liberal heart :rolleyes:

    They are bottom feeding scumbags.

    Try and see beyond your nose...it's called 'understanding'.

    Your talking a mountain of nonsense!

    I worked in London for a while and I used to work with a lad from north east london, right in the thick of where all this started. He was one of the soundest lads I knew over there. Spoke really well, travelled for about 2 hours to and from work everyday getting both buses and the tube and he was a good worker. If you didn't know you would say he was from a very good area.

    He even came over to Ireland for a weekend when I moved home to visit and he loved the place. Now I never asked but I can only presume he was from a fairly poor background considering where he lived is the stabbing capital of london. I would bet every penny I ever had and will have that he is travelling to work through all the riots.

    In the end a person decides if they are going to be a scumbag or not its not decided by their background!

    Kay Burley of sky news got this quote from one black youth spokesman

    '' their mums are all out working all hrs to make ends meet and they (hooligans ) get bored '' ( jesus ... wtf ) :rolleyes:

    She replied '' so are millions of other parents out working all hrs but their kids including mine dont go out at night , cause mayham , rioting and looting for fun ''?

    Then he says matter of fact '' but your on a really high salary '' ? to which she replys '' I was brought up in council estate in Wigan and my parents taught me right from wrong '' ?

    He looks back at her with blank expression on face :rolleyes:


    I getting sick of hearing of these black spokesmen and women droning on about how cut off from society the black youth are, like some mantra we have heard hundreds of times before which reminds you of one of those horribly bad rap songs when the simple answer is that most of this scum are lazy, useless , feral rats .

    ^ Would you all ever **** off
