    Are all these links fresh - as in happening now - if so - what the hell are sky news doing??? apart from putting the whole station on loop for hours on end.

    Isn't it funny how the scumbag uniform carries over to here?

    Any of these young lads wouldn't look out of place outside the local Centra.

    Because it's easy to sanction the use of water cannon and baton rounds on the thick Paddy's, it's a different case when it's on the streets of the capital.
    Just goes to show how they regard NI and by extension the Irish so differently.

    Or the fact that water cannons are far more suited to dealing with static groups that are rioting as is often the case up north when you see large groups standing, hurling missiles. They aren't anywhere near as effective on small groups that are roaming the streets and looting, moving from spot to spot.

    Looting happening at Argos, supposedly a Wolverhampton branch.

    I wonder if they had to flick through the catalogue to make sure they grabbed the right swag.

    Interesting that, in London at least, the Asian, Turks and Kurds coming out of this very well. Joining up to defend their businesses and not rioting. Obviously a better community spirit with these lads

    Am I cynical for thinking this could be good news for Irish builders, tradesmen and laborers looking for work in the next few weeks and months?

    I think someone else posted yesterday as well

    Anyone watching SKY in Manchester a bunch of kids in hoodies acting big and getting chased away by police with dogs (on leads). That's about the level of political argument

    Yes, well it was said earlier by another posters that most of the people involved were either black or indian. very few asians involved in the rioting. Get it right!
