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

They're not the only ones doing quite well out of this - have you seen the movers and shakers over on amazon.co.uk?

Why are the police not cracking heads?

I thought it would have been a matter of bash now and ask questions later

Funny how skanger women walk around with their arms folded. Same as our own here, all have there arms crossed like they are pissed off with the world.

Hopefully it won't spill over to Ireland.

That night stick model has moved up that chart well during the days ...maybe the Police need extra ones urgent - up 50,207%

Why would it? Anyway the Garda would not be standing on street corners for long, the mountainy men would be quick enough I'd say.

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

Yeah there seems to be a genuine community with the asians. When they arrived in England, they didnt just get jobs in society. They went and started their own businesses and effectivly created a community. Its the done thing with sub-continent immigrants. Look at the amount of corner shops and take aways they own. In the afro-carribean community who would have arrived in England on mass around the same time as the Asian community they didnt seem to go into business ownership and prefered to work for others. A bit like Irish people did but the Irish tended to integrate well. There is no reason why the asian communty could come in and set up a prosperous community whilst the afro-carribean communtiy couldnt. They both started on the same footing. I think it could be a massive hangover for centuries of slavery. The asian community have an attitute of working for themselves, whilst the afro-carribean community have a mindset of working for others.

Because constant live action only encourages scumbags to keep going. Live action tells them exactly where to go to join the other scumbags. Live action shows others getting away with the disorder and fuels those thinking about joining. It's all copycat behaviour at this stage spreading all over the country.

I posted this on the other thread but 1 or 2 of these would work wonders...

People are saying a lot of asians are involved, well maybe they are pakistanis or muslim races. Indians are the majority of south asians ethnic group in london. It's amazing how people blame others assuming things out of ignorance.

Rubber Bullets haven't been deployed by the British forces since 1975.

Hopefully it will, I'm just waiting for my opportunity to dress up as skanger, turn on them, crack some of their sculls open with my trusted aluminium baseball bat and then bleed off and blend into the crowd in all the commotion....with no repercussions whatsoever! The gardai will be hiding in the stations. What could be better than finally wiping out a few skangers!

At the moment i'd never get away with killing a few of them!

BBC : camera attacked in Salford

Looking at cars blazing in Birmingham now.

Why are there no fire brigades there?

Why are the police just standing there looking at it?

That catering van was shown being attacked about 2 hours ago and the police where there then and they have just let it burn.

Is the police's policy to let the scumbags have their fun in one area and stop it spreading rather than attacking?

neonitrix

the UK Police should use the facebook auto tag software on all media photos taken during these riots to id the scum holding the city to ransome.

it would be the best use of the autotag feature.

could you imagine facebook updates on everyone's facebook profile showing them running around with lcd's runners etc.

They were shouting "Get the Pakis", apparently.
