    I wonder if this one get arrested yet.

    Imagine if she logged onto her twitter in the morning and she saw:
    GM Police (gmpolice) @ itsBARBZbabes

    If you have been using social networking sites to incite disorder, expect us to come knocking on your door very soon

    :D

    it does. I think chav culture is confined to a strip of Europe encompassing here, uk, holland, Germany, and on into eastern Europe and Russia.. "Eurotrash" basically. Rave culture, bolstered by the gunz n fronting of the rap. Gotta be hip to the hop, daddi-o
    That's at least twice you have mentioned rave and rap/hip hop as a cause of scumbags/chavs. Are you serious or joking? I liked rave back in the 90s and still look fondly back at oldschool rave and still enjoy it today, I was never a scumbag.
    If you are one of those people who think films/computer games/music turn people into scumbags/criminals and porn turns people into sex offenders then maybe you should emmigrate to the southern states of america or maybe try to think a bit more deeply. It might hurt your brain but it may prevent your opinions hurting other people's brains.

    it's also the cause of knobheads. Some one should have locked the Asylum door one packed Saturday night in the early 90s n thrown away the key, tbh. Seems you all needed an artificial high to enjoy that computer generated shíte, tbh.. gals, gays and predators alike - all mong'd out to the same beat.

    Sangat guys get the go ahead by police to explore some crowded area and they immediately cut to an ad break? Boo.

    I do not think they are live though.

    I don't know is that good news or not because Im thinking if these youths are in the groups like they are, fighting their violence with violence might end in someone getting killed.

    Wouldn't mind breaking a few of these youths kneecap's with a shiny baseball bat tho..


    lets be honest...
    some scumbags try to start looting your shop. you dont know if one of them is carrying and knife and willing to stick you. Its not only defending your property but defending your life too. By breaking in and trying to rob, a line has been crossed.

    But common sense should kick in ... shop should be locked and boarded up even as many shop owners have done today. But your would be a terrible situation if you lived above your shop.

    You can't cure it, how do you cure football hooligansim?

    You do the best, give them as many opportunities as you can and stop blaming races!

    In the most extreme cases football games are played behind closed doors, clubs fined etc, as long as they keep it amongst themselves the police seem relatively happy, in the same way that gang violence tended to be kept within the gangs. Now we are seeing gangs working together against man, building and whatever else is in their path.

    I never blamed race, not sure where that came from! People of White, Black, Brown and Blue have been seen helping themselves

    It just showed a relatively generous, integrated society can crumble. Where to from here?

    Yeah, I suppose it could be footage from earlier in the day. The omnipresent Exclusive Live From Birmingham is terribly misleading.

    The Met has fresh advice to the owners of businesses in London on how to deal with disorder.

    It says they don't have to wait to be attacked to use "defensive force" to protect their premises and can "use something to hand as a weapon" if they feel it's necessary "in the heat of the moment".


    heyho.

    Ok so this is not real ... Ya had me :o getting late :p

    Wow chip on your shoulder much? Did little norris minor get left out of the party?
    Well I was never in the asylum see cos I was too young which meant I was enjoying the music at home without drugs, not even looting shops would you believe!! And today I still enjoy "artificial music" as you call it, and the amazing thing is..... I STILL don't loot shops and even more amazing is that I enjoy loads of other types of music too! I'd even go so far as to say that I'm certain that I have a broader musical taste that you. From jazz to classical to electronic to experimental. Does that mean that you are more likely to loot shops that me? Because I'm more musically educated than you?
    Or could it possibly mean that music has absolutley nothing to do with riots or scumbags and that you are possibly mildly retarded and backward?

    4 Fire engines have been disabled in Liverpool, people breaking into houses and torching them, far worse here tonight than it was last night


  • Registered Users Posts: 620 ✭✭✭Laika1986


    Still seems to be spreading I reckon the next places will be Stoke, Northampton and Swindon

    From BBC. Looking at a few tweets Gloucester seems to be rioting aswell

    The football is likely off at the weekend too:( that may be a bargaining tool for them to stop now, enough of those sort occupy the terraces or life revolves around it so it's no surprise they are punishing em this way. with soccer the sport that attracts the biggest muppets.. guilty!! They'll spoil it for all of us

    As posted on a Liverpool forum the all football league clubs should come out and say life time bans for all convicted rioters.

    Closed doors don't happen in England, points deductions for administration does! Finances are more important.

    The race thing was more aimed at the other crap on this thread.

    There is no perfect society. When we stop searching for it, we might get one!

    so you're a little more cultured that the average raving idiot. Well done.

    I had an eclectic taste in music too as a youth.. Turned out I was into nothing in particular.

    Gloucester fire, supposedly includes an Argos, an old Woolworths buliding, gloscat? and library. Also rioting.

    Sorry about that, thought there was a crossed wire somewhere.

    I know there is no perfect society, but I never thought in 100 years that a relatively benign police ****up would cause the worst riots of a generation

    I think she tweeted again later on after that, unconvincingly showing contrition after so many people turned on her on the site.

    Hmm good point. soccer does attract alot of muppets and chavs and scumbags. Actually looking at your posts you seem to like soccer alot too.... I could eaily come to a conclusion here if I had a big tar soaked brush except I like soccer too and I'm also capable of lateral thinking.

    If the football is off for the weekend, that will be ok as it may give Wenger time to sign some players. Then again, probably not. :(

    Let me guess your eclectic taste in music didn't involve electronics or rioting? That dastardly old combination! Actually tell me what music that was because unless your an ancient man it probably did involve electronic or "artificial" music.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,243 ✭✭✭LighterGuy


    Latest pic shows one of the rioters are stealing everything ... even paper.

    When this s**t is over, Britian could become Orwellian or a "police state". Which means more freedom taken away from the people and more power given to the elite :(
