    Everyone too busy watching the Sangat presenters interviewing the Police?

    What will everyone do when the riots end.

    .. and so, their little treasures are wrapped up at home playing on a freshly nabbed xpox listning to their inspirational grimey hip hopster davey ravey yoof music once the good folk are all out on the street. that's Britain's future that is.. "Great" britain. And a culture they try to discipline the world with, to this day and beyond. whilst there's kids with better etiquette high on Charlie toting AK's in the Congo.

    Not sure if this has been posted but Sony have offered to replace the stolen PSP of the boy who was filmed being mugged. It's nice to see something good happen for the guy.

    That's great to see. They've collected a fair bit so far. Unfortunately I've only got a laser card. I may try and borrow my dads credit card and donate a few euros. Hopefully he gets to open up again

    Hate to be the sceptical type but how would you verify that the site is legit before donating?

    Edit: Actually you could probably trace it through BBH but I think personally I'd have to do that before donating...

    3,765.97 now in the space of 25 minutes :eek: I think Aaron can finally start thinking of retiring now :pac:

    I would imagine he would give any excess to other businesses on the street damaged.

    I just donated a euro for you (and one from myself, they're only looking for a quid each). Throw it in a charity box sometime.

    The guy on Sky News ATM is some twat. He seems to think that punishing those involved in the rioting is not the way to go but rather we should try to understand them and what drove them to riot. It was greed, pure and simple. A bunch of scum saw an opportunity to take what they want through terror and theft. Everyone one of them should face the full brunt if the law. There's absolutely no excuse for what they did.

    All of us would like a new 3D TV but we recognise that if we want one we have to work hard and save, we do not go out and steal it. If we cannot afford it then we do without.

    There's a strong correlation between retiring and dying. People who keep working past 65 usually live much longer (as in this case). If he has to retire, he'll probably be dead in 6 months. :(

    These people reading the papers for Sky News are getting me angry :mad:

    "disenfranchised" "alienated" "seek to understand" "statistical anomalies"
    "Seeking to punish with the law should not be the first option"

    And now he's spouting ****e about England football and cricket teams,narcissism and his connection as a fan, get him off the air
