    You just stated what they are. How about you explain why they are what you call them and we could move forward from simple name calling.

    Did you just add the term "parasites" to my quote?

    Why they are? I explained that - molly coddled socialism, and a criminal entrepreneurial culture of their own.

    In no sense are the majority here working class. In general the working classes don't riot. The London working classes have to be up from 6Am tomorrow to get to work, to finance the rebuilding of London. The working classes are in bed, if they are in a safe area. Trying to ignore the riots. Some have nowhere to work because their place of work has burned down.

    Meanwhile criminal lumpen proletarians will continue to riot.

    Why has the army not been deployed? Sure this course of action is the obvious one to take! Police with batons can only do so much! Every single one of these rioting scumbags should be beaten to a pulp. Either that or a round of rubber bullets fired at them. I thought places in Ireland had anti-social issues but north London takes the biscuit completely.

    Send in the Army.
    that is all.

    Rioters should be warned by loudhaler, and by newsflash, that:

    "If they do not disperse peacefully by 02:00hrs, they are endangering their own lives".

    At 02:00hrs the Army/Riot Police should be deployed, first letting loose about 100 angry attack dogs on the crowd, followed by a volley of batton rounds and a charge of 500 Army/Riot Police personnel swinging batons a plenty, until the street is awash with blood and teeth.

    Nobody should get out of the kill zone without broken bones.

    They've done some damage in Camden, getting phone pics now from a friend. Jesus Christ. I need to go to bed cos I'm up early for work but I honestly don't know what on earth I'm going to wake up to. Every minute, something else has been set on fire.

    Any chance of posting them? No new footage or pics and feck all reports through the "proper" channels in a quite a while.

    Whats going on, are they cutting benefits in the UK already? Could there also be riots after the next Irish budget?

    Don't tell them about the benefits over here, or they will be rioting over there for the rest of the year

    Fill the ferry and planes with them and divert them to Greenland. One way of course!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,030 ✭✭✭✭Chuck Stone


    They want to bring in water cannon from Northern Ireland. I'm surprised that they don't have a sufficient supply of water cannon in and around London in preparation for this sort of events.

    Blast them with... holy water?

    Surely these events must be a while coming? They are hardly totally spontaneoues?

    I came home from England today, to think, I want to London on the train, passing through the likes of Clapham and Croydon, now all in flames!

    In fairness they are pretty big areas.

    Not all in flames to be honest, sadly a number of buildings - but definitely by far, not all (thankfully).

    This ain't doing the Met's credibility any good I can tell you.

    All I'm hearing over here is on rdio shows are..'Wtf are the cops not doing anything?' - 'What the hell are my taxes paying for?'

    Camden is getting close to where I live.

    Wonder if they'll reach Edgeware Road/Kilburn High Road/ Cricklewood Broadway?



    Kilburn already hit apparently - Camden and Chalk Farm in a bad way.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,462 ✭✭✭Kiwi_knock


    The police seem to have given up, probably hoping that they can arrest people based on the CCTV footage.

    from the Beeb.

    2335:

    Police at the scene of the Croydon disturbances are investigating a "non-fatal" shooting, according to a source.

    No more details are immediately available.

    Reports coming in of Ross Kemp being deployed. We'll get great footage and interviews with the 'Ringleader'.

    Lot of good that is to people caught up in the riots, and to business people who's livelyhoods are being destroyed!

    More of chance of easier to convict instead of someone seen walking into a place.

    If things continue going downhill here you can be sure there will be.

    The looters in Camden picked the right place, some cool bits there!

    If you work for a living you are working class, doesn't matter what your job is and if you're an accountant or in Supermacs, both are the same

    There is nothing working class about many of these

    Exactly. Everybody on the tube tomorrow is working class. This is a criminal class.
