    In Greece recently there was rioting in the streets, damage done, and it wasn't just the lower class or "scumbags" who were doing it, it was the middle class and ordinary folk who had had enough of their government and their banks, nobody got hurt, and frankly I wish the people of Ireland had the courage to do the same sometimes.

    Nobody hurt? :confused:

    Three bank staff died when a branch was set on fire
    The Greek prime minister has denounced what he called the "murder" of three bank workers killed when the building they were in was torched during protests in Athens against harsh new austerity measures.

    Not top executives, just ordinary bank staff working in a branch

    If you want Ireland to do the same then you need to take a look at yourself

    Music can define moments:

    I miss the Loved up 90's ,Acid House & Extacy chilled a nation and stopped football violence etc

    Grime & UK Gangster Rap ...is the soundtrack to this scum mob.
    (Check out some of the North London Gangs groups on Youtube)

    In hindsight maybe the dark and brooding sound of Dubstep was the precursor to NOW.

    No reason for it to spread to Birmingham. Hell there's probably more Sky subscribers here than there.

    Birmingham is in England, Ireland is not, or wasn't the last time i checked.

    Yeah, but Twitter also said that a children's hospital had been attacked and animals had been released from the zoo.

    Really show the brazenness of the guys on the street...they're giving lip and making moves, only yards from a police line. Reporter wasn't long walking to a safer distance.

    When Biggins is in a thread posting like fuk, it easy to see the sheep mentality. Or avoid it.
