London and UK riots (started in Tottenham 10:30PM, 6th Aug)

CorkMan · 2011-08-06 22:32:55

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/aug/06/police-cars-attacked-tottenham-mark-duggan Hopefully this fiasco will be quelled soon. I am all for protesting, but if shops are being burned and places are being looted, it is not good for the local community or local business the next day.

Different country? I don't expect it people to start rioting out on my street in brussels, so why the hell would it happen in Dublin?

Why is it happening in Liverpool & Birmingham?? Monkey see monkey do....scumbags are a sub species...did BBC just say Manchester now??

In the meantime, tonight, while it harms very few workers, turn the mobile signals across london off.

:rolleyes:

What about people needing to contact loved ones, people who need an ambulance, or to notify police of escalating thuggery?

I'm not going to read through 122 pages of stuff but simply say what i happening is sickening and disgraceful...

WTF are these people think they are achieving, I'd really love to know, apart from wrecking their own areas :rolleyes:

Time for the police and even army to stop the gently gently approach and do whatever it takes!
Senseless violence for the sake of it and nothing more, deal with it with a sledgehammer. They had their chance over the last few nights to cop on and stop...

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.

?!!

don't suggest the black yoof culture they went on to adopt is the root cause; they were just as bad when merely ravers. massive tools. that was the demon seed

it's a bit like Pendulum. combining the worst of two genres to form one big sloppy neo-shít children can go mental to

we'll have to use landlines like back in the day. The pre- london burned for three days due to social media and BBM day.

I'd say calling 999 is about as much use as a tart at a vicars teaparty. How about we keep the one line open. If possible.

Because 90% of the rioters are black or asian, from what I can see anyway.

No-one says anything though, 'cause if you do, you're a racist.

Bit of rain would calm things down a bit,and give the police a chance to regroup for a few hours.

Who here thinks this is more smoke and mirrors from the Government to divert attention away from the imploding International economy? Today was like the 1929 wallstreet crash yet here we are all uppittty about a few chavs nicking iPhones from Carphone Warehouse.

Go away with stupid conspiracy theories. This is only getting blanket coverage on English channels which is obvious enough.

Rest of world is giving stock exchange plenty of coverage.
