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.

2.25am: Police say 150 people are rioting in Bristol city centre, according to PA:

Copycat rioters rampaged through Bristol today with police chiefs warning of "volatile" scenes in the city centre.

More than 150 young rioters were causing disruption in the areas of St Paul's and Stokes Croft, the scene of rioting earlier this year amid anger over a new Tesco store.

People were warned to stay clear of the city centre as police launched efforts to bring the scenes under control.

Chap sitting on a bridge with a bloody nose, youths come along and inexplicably help him up.. Good turn you might think..

They then proceed to go through his bag and make off with his stuff.

The quote on the radio station I just heard is slightly different, but they are very very stretched at the moment.

Well the events in London do impact on us to a certain degree, the cost of the clean up operation is going to be HUGE, not to mention the potential damage to the UK name, it is vital for Ireland that we have a very healthy UK economy.

That's true.
But no country on earth has a healthy economy at the moment, given what's going on and the interdependence inherent to the world economy as currently constituted , and no country is going to have until those who purportedly wield influence in the world, political leaders, wrest control from those who actually wield influence in the world, the banking oligarchs.
That's if they have the ability to do so, or the will.
