    Famines and bailouts are a bit of a downer compared to watching round-the-clock rioting.

    Attack the poster not the post :D

    Why do you all give a sh!t? I don't believe every single one of you have family or friends in London.

    Worse stuff happening around the world right this minute.

    what a ridiculous comment to make, this is happening across the pond, it could easily start happening over here.

    and I ued to live in london as a child and have a brother and neices over there. I'm sure there are plenty more posters that have family and friends over there so stop acting so ignorant

    I watched that live. Very rude newsreader. Towards the end..

    Newsreader: You're not a stranger to riots yourself I understand, you've taken part in riots before?

    Man: I have never taken part in a single riot. I have been on demonstrations that ended up in a conflict. Have some respect for an old West Indian negro and stop accusing me of being a rioter..

    Newsreader: [cuts him off] Thank you for joining us, Darcus Howe, writer and broadcaster.

    13.28 Police are prepared to use plastic bullets if the violence continues tonight, it is being reported.
    Deputy Assistant Commissioner Steve Kavanagh told The Guardian: "If we need to, we will do so."

    Good for her, I've seen her do some terrible interviews with guests trying to give them a hard time, so it's good to see her work for her money!

    last time i watched this much SN was 9/11 :(

    In a twisted way, maybe the rioters are more honest in giving rein to their anti-social urges because half the world appears to be glued to proceedings from their living rooms. Same with football hooliganism and other media to do with violence.

    Someone tripped over the camera cable.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,517 ✭✭✭RobitTV


    You are a genuine idiot.

    Excuse me? there is no need to get angry sir.

    Your opinion means nothing with the word "idiot" in it.

    hipidy hop artist Jaja now on Sky. Jaysus.... It's because they don't have mums and are poor says Jaja....

    Excuses, excuses... is he implying poor people don't have basic morals or something?

    If so, what was Charlie Gilmour's excuse?

    Fatal PC terminology error.

    It should always be The Black Youth.

    More stupid than

    Marshall Law
    Shoot them
    get the Army out


    Posts

    Actually they're quite sensible. A small number of people in society cause this behaviour and terrorise the population at large. Shoot them. End of story. Problem solved. Instead of tryng to make excuses about "disenfranchisement".:rolleyes:

    Did you hear the shop owners response to Kay insisting they couldn't possibly have all been Black:

    "Your right, yeah, everyone there wasn't black, I was the White person there!"

    Sure they only need to bash one head a bit too hard and the whole fire will be stoked right up again. The only people who can stop this are the ones that are dong it.

    I Think more rioters will come out in force tonight with larger numbers, and it will spread further
