    On the contrary, black men were invited from the colonies to come to Britain to help rebuild it after WW2 largely because so many British men were killed in the war and domestic manpower just wasn't there.

    The use of "probably" and "guaranteed" in the same sentence is always a larf sometimes

    So the police leave them to terrorize London till they get bored, or else there's nothing left to burn, right???

    So it's either do nothing or bash heads? Surely the police are more skilled than to only be able to come up with those two options. It's a social/cultural issue not a policing issue. As another poster said on the last page, this kind of thing doesn't break out in wealthy and affluent areas.

    NIce to see a Black youth worker and activist interviewed on the BBC earlier where the interviewer was the one coming out with the PC bull**** and the youth worker calling it like it is. Nothing to do with racism or heavy handed policing and all to do with feral scumbags teens taking advantage of the situation. That its not about poverty or deprivation but down to the 'human rights' soft touch policing and telling this kids all about their rights but not telling them about their responsibility. etc etc Then the stupid bint interviewer pics up on his use of the words "targetting appropriate shops" totally misinterpreting his meaning. She has a go at him like as if he had said they should only be targetting rich peoples shops. What he actually meant and it was obvious to everyone except the stupid bint was that the scumbags were mainly targetting the shops that had the gear they wanted like TV shops, Sportswear shops, offies for the booze and newsagents for the fags. 'Appropriate'. Sure he used the wrong words but given the context of the rest of his sentance nevermind the rest of what he was saying it was obvious what he meant. Alas, one doesn't need a high IQ to be a journalist or newsreader these days. You just need to be able to read and write :rolleyes:

    Well, with a name like that, I'm not really surprised. I'm also not surprised that his post isn't very well thought out or factually informed. Such is the way with racism.

    Tory MEP rebuked: "Roger ffs, not out loud!"
    A Tory MEP was rebuked by the party today after suggesting that looters and arsonists taking part in riots should be shot on sight by the Army.

    As Prime Minister David Cameron chaired a meeting of the Government’s emergency committee, Roger Helmer posted on Twitter: “Memo to COBRA: Time to get tough. Bring in the Army. Shoot looters and arsonists on sight.”

    Challenged over his hardline stance, he later added: “Let’s try water cannon/plastic rounds first. But if the police lose control completely, tougher measures are called for.”

    A Conservative Party spokesman said: “We totally dissociate ourselves from these comments.”

    Bloody Nokia predictive text. I only texted a few of my North London mates asking if they fancied a pint.

    Wasn't this moron banned already?

    By the way, you should get your eyes checked, there are plenty of white guys involved.

    I care more about my face than insured jewelry.. Fair feks to her but if that was you or me instead of an old woman, we'd have had that bat lodged in our face.

    Latest updates from the guardian

    14.00 Unconfirmed reports of riots breaking out in West Bromwich and the town centre being sealed off. Also reports that offices and shops in Wolverhampton have been put on high alert.

    14.05 We're getting initial reports that shops and banks in Uxbridge are closing down following rumours of a riot planned for 3pm. Around 100 officers are in the town centre.

    Heidi Blake is on the road in south London.
    Panic is spreading quickly around south east London, with shops closing their shutters and boarding up their doors in Peckham, Depford and Greenwich as looting warnings circulate. But driving through the streets there is little sign of trouble, with just a few groups of youths drifting around apparently aimlessly.
