What's preventing me from encouraging the Army's introduction is their role and capability. Anti-riot and riot suppression isn't exactly on the top of the British Armed Forces list. They could be a potentially useful in deterring the rioters from a show of force standpoint, but when it comes to direct conflict, the Army may not have sufficient training in order to counter this. Sending platoons of lads in, some of them young and inexperienced, may be a bad thing. Unless there's specific sections of the Army devoted to this, I worry what their introduction means, unless there's confidence from the leadership over their ability.

We should send the Irish defence forces they are trained for rioting, they were trained for it in 2009 2010 and now still i suppose.

Most of the least well-off people I know have Blackberries - they're hardly expensive.

Lots of these people would put phones/computer games/gadgets above many essentials.

There is overpaid american baseball players and american footballers and models....dont see any rioting outside Yankee stadium recently.

There is overpaid undertalented people all over the world.

Plenty of poor ordinary working class folk in London trying their best to get on with their lives and dont resort to acting like thugs.

Its not the media's fault,its not sky news fault,its not the governments fault,want someone to blame...then blame the rioters and blame their fcuking parents.

Riots aren't the only symptom of an unequal society. I'd rather the have the disillusioned youth in my country looting and rioting than shooting up schools.

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.

So true. This is not a white vs black issue. I grew up in a mostly white area of England where the exact same scum make life a misery for decent local people. The bulk of the people in London causing bother may happen to be black because the bulk of the poorest in London happen to be black. If this breaks out to Southend and Southampton and Oldham and Bradford then the ethnic make-up of those involved will be different.

Bollox. Media/football players didn't let them out of the house at 2am to riot. It's the parents fault, problem is no one seems to want to come out and blame the parents.

Also to add that rioting is not a modern phenomenon they have been a part of man's history since time began.

Look at this Wiki List of Riots

Israeli Defence Forces & Krav Maga would sort it out.

Interesting the only community standing up together and fighting back is the Indian & Turkish communities, fair play to them.

i didnt say i would.Just the poster was blaming their love of overpaid athletes and that Americans were not as highly paid.
I merely corrected him.

I know people are saying send in the army but ummmm isn't that why there is a war in Lybia, an overthrown government in Egypt and (nearly) tunisia and not forgetting the condemnation of the security council against Syria?

I know not exactly the same but when ANY government sends a military force against its people surely a line has been crossed?

I think the Police are going to get a handle on this today/tonight. all city centres are closing so no place for bystanders to be hanging around, id say there will be plenty of heavy handed police brutality dished out tonight instead of the free for all like last night.

E.T.

Well, the crowd I just saw on the news were kicking in the window of Bang & Olufsen. Obviously a far more sophisticated breed of thug.

Im supposed to head over on Sunday for a weeks placement, will things will be settled down by then surely?

I think they should grab every one of the little wild bastards and make them join the army for a few years to learn some self control and discipline that their parent clearly havent taught them.

Like seriously how badly has that generation been raised that their out looting and burning down everything they fking see :mad:

Yeeps, they would only turn the army on it's own citizens as a last resort. Not a decision to be taken lightly.
