    Breaking news:

    As a last ditch attempt to mellow out the rioters, David Cameron is to drive an ice-cream van through London tonight.
    He will be aided by Howard Marks who upon kicking the rear van doors open will hang out and shower Hindu Kush spliffs upon the proles.

    God speed, you heroes.

    10,000 extra cops, so 16,000 altogether.

    Whatever about water cannons and rubber bullets, I want the police to use batons and just ****ing hit people

    But what happens when the people they hit shoot back?

    Massive amount of guns in London

    Eh? How are they possibly going to know?

    I don't imagine a looter listing on eBay: "32 inch LG TV - brand new - just looted from Currys yesterday".

    It will be fairly obvious if the seller is newly registered, has zero feedback, is selling 12 TV's and 20 Ipads and has a username something like SMA5HER100.

    16,000. Great. How many will be trained to deal with a riot? And how many will be community officers?

    Stupid Cameron.

    im going to have to ask again. what the hell are you on about.

    since we are all tabloid reading right wing sheep, please enlighten us as to the reasons and aims of this 'protest'.

    just please dont use any big words, our uneducted working class brains might get hurt

    Go find the vid of Darkus Howe being ridiculed on the BBC. Says it all really, 'don't you dare try and analyse this...we demand your condemnations' when the establishment couldn't get their pound of flesh....accuse him of rioting :rolleyes: At the moment they are winning the PR war, the sheep are bleating for blood.

    RTE have issued a statement because of 100's of phone calls into the Joe Duffy show.


    " There has been NO rioting in Finglas in the past few days,Finglas looks like this all the time. "

    They're so poor and disadvantaged yet they all have blackberrys


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,556 ✭✭✭UpTheSlashers


    Most of the looters and rioters are black, most of the people affected and cleaning up are white.

    Yeah your right, they should have just left it the way it was last night with 6000 cops on the ground. What possibly could over double that number do?

    the reactionary hate filled bile on AH is media fuelled. Tabloid media fuelled.

    I blame the Irish education system for a generation of people who don't care, who are as irresponsible as those looters, because they choose NOT to have freedom of mind...the 'I'm alright Jack....you get back in line', school of politics.:rolleyes:


    "Anyway, I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobody's around - nobody big, I mean - except me. And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff - I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be."

    ...and you'll read a lot of people on here condemning the BBC treatment of Howe.

    You still haven't addressed the need for parental control of these 'rioters'.

    You blame the media, the Government but what about these kids parents?

    I blame idleness - 200 years ago all the scumbags would have been forced to join the British Army and sent out to the colonies to kick some native a$$ and expend their energies - the decline of the British Empire has culminated in the lowest dregs of society finally realizing that the authorities are feeble and rudderless, just look at the wringing of hands in Washington and Berlin recently.

    So you're advocating imperialism, genocide, and expansionism? Grand for the immediate benefits of the state, but in the long run, it leads to collapse. Look at the fall of the British Empire, or Nazi Germany etc.
    Even though I know it a pile of old hokum, the time is ripe for the Anti Christ to show up, just like Hitler did in the '30s. Disenchantment with the status quo is prevalent world-wide. Nothing that World War 3 wouldn't sort out.

    So you want the introduction of WWIII, a conflict that will mean doubling, tripling, even more damage than WWII?

    Can't believe if you're actually serious.

    Lol at your brain:D
    So we're clear then,neither "starvation" nor "3rd world" conditions were ever actually mentioned on the blog,you just said they were to suit your thoughts.

    Not true.

    This has been a truly multicultural collection of scummers.

    I watched him last night and thought to myself that if this is the type of figure that that community looks up to its no wonder they are rioting, , blaming the riots on stop and search!!!!!!!!! he is nothing but an idiot

    so in other words. no, you cant back up any of the nonsense you've stated here about it being a protest or explain it.

    if you havent noticed the people calling for 'blood' as you put it are ordinary good london people afraid of their lives that they wont get burned in their beds. except theyre not calling for blood their calling for protection

    PR war? my god. You are the only one naive enough to defend the behaviour of this rabble.

    A lot actually, but how many of them are trained to deal with riots? That was my point.

    What's the largest thread in After Hours?

    Will we crack the record with this one? :)

    Most of the looters and rioters are black, most of the people affected and cleaning up are white.

    Most of the rioting was done at night - dark
    Most of the cleaning was done during the day - bright
