Why is there no trouble in Scotland?

[Giraffe]

Surely there is many poor areas in Glasgow and other cities?

Is there nothing to loot or is it just too cold up there to go out at night?

 

[Pavilionaire]

Why would you loot when you can just stay in the pub?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Probably because they're all smacked out?

 

[Racek]

Its nothing new up there so not on the news.

 

[Deleted member 18477]

because they've come down to england to loot and help smash a place up that isn't theirs?
because they are not disgusting human beings?
because they can't be arsed?
because they have everything they could ever wish for in their homes already?
because they are waiting till the weekend to make a proper night out of it?

f*** knows why!

Ditto the north east. Places like Newcastle & Middlesborough have some of the most deprived areas in the country, but are lacking one essential ingredient.

 

[beorhthelm]

nothing to loot.

seriously though, probably down to an understanding that crapping on their own door step wont help them.

 

[Uncle Buck]

Obviously the Buckfast.

So free Buckfast for all...

 

[Gangsta]

Having spent some time in Glasgow I observed how their underclass seems more preoccupied with attacking other human beings (for no reason at all) rather than property, a strange one that. I wouldn't swap the incidents seen on a saturday afyternoon shopping in Glasgow for what's happened down here. A burnt out car is preferable to being scarred for life. I can assure you they have as many, if not more, scumbad lowlife wasters as we have most of which are skagged up and pissed on Buckie by lunchtime as gangs for these feral boys and girls look for the next victim. (Actually quiet liked Glasgow but for these morons).

Glasgow 95% White

Edinburgh 95.9% White

Scotland as a whole 98.8% white.

Croydon 60% white

Tottenham 64% White

Clapham 78% white

Brixton 49% white

All figures are approximate.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

The riots down here are supposedly because of the great disparity between the richest and the poorest. In Jockyland they all have nothing, so what's the point.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

No real gang culture in most Scottish cities either, as opposed to London, Manchester, Liverpool, Notts, B'ham etc.

It did mildly amuse me today to see an article in The Sun entitled "Riots: Is Rap Music To Blame?"

I was wondering how long it would take before someone attributed four days of thieving and burning on Snoop Dogg. Genius

It's raining

Figures are utter bullshit, rather than 'approximate'.

This colour thing is really f***ing me off.

I blame CRICKET.

Figures are utter bullshit, rather than 'approximate'.

Maybe inaccurate due to being taken from 2001 census but not fabricated.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Make of it what you will but our Head Office is in Glasgow and I asked my colleagues why there wasnt.

Their response was the "police wouldnt have it".

So I will spell it out: the feral youths know they will get a leathering from the police should they try and riot. It seems there is an element of respect for the law.
