Anyone just see the bloke on Sky News filming on his phone in Clapham?
f***ing scary stuff. Brave man filming and confronting people.
Seemed to end rather sharply. Hope he's alright.

Just watched that now, looks bloody terrifying. Amazes me the amount of girls on the streets there too.

Defence bloke on sky said only water cannons available are in northern ireland!!

Thats what I was referring to. Get them on the midnight ferry to Liverpool.

The PSNI have lent them to the Garda Siochana down here so they'll definitely be willing to lend them to the Met.

I was thinking the same thing. There's a bit of footage of a branch of Monsoon being broken into in Birmingham, and a couple of teenage girls laughing and pointing out the things they want nicked.

I thought the opposite, it was just a load of kids vandalising things, there wasn't much rage there judging by the laughter in the background. The only reason they're doing it is because there's no police about to stop them.

and imagine the joy they will get from youtube-makes me sick

Anyone else feeling strangely upset by all of this?

It's difficult to understand that this is going on in OUR country.

Not just strangely upset Darren-I'm f***ing livid!

Society needs a major overhaul-if this country is mature enough to carry it out.

Not upset. Just extremely angry that this has gone on for three days now and it seems to be getting worse. These rioters have crossed the line and must face the consequences.

Sadly I didn't say that as a joke and having seen some of the CCTV footage from yesterday it is clear that it isn't only 'yoofs' doing the looting.

I know. I only wish you had been able to crack an ironic gag about such things, but the time for that has long since gone unfortunately. :(

Fuckin hell. The sooner the BNP win seats the better and get the vermin out of our country the better. :angry: There's going to be serious repercussions.

What you mean all those white kids that are just as involved as anyone else. Moron.

I feel sorry for the family of the guy who was killed. Regardless of what happened, which is still very unclear, all of this is going to be associated with his death, which is undoubtedly hard enough as it is.

What consequences? What will happen to them if they get arrested? A small percentage might get charged & those that are will get a slap on the wrist. No discipline in society coupled with rank bad parenting & a lack of personal responsibility leads to all this. But as parents (& teachers) ar eunable to discipline kids its hardly surprising.

I'm just surprised, with the general stupidity and lack of discipline in the majority of the inner city youth these days, that this hasn't happened sooner - or that anyone is surprised by it. It's nothing to do with the Police shooting the other day, it's just because kids have realised that they can do it and get away with it - particularly when it happens en masse in many different areas at once.

we would make a prime target for a take over from another country right now-troops millions of miles away(though they do have good reason)so make that not enough troops back here-years of weakness from liberal views and human rights campaigners,no discipline,far too many foreigner immigrants in a short period of time,people gauging themselves on all sorts of holidays,treats and tit bit's.

Coupled with a few riots and we're set.......soft as shit once Great Britain is taken over from the inside out.

I'm sure most of them have no idea what they are even rioting for...

They're not rioting FOR anything. The are rioting because they can, because the police cannot contain the numbers of separate incidents. And because they all have Blackberry's to to message eachother where there are no old bill. Blackberry should shut down their BBM service for starters.
