[Southie]

Cracking photos of a scary time, your avatar seems quite apt though as a disguise in all the madness that's been going on.

[Mike]

As cool as the photos are, I would seriously advise staying away :S

Its currently going off the funking chain around 3 miles from me :S and Birmingham city centre (18mile ish) is just a no go area now! Along with West Brom (6 mile - was only in the high st this morning, now its a war zone on BBC news!). The mailbox has been done over & New St station :( all the buses, trains & trams between here & Birmingham city centre have been stopped :S the roads are suspciously quite aswell :(

[Edd]

Fooking scum the lot of them

Probably unemployed sewer rats

Absolutely no point to it whatsoever, all the coonts doing it will probably want to use the shops their burning down next week ffs

I hope the police get brutal on them all tonight

What a good job I live down in the rural south west lol

[Andy]

its apparently hit the floor in Wolvo aswell according to news 24

[nova_saloon]

[Mike]

There was a police chief bloke on the telly sayin that water cannons and other extreme tactics were too violent and didnt put across the right image :S i say bollocks give em what they feckin deserve, show em a bit of brutality and they wont do it again!

[paul james]

Just seen some pleb on TV "I aint got no food man, I'm starvin bruv you get me" being the reason for rioting, all the while displaying no visible signs of malnutrition of course. These useless excuses for human beings don't know how lucky they are, no doubt unemployed and given hand outs by the state. They should be rounded up, flown over and dropped off in some merciless dictator country and told to carry on their antics there.

[Hobbit]

Was listening to radio one today and they were interviewing the yoofs. Reasons given were bordem, being skint init. Couple of years national service would sort that out :d

I heard that, he was a utter c**t. "i'm poor, so this is making me money*

The interviewer should have shot him then and there.

[Mike]

Mate there like fcuking locost's, stripping the town centre of everything of any value.

[Southie]

Tonight local to me was supposed to be a night of something that's going to kick off, it's ten years since the Bradford riots so I hope all this nonsence doesn't kick start another region of idiots.

[nova gsi ian]

Seriously , what is this country coming too!, scum teenage gangs , knife and gang crime!, the goverment knew all this was going to come on top as soon as they opened the floodgates to the EU, they aint F..K...G stupid,....... its obvious unemployment would sore, the crime statistics in London have gone absolutely mental since they allowed the flow to come in from europe, the country as a whole has become inundated with scum teenagers with no respect who hang around in gangs intimidating decent people!........And its the goverment thats to blame!.......overpopulating the country leads to heavy unemployment crime rising due to no work or money , which leads to boredom crime anti social behaviour and general scum activity....I PERSONALLY BELIEVE THAT THEY SHOULD BRING BACK 12 MONTHS COMPULSERY NATIONAL SERVICE TO INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE NOT WORKING AFTER 12 MONTHS OF LEAVING FULL TIME EDUCATION,..GET THEM DISCIPLINED AND DRUMB IT INTO THEM ...

[Tanya.]

It's spreading across the country so quickly! There are gangs gathering in Basildon as well now.

[ryansnova]

thank god i stay away up in sunny scotland lol

[Bubba]

we are too busy munching pasties lol we'll riot dreckly (2014)

[Jack]

LMFAO national service wouldn't work. We'd just end up with a load of mugwumps fcuking things up in warzones then as well.

Neither would calling in the army. I'm sure Libya would love the irony there lol

I did laugh at the pics on the news last night of the rioters (none of which looked a day over 21 btw) all ganging up, jeering the police, throwing rocks and other stuff (with horrendous aim it has to be said), shouting etc... then as soon as the police line advanced - jeebus, I've never seen people run like a bunch of chickens so fast in all my life. Real hard men them rioters, well done lol

Its nothing to do with poverty, hunger, the guy getting shot at the start etc - its just people jumping on the bandwagon because the police have been slow to react. As soon as the fuzz show up, most of them run like the little children they are.



....there was a blonde woman on the telly last night though, some shop owner; had massive wabs. lol

[Andy]

There was a truly epic part of the Manchester coverage last night where plod swung his bat straight into a lad and his lass.It was just brilliant viewing.Thats how its done you pathetic cockney plastic riot police-no special vans just fukkin smash the cunnts.

[Riggy]

^^ lol yeah was good seeing that ,

it went off in our town centre last night , all shops closed early , so they smashed McDonnalds up FFS , then set fire to the old baby world

[Nebbz]

this riot crap has gone way out of hand......so much so ive moved my nova to the farm where i keep my horses just incase it comes to my town being its so blooming close to bristol! aint having the nova touched hahaha.

I must remember to look at this thread when i get home and i can see the pictures. as cant see them in work!

[Edd]

Water cannon and plastic bullets can now be used the PM has just said

Few days to late I think lol

[Hobbit]

It'll all start calming down now anyway. The weather is turning and rioting is a fair weather sport.

[Jack]

^ Hayley said that last night too. A bit of rain, that'll be enough to end the disruption!

Water cannon is just a PR thing IMO. They're on 24hr notice, and tbh in the centre of London and most other big cities, they'll be next to useless due to the cramped conditions. Especially as the crowds are moving too fast. And you'll probably find NI will kick off then too, as iirc they're either in or just about to have their marching season?

LMFAO baby world & McD's - probably hit them as its the two primary establishments they recognise.

Considering Boeing want our office all to move to Bristol, I might email them a link to the BBC news (actually, make that CNN as otherwise they don't believe it lol) reports of rioting in the city

[nova_saloon]

Yeh i didnt get much why they run away, if when the mob was in force they all ran to the line of 20 police, they police would of run like hell or got mauled. they are pretty dum to be fair. took them this long to realise in the bigger number you can do what you want. but by all means doesnt give you the right to do it.

Going in that night made me so disgusted by that. i drove past Reeves (plaace that got burnt down) quite a number of times, and for it to be destroyed like that, its insane, there ****ting on there own doorstep. then have the cheek to demand respect from us because they dont get it in return. If you do that your not getting respect, if you break the law, you dont get any respect!

[Andy]

Water cannons,what a joke,every body loves water fights-what if the gutter snakes come back with these???

[Hobbit]

Filled with piss?

[Jack]

BBC ran an interesting article here (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-14494824)


Considering the latest incidents in Britain, suppression of protests and other measures, which are clear proof of human rights violations, will the United Nations issue a warning on human rights to one of the permanent members of its Security Council?
Errr WTF? Supression of protests? No, supression of riots mate, not protests. No wonder the Middle East is so fcuked up if they can't tell the difference between the two :roll:

This pretty much hit the nail on the head though

This is not a revolution as far as one can understand. There is no social ideology behind the masses... A whole generation of children grew up and enjoys the fruit of the welfare state without a real understanding of the magnitude of the privilege they won thanks to the toil of the sons of the big reform generation following World War II.
Makes you wonder if those teenagers actually bothered to listen in their history classes at school and know the slightest thing about the various wars that threatened our very way of life and those who fought to defend it. Churchill and chums are probably spinning in their graves at all this :roll:

[ryansnova]

i think that croydon gumtree will be over loaded with bargans lol

[nova_saloon]

apparently police batons sales went up 700% on amazon, since the start of it all lol. but ti be fair that could just be 700 purchases, which is alot of batons still

[Hobbit]

700%? pah, baseball bat sales went up by something like 5000% lol

[nova_saloon]

700%? pah, baseball bat sales went up by something like 5000% lol

baaahaha

[Rich]

Cant beleive you started that fire! naughty naughty!
