Croydon Riots. I went in

[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]

^^ 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!

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

Few days to late I think

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

^ 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 ) reports of rioting in the city

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!

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



or these LMMFAO

[Hobbit]

Filled with piss?

[Jack]

BBC ran an interesting article here

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

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
