So in 2008 a guy in London is shot at 11 times by Police "marksmen" he is hit 5 times and dies. Obill wouldnt let him to speak to his wife although he asked to speak to her and she wanted to speak to him. He was assured that OBill would not open fire. He pointed the gun and was shot-----------no riot----no marches-----no Red Wedge giving it "its everyones fault".
Cheers Friends or Defoe..... nothing that i can see going on at moment so iits prob a false rumour and i would have thought old bill would have warned us by now
Nearest thing I've ever seen to recreational rioting in my lifetime. All very depressing and a bit scary. The only winner that will emerge from this awful mess will be the BNP and that's even scarier.

Fully agree. The police can control the majority of major incidents these days which have a xertain element of planning or risk in advance. What they can't deal with is being spread far and wide with little planning, which the opportunistic are now trying to take advantage of. This sadly has the potential to run further.
The only saving grace is the widespread level of cctv in town centres. Won't stop anything, but some definately will be picked up in the aftermath as a result.
Friend of mine in Birmingham has said he's got a BBM with talking of similar scenes up there, few people on social media sites hearing the same news. These riots are showing youths everywhere that you can get away with this behaviour.
Curb It - the footage is allegedly what has caused all of this mayhem. It appears a 16 year old girl approached the riot Police line, was screamimg abuse at them and then threw either a bottle or a large stone at them. Quite justifiably she was physically detained and was put on the ground, sparking the chav reaction and then the need to steal and damage property on a city wide scale - reasonable? I think not.
that video paul doesnt really make sense apart from some woman screaming its a gurl - cant even see whats going on.
Yes water cannons might be an idea.
That's supposed to be the flashpoint that started it. a 16yr old girl taken out by a group of police. A journo that was in line with the police reckons she approached, hurled abuse & then hurled a placard and brick. Of course, the story that quickly spread was "Police mob takes out innocent 16yr old girl"....
Mate of mine came out of a club in Brixton last night to mass mayhem. Said local yoots were running around in masks, fighting each other. Saw some bloke waving a gun around. Sounded like she was pretty terrified.
The youth culture we have in this country was always going to reach a boiling point. Not gonna be fixed anytime soon. Or ever.
Water cannons were approved for use in December 2010 by Theresa May after the student riots and the attack on Prince Charles's car. Rothko is right though, they have limited use and not really ideal for prolonged situations.

When it looks this easy, no wonder it's spreading.

We certainly don't have the prison space to lock everyone involved up. More pointless tags and broken curfews I fear.
Hope they've been innoculated, no telling what horrible diseases these dogs could pick up ;-)
