    Oh god here we go again - Power to the People....... afternoon Shine166
    By the way, when the discussion started yesterday I never thought for one moment that 3 days later it would still be going on
  • This BBM message has been circulating this afternoon and was picked up by Paul Lewis - the Guardian journo. Sorry about the language.
    "Everyone in edmonton enfield woodgreen everywhere in north link up at enfield town station 4 o clock sharp!!!! Start leaving ur yards n linking up with you niggas. Guck da feds, bring your ballys and your bags trollys, cars vans, hammers the lot!! Keep sending this around to bare man, make sure no snitch boys get dis!!! What ever ends your from put your ballys on link up and cause havic, just rob everything. Police can't stop it. Dead the fires though!! Rebroadcast!!!!!"


    And in ENGLISH ??????

    A few decades ago cockney rhyming slang was developed to allow people to correspond with each other in a langauge that they could immediately understand but others would find unfathomable, also polari and other dialects. This is pretty much the same.
  • This is utterly ridiculous!!!!

    How long can it take to get enough OB to where the trouble is and kettle these pricks in?
  • So...was it a wise move by the gub'mint to make redundant all those firemen and women and reduce the size of the police force?

    What's the problem BFR? The private sector should pick up the slack, if not bring in the volunteers - this is more important than running libraries. Looks like Goonerhater is forming his own private army, so that's a start.

    Police have been given emergency powers in Lambeth, Haringey, Hackney and Enfield to stop and search without any reasonable suspicion.
  • This is getting beyond a joke now - tear gas & arm the police to shoot the feckers.

    Maybe zoom in on his bike and give them a jolly good talking to?

    What I cant understand as I watch Sky is the Police tactics.
    A line of OB are advancing in line abreast.
    A couple of scrotes are standing right in front of them taunting them.
    Utterly unacceptable.

    Riot policing in NI (and why not bring a few of those experts over to help) e had snatch squads for the ring leaders.
    Why is this not happening?

    Same thing last night. Blokes individually lobbing missiles at, and 10 metres away from, line of cops, no rushing out in bricks of four officers to snatch the scum.

    This cant be right.

    To be fair when my old man used to say "wait until I get home" it scared the shit outta me.

    Teresa May sounds like she is sh*tting herself on Sky News at the moment.  Coming across clueless.

    Not that she can do much herself to be fair.

    Can everyone please stop blaming the old bill? There is NOTHING they can do about it - and the pricks know that full well. The first lot of them that baton charge the f***ers and start dishing out pastings will get crucified, and the situation will get worse. You could put ten or ten thousand gavvers there and it still wouldn't make any difference. There is nothing anyone can do about it except let it blow over.
  • Don't think today (at 2 o'clock) was a good time for Mum to go to Lewisham Hospital for an overnight stay/tests.........

    Wonder why they have been planning their response all weekend then?
    Of course there is a lot they can do to minimise the effects and increase public confidence.

    Following your logic they should all just head back to the station.

    This country, that I still love so much, has been slowly going down the tubes since the late 1970's.

    Education, the breakdown of a secure family upbringing, open door immigration, politicians of all parties who spout the same old drivel and treat us all like f*****g idiots.

    About time we looked at the way criminals are treated in the US. If what happened in Tottenham on Saturday had happened in any American city it would have been done and dusted in a couple of hours and those responsible already banged up.

    Thank God my grandchildren are being brought up in the (relative) safety of West Malling.

    The police are quite clearly scared of
    setting everything off more than it already is.



    This was all started because a gun carrying drug dealer was shot, imagine the
    outcry when some poor innocent soon to be premiership football player gets
    battered by the racist police.



    The gang culture within certain communities should have been stamped out years ago;
    this is the result of not doing so.

    What can they do? Give us your suggestions (none of which are allowed to involve violence for fear of inflaming the situation).
  • Might as well head back, any copper that uses his baton nowadays loses his job for police brutality.
