Regardless of people's thoughts can we please steer away from race. Thanks.
Don't agree, it's part of the issue here with a minority of people from a particular race making up a significant proportion of the rioters, how can it be ignored. Will you see it kicking off in Wembley and Hounslow tonight? Don't think so.
Mate when football fans kick off big time it aint a white issue even though the majority are white.
The black friends and family i have are as disgusted with the scum as i am....just cos the animals are the same colour doesnt mean that colour of their skin is an issue.

Thank you WSS.
Agreed. Decent people of all races and classes should be out there now battering these herberts. More of us than them.
Will be sick to my stomach if this gets brushed over by politicians. Will do though until they start rioting in Hampstead and Westminster.
Agree
But you can't hide that fact that when your watching it on the news. Tottenham, Peckham etc majority are of a certain race. I've got black friends who are as good as gold and wouldn't hurt a fly but let's be honest who is it usually in knife fights, gun fights hanging around in gangs
Going to leave it there because it will only go on for days
I'm sitting here in Leicestershire completely pixxed off at what I'm seeing happening to my home town.....I agree with the statement that perhaps ordinary law abiding citizens came out on the streets and stopped this, the OB seems powerless...Mrs May keeps saying this cant be tolerated...and yet nothing seems to be happening....why should these people ruin everyone's else's hardwork/businesses etc. You all know my story re having no money or work for 19 months....but I didn't find an excuse to go bloody rioting....I'm incensed and angry that people are doing this.....I echo the call to bring back national service....that'll sort them out believe me!!
Above all it's embarrising. I know it's not a race issue as there are all sorts of scum. BUT this isn't the British way and wouldn't have dreamed of happening 40 years ago. It is a way of life brought into society and the country.

They are just utter scum.
I think you'll find that lads who ruck at football are often reported in the media etc as 'white working class', when in plenty of instances that might not be the case.
I never said the colour of the skin is a reason for the rioting, it's just that there is no coincidence a significant proportion of the rioters come from a particular ethnic minority. I'm willing to bet many of the rioters are involved in gangs which plague many of the areas that are affected with these troubles. Unfortunately years and years of a justice system undermining the police and their actions has deprived the communities in these areas of a presence to deal with local problems. Everyone knows these gangs cause trouble, these last few days has just been an excuse for them to do it on a much wider scale. Maybe it'll open a few eyes to the scale of the problem ordinary, decent, law-abiding Londoners face.
Then the normal man in the street needs to fight back or lose the streets WE ARE MORE THAN THEM in so many ways
100% up for that. .
Needs to be a real change in society otherwise the lunatics will be running the asylum. If all decent folk from whatever background stuck together (rather than be divisive about the details) and stood up against these mugs they would be scurrying back under their stones pretty quickly. Utter cowardly bullies without a pair of bollox between them.
Look, I have my own views as well and everything but we can't allow this thread to degenerate into a a ridiculous tit-for-tat debate. This is affecting people on this board so just let's leave it there.
The likelihood is, is that if you have a particular opinion about a certain race etc - you don't need to articulate it on here. People know what people think on both sides of the argument. It's been done to death.
I can see this ending in some race war. Whatever forum you go on, whatever news website you look at people are saying the same thing about who is responsible.
