there's also the parents who do give a shit but whose kids won't accept their control. Plenty of interviews like that going on lately.

We're not fat like you Americans, a decent quality water pistol can break us in half :C

The stand-in chief commissioner of the london her majesty's police of great britain metropolitan force (or whatever) was talking earlier and said (I paraphrase) "We're going to arrest absolutely everyone who was involved with the rioting".

They're going to need a lot of cells (nod)

90. Manthorp
COMMENT NUMBER 90 IS AN EDITORS' PICK
52 MINUTES AGO
Why are young people going to listen to politicians, when they've been fleecing the expenses system for everything they can take? Why are they going to listen to the legal system, when nobody has been held to account for abuses within the banking system? Why are they going to listen to the police, who have been taking cash from the press to break confidentiality? Who *has* moral authority?

Yes they sure are!

I like this quote:

"We want to make it absolutely clear -- they have nothing to protest against," he said. "There is nothing in a sense of injustice and there has been no spark that has led to this."

I prefer the back of the bus! OMG I'm a negro!

Is yankee a term you use for Americans? Or is it just a North vs South thing here?

Yeah, all Americans are Yanks. Or, more often, 'dumb yanks'.

Do you really call us limeys? I like that, it's such a pretty word.

It's easy to blame left or right for this. But the fact is that there is a large section of the UK that is marginalised, disenfranchised, disaffected, do not feel a part of a community, do not feel like they have any control over their destiny, and do not feel like they will ever amount to anything, all despite living in one of the wealthiest nations on Earth. And it doesn't solve anything to just say "well I came up from a council estate and look at me."

 

They aren't mindless, they are exerting their influence. And as it became clear that it was possible to do so with impunity, it is barely surprising it spread.

 

I'm not condoning looting, but I can understand where it comes from. Burning peoples houses and businesses - the niihlism - is a much more scary idea. I was talking to mates who live just a couple of hundred yards from Reeves Corner while it was up in flames and they were $hitting themselves - there was no justification for that.

I think you're spot on, but the idiotic comments seem to get more attention - like this halfwit ~

OK - enough!
Someone has got to get a grip.
An immediate curfew in town centres after 20.00 hours until 06.00 next morning; anyone caught breaking the curfew to be arrested and kept in custody until a £1,000 fine has been paid (for a first offence). Rising to £10,000 for a subsequent time.
Also, immediate setting up of "Boot Camps".
Yes! I'm serious!

I read a splendid one advocating the police use of bears in riot control.

Though I suppose they may have to introduce quotas to insure that there are a token few black bears among the polar bears...

I was reading about water cannons yesterday, apparently their pressure is so high they pretty much blinded a guy in Germany recently, and they've been known to break bones. People in Northern Ireland were saying they were the best riot-breakers they'd seen in action. I guess the reality must be a bit more impressive than the hosepipes I imagined!

I saw that too - police bears... interesting idea

I don't know who the government think they are "fighting back" against - they don't seem to realise these people are part of their own population

Thanks Jon - I'll give that a read.
