London is burning

The dailymail. How surprising

 

Fair play to all the decent parents for making their kids hand them self into the police .

 

Sure.
I feel sorry for people who died.
I saw 100 000 people had signed a petition. They want to abolish welfare and unemployment benefits for people who did these things. Anti immigrant politics I think.
I hate violence and these things are awful and disgusting.
But if immigrants and their descendants do these things...Hmmm, let the English see how it is when someone destroy your land. They have done that for years. They have explored African and Asian colonies, and now it is pay-back time. Sounds awful, I know, but unfortunately, it is reality.

 

Nice Sentiment with all the signatures etc but two wrongs dont make a right.

 

I wrote I hated violence as someone who suffers from hematophobia and not just because of it.
it is a sad true. Some Pakistani lads told me they thought that.

 

I see one of the rioters was a lass who would have been an athlete at next years Olympics

 

16-year-old boy arrested on suspicion of the murder of 68-year-old Richard Bowes in Ealing during London riots.

Scum

 

when I was a kid everyone really feared and respected the police. You wouldnt dream of cheeking them. That has gone. I am glad the guys swearing and abusing cops are getting nailed. I was impressed recently by the reality show Coppers where the Wakefield cops really took no * or cheek. However that doesnt seem to be the norm.

 

i know what you mean, gunt. it was the same at school. i used to be scared of the kids older than me but that seemed to change when i was in my last year.

that Coppers was a great doc. hope they do a follow up to it.

 

Is this still going on? Or has it died down?

 

That's the problem. Kids the world over will always test adults as to where the boundaries of acceptable behaviour lie. Problem in UK is that in the main the Police have ceased to be a force of law and order and morphed into the plaything of politicians who are more interested in not offending anyone lest they be accused of one of the "isms".

The UK needs to take a long, hard look at itself in the mirror and realise that they've just witnessed the first signs of a society which can very easily drift into meltdown. Unless the Police are actually allowed to do their jobs and implement the rule of law we'll see more and more civil unrest. The scary scenario is that multiple rioting, looting (and worse) will break out simultaneously in various large cities around the country. I honestly believe that the Police do not have the resources to suppress such events.

I know a lot of people on here called for the army to be put on the streets, but the moment you put your armed forces on the street, you cease to be a democracy and then enter the realms of dictatorship. It's a very slippery slope!

 

Hah, *.

 

A TEENAGER collared by cops BEFORE he could swipe cigarettes from a ransacked shop was locked up for two years yesterday.
The tough sentence handed to 18-year-old Michael Gillespie-Doyle came as David Cameron backed the continuing court crackdown on rioting thugs.

Insane

 

Is that the shop owner who speared him?
I would do the same, wee *.

 

Some of the sentences being handed out are * ridiculously harsh

 

really?

 

Two years in jail for thinking about stealing cigarettes?

There's * child molesters getting shorter sentences than that.

This country is seriously * up.

Perhaps it would have been better if the rioters had just torched the whole shithouse, and we could start again from scratch.

 

People have got less time for slashing *

 

You have to love the British police, do nothing for a few days and then start handing out silly sentances to a few people to make it look like they are getting tough on crime. Whats funny is I bet the put away murderers and pedophiles for shorter sentances than some of these guys

 

2 * years for thinking about stealing someting that costs about what?, 6 pound?


Ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous.
