@Hugh, to be honest, that sign probably isn't far from the truth, hence my earlier comment about moving to an island. :P

From today onwards the media should be part to blame due to the hype they have given the situation. The **** know they are now getting the attention they want so they'll continue to act.

It seems that the infighting has started?

Quote:

2138: Graham Stringer, Labour MP for Blackley and Broughton, a constituency which crosses Manchester and Salford, says the authorities have known for most of the day that "the people behind this criminal behaviour have been organising and the police were prepared".
"While I'm not prepared to say the police have got it wrong until I know all the facts, certainly the police have a lot of questions to answer about why there is a shop on fire, why there's been a lot of damage to property, why businesses have been closed down and people are having their employment threatened in this way," he says.

Why?

If it is not the media, it would be YouTube etc.

No win situation imo.

YouTube could easily take these videos down though. Any source that is moderated and is not taking action against the promotion of these riots are to blame. If the moderators on a forum dedicated to cable television are editing comments why the - can't YouTube edit their content.

Yes this is very true and I think that it is disgusting as they should all be working together to resolve what is going on:(
