Re: Riots
 

I feel sorry for Nick. nobody likes him much. he came to Birmingham the other day and he looked like he was sulking because he got boos.

I don't even know what he was doing whilst Dave was on holiday?

I think Dave will get grilled too. I reckon there's a lot of people wondering if he actually does need this Thursday for him to do his job as Prime Minister.

can he work or think alone?

it makes you wonder if he could actually cope in a real crisis.

His team will stand tall on dodgy foundation thats for sure, theres steps available for him to take so he isn't completely gagged.... YET!

Little Nikki on the other hand can regain a little respect if he put his foot down.

Re: Riots
 

Isolated disturbances, not believed to be connected to to the England riots.

The thread at one point was named 'UK Riots' - that was inaccurate. A number of the newspapers and at one point Sky News were referring to it at 'Riots in the UK".

When things kick off in Belfast it's "trouble in Northern Ireland". When it happens in England it gets referred to as 'UK Riots'.

Not the most significant factor in all this, just pointing out the usual inconsistencies.

Re: Riots
 

Reporting on Sky News ticker that they have arrested someone who took part in that mugging. I hope justice is sweet.

Couple of reports suggest that earlier arrests this week, of some the culprits involved in Monday nights riots have been charged and refused bail and referred to the crown courts, sure looks like they are coming down heavy on these rioters. Time will tell.

Re: Riots
 

British police at their best. Get in! That mugging is disgraceful.

Funny ain't it, most of us oppose the Governments handling of things as it is pretty drastic but this pretty much sums it all up. These rules have to be in place to go in hard against thieves, ****, fraudsters. We couldn't possibly go against it because this happens, no matter what **** always find a way to **** things up.

Re: Riots
 

If that bothers you so much then your time might be better spent pointing out these inconsistencies to those actually responsible for them rather than individual posters making a wider point about the rioting.

Is anyone here suggesting we immediately launch an 'Isolated disturbances, not believed to be connected to the England riots' thread to cover what's happend in Wales?

Re: Riots
 

Refusal of bail is a good step - it means the magistrates have guaranteed them time in the slammer, even if they are subsequently handed a slap-on-the-wrist sentence by a liberal-minded judge. Transferring them to the crown court also means the process takes longer, so more time locked up. Can't say I'm shedding too many tears over that right now.

Of course, certain crimes cannot be tried by a panel of magistrates even if they wanted to, so it may be that the charges are of a more serious nature.

The problem with being on a discussion board is people *will* post opinions that mean little or nothing to you.

Re: Riots
 

Just heard a senior policeman on LBC stating that watercannon are only effective against fixed mobs, not running battles....

Still, should be interesting to see how it works.

Re: Riots
 

Well they can always use it to put fires out. just hope they remember to fill it up with water first.

the whole world will be in stitches otherwise :)

Re: Riots
 

Yea, thought you'd enjoy that :)
I like how they didn't indiscriminately hit the bystander on his bike, they let him explain himself first. It looks like his story checked out.
