Pretty certain that question was answered earlier :)

to quote a mod edit from earlier

re: England Riots August 2011 (Was London Riots)
 

Why?

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

No win situation imo.

re: England Riots August 2011 (Was London Riots)
 

Its typical when they think they can get a dig in.

re: England Riots August 2011 (Was London Riots)
 

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.

No link to this but Sky sources are saying Cops have arrested a 21 year old man for the arson attack on the Reeves building in which fire gutted the entire block in Croydon. I hope they throw the book at him - It was a family run business through five generations of family, it survived two World Wars, yet was destroyed in an instant in the night of madness.

Hello Rioters
Look at your Friend, now back to me
Now at your friend, now back to me
Sadly, he isn't me
But if he stopped using petrol bombs
...And started using Job centre he could potentially be me
Look down, Back up. Where are we?
You're at an interview with the man your friend could work for.
What's in your hand? Back at me.
I have it. It's an application form to that job you need.
Look again. The form is now money.
Anything is possible when you get a job and stop looting.
