I didn't think it was that serious until tonight.

We are another country now Frankie.

We`re not good old England anymore.! All of our rights and rules went out of the window years ago.

Oh come on nothing Maggy - where have I suggested we do that?

Read my post again before making assumptions about something I haven't even suggested or stated.

We use the law and prosecute ,we don't shoot people unless of course they have guns and use them.Then we leave it to the armed police.Once we use troops to keep order we are no longer a democracy.

Anyway I think we are a long way from total anarchy.Most of the UK's citizens are at home tonight feeling disgusted at the minority copy cats rioters.I should think most are online at the moment or watching TV.

Oh I'm leaving this thread before I really lose it.

You forgot the walking sneakers smiley you usually use when you do this...

Wow 3 nights and no sign of water cannons or batton rounds. Just ask the PSNI to borrow theirs.
It will just get worse until the police take control.

A friend on steam just told me a shop near his which is a 180 year old furniture shop and its family ran is all smashed and was looted.

These people!!, don't get me started.

Exactly what it says.. The police at that point in time were just as bad as the rioters.. These days they're a lot more not only accountable but also scrutinized especially with the CCTV and mobile phone camera society we live in today.

It was only after the 80's that police became more squeaky clean

Nope. We're still England and London is still London. Reports in Dalston are that it has calmed down because large numbers of Turkish men are protecting the streets and homes from the mobs. This west Indian woman has a go at some of them here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/blog/20...-live#block-42 fearless.

London is the home to so many different people and screw the people trying to destroy it.

We are England... they are not. I don't want them as a part of this country, They are a disgrace, No Englishman would commit acts of terror upon his own country!

True, as an outsider now digging in Stratford, it's 'interesting' takes some getting used to ( again )
