A lot of people are starting to link this to the Tories and spending cuts!

Reports saying kids as young as 8 years old are joining the fray.

Why are they "protesting"?

buchtis · 6 Aug 2011 at 23:34

Why is everyone watching this on Sky? Isn't Sky the English equivalent of Fox News i.e utter garbage?

David Akinsaya, local journo, says there are school kids running around out there and more rioters are walking into the area.

It has absolutely nothing to do with any cuts.

2001 Census says:

White: 55.1%
Black: 28.6%
Asian: 7.6%
Mixed: 4.9%
Other: 3.7%

I doubt all white people have left in 10 years.

Is that under Haringey? All i can say is from my house to the riot area other than a few White British the rest are all Polish.

Well they know who to go to to rebuild the damaged shop then.

So why is London rioting yet again?

This sort of repeated behaviour is rather pathetic.

Huh? From what i am hearing a police was shot at and it hit his radio, not that the crim had a radio.

My mistake, the web pages are changing every minute, originally it said a police radio and a handgun were recovered.

Edit Sky News live online http://news.sky.com/sky-news/app/liveTV/liveTv.html

Does it play good FPS?

Let me guess- black person shot by police?

Any looters should be shot and any parents of young children prosecuted for letting their little pathetic hoodie wearing 7,8,9 year olds being out in the area.

It's just "kids" taking advantage of the Police's stand-off stance.

Why do the police still bother with Horses?

explicit4u · 6 Aug 2011 at 23:38

Some idiots are throwing fireworks into the crowd!

Dunno, gunships with chainguns attached would be my preference.

Vantage, size, power, speed, intimidation...

fini · 6 Aug 2011 at 23:38

Idiot protestor on LBC trying to justify everything on the basis that the police wouldn't allow the family to report the idiot that was killed's death as a murder. What a stupid demand to make.
