Yet everyone who actually knew him and was close to him is saying how disgusted they are by what's happening. He's just being used as an excuse.

What scum. I hope people doing this get done of incitement.

 

[Mickie]

And people are wondering why they don't going in heavy handed and stop the violence. I'd like to see anyone who thinks those officers could have done anything but retreat.

the police have access to a multitude of armory, they could have stoped them if they were allowed

 

[Dark Sun]

I live on the edge of London and since last night it seems that local police resources such as helicopters are moving into the city.

Cameron, remember the best thought approach... What would Maggie do.

Turn the rioters to stone with her medusa impersonation!

 

[Ceryndrion]

one thing that does occur to me, is that all this destruction, will result in a lot of work being created to rebuild..


Oh and Cameron's statement now at 10:45

" let's beat these londoners and show them how it's done",

that's the same childish mindset of football hooligans wanting to show fans of other teams who's 'harder'. So now it's competitive. Get Cowell in to judge. Britain's Got Thugs.

I can see the Sony fire from my Office (Potters Bar) and its not as fierce as it was this morning at 8.

Slowly dying

Yep. I don't blame the police because I understand that they have one hand tied behind their backs, they risk losing their jobs and even going to prison ultimately, if they hurt a rioter.

 

[magick]

Now the chavs of the nation have learned that being going out en masse the police cant really stop them i wonder what cameroon will do

 

[Cosimo]

Cameron, remember the best thought approach... What would Maggie do.

She's have started to use an iron fist. There would be none of this namby pamby we might hurt a few onlookers approach.

No they do not. I suspect you are taking a few select extreme cases and extrapolating that to every time a police officer touches someone, like a man dying after he was shoved to the ground from behind.

Unfortunately I think this is where Britain is a world leader, we have the world's best (or worst) thugs.
