"Working class"? I would lay down serious money that the majority of the looters/rioters are on wellfare...

They are still the working class, just because the wealthy have taken worth while jobs and opportunity from them preventing them from being able to get good honest work and trapped in the never ending cycle of poverty, doesn't make them any less so

This is pathetic from the Police, so they are releasing picture taken from CCTV quality images and asking people to what...grass their mates up?

Th MET should be absolutely ashamed.

What are you talking about? They're asking the public for help in identifying and bringing these people to justice. It doesn't have be "their mates" does it? It could be a school teacher that recognises them, a dentist, a doctor, a shop worker, a cafe owner, a football coach, a litter picker - any one. And i think the Met are being pro active and modern in their ways to reach out to the public.

Why don't you think about what you say next time, and not criticise people when you have no clue about how anything works? :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

OMG Y DO DEY EVN BOTHER SHOWING CRIME WACH!! DEY AINT GONNA GRASS DER M8S UP ARE DEY!? DA BBC SHOLD BE ASHAMEDD!!!!!11111
 
using plastic bullets etc... is a reactive method, I'm more interested in getting to the root cause and stopping this flaring up ever again...

Whilst I think they all deserve a pelting (they're criminals after all!) and deserve to spend the next few months/years rebuilding the communities and areas they've trashed - that's an immediate "stop doing that" action. I'm all for giving them a clip round the ear, so to speak. However, long term, we need a different solution to this problem. It won't go away unfortunately until something more robust is done with the communities - that's where we need strong leaders to guide, and educate these kids into learning to be one nation not a multitude of small ones.

True, we really need some sort of low key engineering going on to insight them into doing something creative rather than destructive.

Having the service sector being the main job base is very dangerous since no one really "needs" to have haircut done by pros for example.

Unfortunately education isn't getting better, its only getting worse...i cant see how this will be solved with the way things are economy wise.
 
LOL at Sky news feed right now. Shop owner got text last night about his shop being done over then went round to see and he said live on TV, "about 100-200 Black youths with hoodies on where rampaging round the streets" the reporter said " hope you're not being stereotypical" shop owner said No I was wearing a hoodie too. Then the reporter said "I'm sure they weren't all black people on the streets" shop owner said "no, I was the only white guy" interview got cut off after a few more seconds..

Yep, Kay Burley being her usual self. She was basically telling the guy what HE saw. :rolleyes:

Yeah I thought that was lol worthy!
 
Great video! :)

Do you know what happened to the unconscious guy on the pavement?

Sorry mate, I did not see that particular incident. I didn't spot whoever was filming that video either, lots of bystanders and people watching and I cleared off home as per advice from the police once it started kicking off.
 
Theirs complete and utter inability to do anything at the time!
Standing about whilst shops where looted, im not talking about the men on the ground, but clearly there was absolutely no educated co ordination at the top.
THey looked like they literally had no idea what to do.

They knew exactly what to do. Hold the line and prevent the rioters from spreading.

Wait so those SCUM looting TVs are 'working class' - I bet most of them have never worked a day in their lives and fully intend never to work if they can get away with it.

They couldn't do anything. They were amazingly outnumbered, out armed and ill equipped. They couldn't intervene because it would descend into a total bloodbath.

You expect a few officers with truncheons to take on a baying mob in their thousands? Get a grip.
 
This is the working class revolting against the police, who are the immediate strong arm of the State that recently and increasingly wishes to contain youth and the poor with prisons and austerity. Looting is an act of breaking the windows that hold people from the commodities they desire. This isn't to say that looting is a positive act of transcendence of the present order, because it conforms to dangerous consumerism. But the looter deserves a luxury good just as much as the buyer.

The working class is nasty. What do you expect after decades of neoliberalism?

I can't help but comment on the sheer joy the rioters express. How good must it feel to fight back against the police who bother you daily and terrorize your community regularly? They laugh, swigging liquor with their friends as they take the **** they've always wanted but could never afford.

What non sense, you are intellectualizing thuggery. These guys probably could not even spell transcendence or even know what neoliberalism is. They got their new phones and shoes and threw some bricks at the police, they got what they wanted. simples.

Leave it to the marxists and socialists to make this about a class struggle or some other non sense, oh the poor guys are not getting free stuff like they used to so they decided to smash windows.

oh wait but smashing windows is good for the economy right ?

broken window fallacy, god damn labourists or socialists, you make me sick.
 
Multiculturalism and multiracialism has destroyed the social fabric of this country.

Multiculturalism and multiracialism has destroyed the social fabric of this country.

It may have attributed to this but it certainly isn’t the cause. Take away Multi-culturalism and you would still have stuff like this happening with the neds and chavs. Do you really think the regularly drunk Adidas bottom and hoody wearing white youth would do anything decent otherwise?

Please.

These kids have seen an opportnity to loot shops and do it with their mates. Nothing more than that. There is no reasonable motive but only a blatant disregard for property and other people's quality of life for these youths. they don't give a damn about their living environments.
 
I personally hope that it is made clear to the parents of kids in these areas that if their kids are picked up it is the PARENTS who will be up for prosecution too. I think under the circumstances, any parent that allows their child out of the house tonight is giving them a green light to bring home some new pumps, a new TV or some nice new jewelry.
Lets be honest. Most of these looters are kids and their parents MUST know what is going on.
A country of sponging thieves with no morals or respect for others is what we have created. Just one more thing, aren't these the "poor and vulnerable in society" that messrs Blair & Brown pandered to?
