If it’s classed as a riot then you can claim compensation from the Police apparently. Mentioned by some guy on the BBC. Its a law from 1890 or something.

So he would probably have to do it anyway and is just scoring some brownie points.

and doesnt that just mean we are paying for it. I thought it was our money that they waste..

While it is not ideal, I would rather tax payers money went to help the innocent victims rather that handouts for criminals. If only the latter could be stopped.

I like the way Theresa May is looking so cocky this afternoon.

Bonuses, another thing Labour rallies against, is money OUT OF PROFIT, generated which pays out tax into the UK.

That is a bloody good point that I have never considered!

If the business just held the after tax profits, the government get less money than if they got to tax the bonus paid from those profits.

Just an isolated incident most likely a joke written by a fellow white person.

I hope you don't get ideas because we do not even say ''honky'' or ''black power'', seriously I have never heard anyone say such things and this riot had no racial element. Trust me if we wanted to target whites we would have made that clear 6 days ago and it would be a dumb idea anyways because we're heavily outnumbered.

Who do you mean by "we"?

The person is at the police station now while they look through CCTV footage, the van has it because of the job the person does. It is Racial Hatred whoever it's from!

As in I am black and we don't say ''honky'' or ''black power'' in this country people shouldn't confuse us for Black/African Americans and their LA race riot.

He still does a good job. I like him.

I personally wasn't involved in the riots but I know many who were including family members and their was no racial motivation or care for Mark Duggan they just wanted to gain some free goods.

"Cracker" replaced "honky" in the US a loooong time ago

As do I, best the Torries have had in a long time. I hope this government stays for the 4 years and then the Torries can take control proper.
