I agree with that 100%. I was commenting on us really, not so much their situation.

That's what I was thinking last night when watching this go down.

You are a bit behind the times. Bobbies have been armed for several years now. They had no choice once the bad guys got them.

NICE!!!!!!

Do you think people check sizes when looting clothing? You know you have a bad business concept when it can't even get looted in London.

RedskinRat · 08-10-2011, 11:15 AM

I like what Uncle Jimbo has to say on the topic:

London is burning and the search is on for a way to avoid the bleedingly obvious, the welfare state has created a class off looters and moochers.

May even be deserving of a separate thread....

Voting in another person (regardless of party) into a corrupt system isn't going to change anything. The system itself needs changing.

Uncle Jimbo is a hack and a complete dumbass. No, he doesn't need his separate thread.

UK riots: Big Brother isn't watching you | UK news | The Guardian

Absolutely amazing article written by Russel Brand of all people. Do yourself a favor and read it. I've included a few paragraphs that stood out to me.

Quote:

I remember Cameron saying "hug a hoodie" but I haven't seen him doing it. Why would he? Hoodies don't vote, they've realised it's pointless, that whoever gets elected will just be a different shade of the "we don't give a toss about you" party.

Politicians don't represent the interests of people who don't vote. They barely care about the people who do vote. They look after the corporations who get them elected. Cameron only spoke out against News International when it became evident to us, US, the people, not to him (like Rose West, "He must've known") that the newspapers Murdoch controlled were happy to desecrate the dead in the pursuit of another exploitative, distracting story.

Quote:

Why am I surprised that these young people behave destructively, "mindlessly", motivated only by self-interest? How should we describe the actions of the city bankers who brought our economy to its knees in 2010? Altruistic? Mindful? Kind? But then again, they do wear suits, so they deserve to be bailed out, perhaps that's why not one of them has been imprisoned. And they got away with a lot more than a few ****ing pairs of trainers.
