News Tottenham riots

[ilaya]

ofc it'll stop!! dave and boris are coming home to sort this shit out!

 

[Doh_boy]

Reporter talking bollocks IMO rynnor, organised flashmobs for looting and nothing else.

This was the main way of doing it, apparently.

Guardian Linky

Never had a blackberry but I'm assuming it's just posh texts?

 

[caLLous]

Those are two very unpleasant words in this day and age in our "civilised" country.

 

[MYstIC G]

Days like today remind me why I love living in Croydon.

Honest.

curfew and the army.

It's what should have happened yesterday, Cameron should have come back on saturday and organised COBRA and after sunday should have brought in the army to bolster police numbers, FFS it's not as if they didn't used to do it on the sly when policing CJA and ANL marches in the 80s and 90s. At least send sqaddies out with the fire and ambulance crews for backup.

 

[caLLous]

I'm quite enjoying living in a different country right now tbh, internationally this is horrific. :\

 

[rynnor]

apparently they ran out of riot police so are fielding normal police without shields - just in stab vests at Camden.

 

[MYstIC G]

I know everyones banging the army drum, but aren't they off shooting people overseas?

Which is why yaruars suggestion should have been implemented.

Well for Army read TA most likely.

 

[Ch3tan]

No, there are still lots of active servicemen over here, more than enough to help the police maintain some semblance of control.

 

[Raven]

Rubber bullets and head shots, give the para's some target practise.

 

[Ch3tan]

Fuck it, going to sleep, can't watch more of this. Hoping it dies down soon. Far too many place I've worked near, been too many times have been trashed and burnt.

 

[Jupitus]

I was locked in a pub on Bethnal Green road earlier while the gangs were kicking off trying to get into Tesco... we had riot police less than 100ft ahead of us and the smell of fires was nauseating. Bunch of cunts. I say.

Oh... and eksdee - you've been a total cunt in this thread... nowhere at all did you answer Deebs' question.

Loads of sirens still going outside and police too thinly spread... only a matter of time before we start seeing fatalaties as a result of all of this lawlessness. I truly hope the law can make them pay.

 

[Access Denied]

YES! ONly use live ammo, SAS, SBS, Marines and Paras!

I'm feeling ya on that one mate.

 

[Raven]

Going to bed too. Stay safe Laaandon.

 

[Huntingtons]

as far as ive read Eksdee have been pretty fair, although i have not noticed him answering the question which would be the only point of which to call him a cussword. cunt is probably a strong word but who am i to judge

 

[rynnor]

yeah - another fun day ahead tomorrow...

 

[yaruar]

You know it's bad when a lefty, liberal pacifist type like me advocates the army Although sometimes you need a solid wall of muscle to stop people in their tracks, and tanks, you try damaging a tank with a bin and a stick you rioting nutters.

 

[caLLous]

Yeah that could be exactly what's required. Just a blatant, all-out show of force to reinstate a bit of order and make people stop and think.

Sick video;

Matthew Moore - Truly extraordinary speech by fearless West Indian woman in face of #Hackney rioters. Pls watch - Twitvid

 

[caLLous]

Liverpool now too.

haha. she is great. Lets send her into each area ahead of the police to do a speech

 

[Corran]

Liverpool now too.

Nah, that just a normal night in scouseland

 

[Calaen]

Yup, police, are totally outnumbered, I can't believe its taking this long for there to be a deciding mafe about getting in the army. Tomorrow morning us too late for a meeting, they should be doing it the second he lands.

It's almost as if they are hoping it just stops. It ain't going to, if they keep getting away with it.

 

[ilaya]

i'd like to think that if some dicks tried it in geordieland the general public would kick the shit out of them

 

[Gwadien]

It's this FUCK DA POLICE attitude - sucks :'(

 

[Calaen]

That's the problem nowadays. In the past the police could have come down hard on the fuckers, and average Joe wouldn't stand for it. All the human rights bollocks flying around means everybody's hands are tied.

 

[ilaya]

FFS!! just went onto Facebook... and they even looting my Cityville!!! BASTARDS!!
