It's all kicking off again now - just seen about 20 riot vans and other black american style police vans go bombing past me in Blackheath.

Feel sorry for you guys in London.

Hope none of you are caught up in any of the affected areas.

I wish the press would stop referring to these people as protestors. They're not, they're vandals or terrorists to slightly stretch the word.

And now it's moved to Birmingham City Centre.

​Aparantly theres a massive gang of hoddies smashing the **** out of Thamesmead​, and its almost been levelled. damage estimates have been quoted at £11.32.

But seriously, this is getting out of control. Think I had better start boarding the house up.

I agree, but acceptable force is all relative to the incidents a country realistically has to deal with.

If these riots keep breaking out in areas of London, I wouldn't be surprised if water cannons or more end up being incorporated into police tactics.

I'm all for water cannons, though if I saw some scummy hobo burning down my house I'd want more than a water cannon.

If these riots get out of hand by going on daily and spreading to other big towns whilst the police can't contain it, looks like it'll be army reserves/redeployment and/or curfew.

At the moment it's
rioters 3 - police - 0

Wave vacant job applications at them, that should disperse them.

So glad i live up north. Feel sorry for all the decent people that are being effected by this. I also feel sorry for the coppers and other emergency services who aren't trained for this.

FFS he's at it again. He's actually just said some of the kids are doing this because they won't get EMA next year.....oh well that justifies it them.

I've done this in the last few months, I've done that. I'm like JFK.....

Someone shut this man up!
