I'd imagine thats been a hot topic in our area for everyone dizzy, I know if a race war kicked off then staying local isnt somewhere I'd perticularly like to be.
Just wish I'd paid attention to YC and BBadgers' conversation regarding converting common household items into strong explosives lol

well exactly. The PM should have been back on the first private plane.

Aye its been a hot topic for a while, makes me wonder why there was a sudden spat of EDL random appearances round here a couple of weeks back...don't agreee with that bag o sh1theads either!

Not sure what has happened in Leeds yet, as I'm really only just noticing its been happening in places other than London. Although have to say, it appears Leeds is only a small issue.
I'm surprised Bradford hasn't started kicking off yet, but as a friend on FB said in his status

has explained why bradford has been left untouched so far. I thought I'd share it with you to explain. 'the council has already looted the city centre and removed all the shops'

No but when we drag their corpses home, given the rising cost of copper we'd finally recoupe some of the costs we spent housing the scroats from all the copper and lead they managed to catch out there =p

The police never learn, if your going to shoot some scumbag do it in January, we never have riots/looting when its cold and wet.
On a serious note I keep seeing on the tele and internet about the causes and politics, forgive me if I'm wrong but did the goverment not get elected, did we all not have the same vote. I voted at the last election and didn't get the result I wanted but its no reason for this.
Someone earlier wrote about the birch, the birch is an inhumain punishment, but its quick, easy, effective and cheap. We also hear a lot on the box about poverty, but I haven't seen a child with rickets for decades, or people without shoes, you know people are in poverty when the front gardens got potatoes growing instead of lawn.
End of rant

I disagree about Cameron should have been on the first plane home. Some muppets riot one night ought to have been a problem that was nipped in the bud without having to panic and say "ooooh we dont know what to do without you. please please potentially make matters worse by fuelling a panic fire and come back" nonsense. its giving extra significance - or would have at the time of 1 night of unrest - to the scumbag rioters

obviously after continous troubles he needed to come back, not the first plane tho!

I'm not surprised places are not being cleaned, as a report showed on the telly. People are obviously keen to do it, but why bother when its likely to be back to squre one tomorrow?

Sorry but I wasn't suggesting in anyway that they could do the work of our armed forces, but it'd save the public purse an awful lot of money by not having to bang them up in jail and then have them back out on the streets in a few months. Sending them to Afgan was a final solution.

it wasnt a pop at you or anybody per se, its just every other status on facebook seems to suggest that, lots of tweets saying similar.

As Bruce Willis once said on a Sega Megadrive game i once had "kill em all let god sort them out"

Ah, I don't have Facebook, tis the work of the devil

Leeds joins the ranks rioting UK cities...tbh calling it rioting is a bit of joke, its purely looting.

Well its happening in Salford, mum just called me to tell my partner not to go any where near the Salford shopping city, chopper is out and loads of scaly wags are smashing up the shops ect ect.
