Just watching the pure stupidity of it all on the tele before heading to the GM's new place.
I have rellos all over London, so it is concerning... 
Why dont the pom's bring in the army? The cops are not able to do Shit out numbered 50:1. Bring in army, and just start shooting, 20mins later calm will be back to normal. The rioters are criminals with no care for people or their property, would anybody miss them if we removed them from the gene pool? Looks to me like they serve no useful purpose or they would be at work.
What if people were in those buildings that are burning that they wont let the fire brigade near?

				Can't quite agree with indiscriminate shooting mate but I know how you feel, it was my first sentiment.
It's pathetic, they are rioting because they think they are hard done by.
Wish they would become refugees and escape to a safe place where they have welfare support and bleeding hearts to look after them, somewhere like Syria or Iran or Afghanistan perhaps.
 >:D
			
			
			
				Bloody whinging poms...now they are taking to the streets... ;D.    
Whack a few of them in Greece and watch them change their minds. !!

No, I'd ask them to aim first... 
bullets are expensive, cant afford to waste them, just ask the yanks..
I bet they wish they had kept their gobs shut and not interferred in all the middle east uprisings now. Its probably gadafi who is sending all the twitter texts encouraging the looters

Looks like she was pushed by some multi-ethnic creature.
Before anyone gets testy, the local newspapers infer the rioters are from multi-ethnic areas. Plus I'd add, weak minded locals looking to be famous.
			
 
			
			
				No respect.  Those types use any excuse to rob, loot and vandalise..... Bet they would be the first to complain if it was their car that was torched or house that was robbed.
			
			
			
				I consider it an act of terrorism and should be treated as such. Its that simple. Terrorism laws should be in effect with such un-social behavior. Now before all our civil libitarians jump up and down, yes you have the right to protest though should be peaceful and non destructive...... >:(

Mate,
Just like Australia the Poms wont use the Army to go in a calm the situation. How would the public of the country feel if their Army went in and started shooting and there were civlian casulaties, not only the terrorists getting shot, but say your mum that worn a stray bullet that was meant for one of the terrorists.
As much training as we do you dont always hit the target that your aiming for. there are so many environmental conditions to take into consideration. Most likely civilian casualties would have arisen from ricoshays.

				as far as im concerned anybody rioting and looting is scum. an oxygen thief.

Amen Teabag. Those trips to the CS building are memorable for the pain.
Just heard on the news that the police are seeking extraordinary powers including the use of tear gas. Seems it's not in their list of standard items - at least our police have that up their sleeves!

some bloke apparently shot at the cops, they shot back = he was bad shot, they were good shots. I see that as fair.
the riots have nothing to do with the shooting.. they are just bored and brain dead..
One bloke on news they interviewed, his family has had the shop that was burnt out behind him since the 1800's... he now has no work, none of his family do, and neither do the 15 people he employed.. Yep, theres some einsteins at work there in UK at moment

Heard on the news that it is possible he had a fake gun, and that the bullet lodged in the coppers radio was from a police gun. That said, he was doing the wrong thing and had a gun (whether or not it was real or not).
I heard tonight that the Home Secretary had ruled out bringing in the Army. I would think they need the army now. This is not a protest, it is mindless vandalism and criminality. The British authorities need to get control. These are stupid kids; bored, uneducated and with little hope. They need the Army just to cool things off. Not armed with rifles, truncheons, flog these idiots if they refuse to comply.
The Army is representative of society in general, so it's a fair bet some of them have relo's who are involved. Flogging family would be hard.

				The sound you can hear in the background to much of the TV coverage is Enoch Powell laughing from the grave at being proved exactly right. When he predicted this several decades ago, he was reviled as a racist. Now, tragically, he has been proved right.
The Pom prime minister, who makes Juliar look decisive, is totallly out of his depth.
Army. Live rounds. NOW. End of problem in about an hour. Half a dozen bodies. Call it improving the gene pool.

				Just look at the pics here. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/index.html
Lets look at it - Mark Duggan (a part time gangsta and dj on the Dole) is swooped on by the cops working against gun crime. He pulls a blank firing gun that was modified to fire real bullets on the cops. Cops open fire and one round kills him, another round misses and ricohets into an officers radio.
Duggan's family hold a march with local community leaders protesting against the police lack of information on the incident. March completes and splits up.
Anarchist movement moves in and starts riot. Riot becomes uncontrollable, police withdraw. Nothing done.
Copy cat looting and rioting starts in London, Manchester, Birmingham. 
There are scum and there are scum. These scum are burning their own supermarkets, electronics shops, busting into hotels and restaurants demanding money from clientelle, busting into sports shops to steal clothes and sports shoes, mobile phones, Booze and TV's.
I heard some idiots on the news interviewed in the riots saying they were fed up with being neglected by the govt and persecuted by the police and it was time for payback.
IF you ask me we should give them some experience of what hardship is:
1. Take away their unemployment benefit - if they can riot, they can work. 
2. Conscript them into the army and send them to Afghanistan or some other crap-hole. Let them be shot at, live in a dusty tent in 40 deg C heat, eat tinned food and piss in a bucket.
3. Don't put them in prison, put them on the streets in chain-gangs cleaning up the mess they made, and them move them on to rebuilding roads.
4. Finally, they don't need sky, booze, mobile phones, blackberrys, the internet because those things don't get them jobs. Send them back to school and tell them they have to pass their exams to get some benefits.
 :police:
			
			
			
				I am wondering just how many of the looted are covered by civil unrest or the like by there insurence companys . Or will they wiggel out of it as per usual  >:D
			
			
			
				I think start by arresting anyone in a hoddie, that should get most of them. :police:
Insurance you would have to be joking, they will have lope holes you can drive a burning double decker bus through. >:(
			
			
			
				I hope the looting and fires are finished by 3/9/11
I'm flying into London that day..oooh $h1t

				I cannot believe what I saw on tele, but some UK judge saying that the crimes they are commiting are not 'serious' or worth jail time.
the reporter said somethign like 'so ripping someone out of their car burning it out, assulting the person, burning down buildings, cars and houses and robbing stores is not worth jail" 
The judge replied something like " not in my eyes"
WTF?

We lived in east London where lots of this is happening and even back then I had been mugged for my takeaway, seen shops looted, seen loads of racial interfighting and the joint just seemed in trouble. I have mates that are fully qualified civil engineers with great experience that are working in retail for 6 quid an hour compared to 20+an hour 10 years ago. Their economy is screwed, they let far too many eastern European and asain economic/ asylum seekers in and it is now bearing roten fruit! Glad I sold my place in London and got out when I did. All I can say is lucky oz has loads of iron ore to keep us afloat!

I personally think we are pretty safe but need to stop the boat loads. I was working on the channel tunnel and regularly rang police to report trucks stopping at the motorway service station, drivers walking away and a minute later the doors fly open and a semi load of people spewed out and disappeared into the woods nearby! This actually happened day after day on the m20 in Kent near Maidstone. I think we are safer than the uk due to uur resources but my kidS won't have it so easy.!

Its more about immigrants being prepared to live by Australian law and speaking our common language, just as we would have to if we went to live in another country. If they are not prepared to do so and or breach our laws they should be put on a plane and sent back to where they came from, no questions.
I too think its only a matter of time before something similar happens here in Australia, unless our Government ahhh mmm ohh that's right quoted from another part of this forum " Remember when Australia used to kick arse, NOT LICK IT"

We have a winner. Couldnt agree more. 
Look at the place they burnt down in Villawood - not only did they do it, they had SUPPORTERS outside the fence cheering....  Some great people we let in the country there. Who picks up the $8,000,000+ bill for that?
There are countries that have a flat NO policy to them, no correspondence will be entered into... those countries aren't shunned by the international community like Canberra like us to think will happen if we do the same.

QuoteLondon riots claim another life August 12, 2011 - 10:17AM
A 68-year-old man set upon as he tried to stamp out a fire during the London riots has died, Scotland Yard says.
Richard Mannington Bowes, 68, was bashed, suffering head injuries, on a road in Ealing west London on Monday night.
Scotland Yard says he was attacked about 10.45pm after remonstrating with teenagers who were setting fire to two industrial bins outside a shopping centre.Officers who went to his aid were pelted with missiles.
Bowes, of Ealing, was placed on a life-support machine following the attack, which took place as violence spread through the capital.
He died just before midnight (UK time) on Thursday, Scotland Yard said.
Detective Chief Inspector John McFarlane, of the Met's Homicide and Serious Crime Command, said: ''This was a brutal incident that resulted in the senseless killing of an innocent man.
