Rioting in London over the last few night

[MK Shrimper]

@Pubey - he's not the only person to suggest similar things.

The Kaiser Chiefs were predicting all this a good five+ years ago.

"The Kaiser Chiefs" and "good". Not two words you usually find together in a sentence.

Just shoot them with rubber bullets and the water guns, will put out any fires and hopefully give them the message that enough if enough.

Why rubber? Real ones would have much more effect and also reduce the unemployment level in this country too.

Kev's on his way into work tonight and just told me he'd seen 22 police vans heading towards East Ham, closely followed by another 6 a mile or so behind them. He's got to drive through Hackney so I'm hoping things are ok.

Apparently it is kicking off in Birmingham and Leeds at the moment.

Who are they playing?

Bring back Maggie, that's what I say!!! She'd sort this bloody mess out!

I heard about Brum but not Leeds. Apparently, something has also kicked off in Romford, Barking, Chingford, Dagenham, Walthamstow and Leyton. Don't know if it's true though, but be scary if it has.

And someone on FB also mentioned that they saw a large gang of yoofs at Upminster station on their way to Lakeside (although this is yet to be clarified, and they could just be going shopping!).

Are you sure you mean "shopping" Hils???!!!
Scamps has just said his dad's been jumped at Barking station, things are getting way out of hand now, it's like the minute evening approaches is the signal for these hoolies to come out.

Riots on the streets, rising unemployment, stagnating economy. Looks to me like she is alive and well.

Oh god, and Barking is no way like what it used to be when I lived there - one of the last places i'd go now. And where are the bloody police for all this?!

Sitting in the dole queue thanks to the Coalitions cuts.

Can anybody explain why most of the people rioting are black???????

 

[TrueBlue]

ALSO where is the army??????????????

 

[Sandbach Shrimper]

Mark Phillips has plenty of opinions on the matter on Twitter.

What the hell is going on in the world? Riots all across London, international financial turmoil, famine in Africa, and Cher Lloyd is at number 1 in the charts. Armageddon is on its way.

Presumably they're pimping their bitch up or some such bollocks.

A lot of the pictures I've seen suggest that there a plenty of white youths involved, but I couldn't give the exact racially split. I've just watched a live feed of a car being attacked, and it would appear all the people involved were white.

Its clearly a reaction against Tes Bramble's jail sentence.

Don't panic Gazzas on his way

Part of Croydon's on fire now....
