Fucking looters and yobbos and rent-a-mob in London

[PrincessBandit]

Who else is horrified at the bandwagon anarchistic arseholes who are taking pleasure in creating the violence and destruction in London. And it has spread.
Bring in the army and use 'em as friggin target practice.

The reporter used the term "recreational rioters" - send in the recreational army.

Gotta stop watching the news as the whole thing is just too aaaaaarrrrrrgggggghhhhh to listen to and watch. Terrified residents, buildings and homes destroyed.

Valuable piece of advice, Dawny.... get Balu to make you a foam rubber brick.
One of the engineers at Super Air made me one.. I used it for throwing at the tv whenever Helen Clark's ugly face appeared on telly. Result!

And yes.... they are just shitheads.

I didn't expect it to start in England, but am not too surprised. I do believe it may spread soon to other countries. The financial meltdown of not only the US but also the EU is a breeding ground for civil unrest and anarchy has been simmering away for a while now under the veneer of normality.

Even here, the younger set, i.e. teenagers, have been growing up without any respect for adults, authority or human life. This is world-wide so watch for developments elswhere.

The markets are in panic and just now Obama was on the news talking the US up and slighting the downgrade in an attempt to shore up the USD. Unfortunately he comes across as desperate for something good to happen and has only fueled the feelings of concern.

Watch this space...

I very sadly agree with you Mr. Bear.

London is rioting for a third night. Riots which initially began as a reaction and condemnation of a police shooting have become something more widespread. So, what to make of it?
This is what government is supposed to prevent. When large numbers of people think they will be better off in some sense by using violence, then society has failed. When people think they have nothing to lose by throwing bricks and Molotovs, that their lives will be improved by burning things down, then society has failed.
Second, those calling for a clampdown are fools. Yes, I expect "law and order" to be restored, those who have committed crimes to be prosecuted. But unless the underlying social failure is addressed, this will just happen again. And if the British upper classes think the solution is just a bigger boot to keep the excluded masses under control, then like the rulers of Tsarist Russia and ancien regime France, they deserve everything they get.

Kick a dog when he's down and eventually he will bite back. Sad that it started in London, but, then, the London Police are not exactly sensitive in their dealings with the public....

I guess, for them to have any respect for "their Elders", there has to be just cause - and I don't see much of that about, world wide, atm, do you?

[Paul in NZ]

No jobs and never been part of the economy, bought up by the playstation and fueled with cheap booze....

Fuck.... I was really hoping I'd be dead before it happened.....

Don't be told what you want.
Don't be told what you need.

I am the granny state, hear me roar.

EDIT: I see winston slightly bet me to it.

but, then, the London Police are not exactly sensitive in their dealings with the public....

I've always had a different view. Eg they turned up at my bday party at 2pm on Sunday (it started 6pm the night before) and said "guys, we know what goes on in here, we've let you have a good party, how about you call it a day, we leave and everyones happy".

Respect gov'nor.

Having said that, if you're marked they'll get you even if the evidence doesn't necessarily stack up.

deja vue......oh the good old eighties, much fun they were

About it.Not to much point getting all excited about it,we reap what we sow and once again all those that live with there heads in the sand are seeing the results of doing so.Will anything change?No,will it get worse?Without doubt,when all the do-gooders finally wake up it will be without doubt far to late.Cheers.

No fucking excuse. I don't care how fucking bad the 'economy' is or how hard it is to get a job. Line them up and water cannon the lot of them into the Thames. Stealing private property and trashing private buildings, stupid ignorant fuckers are using anything as an excuse to 'just cause some shit'.

Fuck the apologists.

The difference now is that they are no longer "using and excuse", they are simply rioting for no more reason than they are inclined to.

As I said above, they have grown up with no discipline, no respect and no guidance and have no feeling or concern for anybody. You see it here in this country and it is getting worse. Those who claim it's all normal and everything is going to be okay need to get their heads out of the sand and take a look around the world.

The world of now, is a world of "first's, worst's and never before's."
