English Riots

[James 5,140]

That SkyNews reporter tonight records it on his phone then someone tries to steal it. Mental.

It's also gone off in Birmingham and now Liverpool, too. England is burning. This is madness.

[Corlett 202]

Bristol now as well...

Hard to watch..

Also hard to forget the true issue that all of the damage is masking. I just hope it's unearthed once things have calmed down.

going a bit mental over there. Hope all you from london are keeping safe. Coming from a country where this shit happens on a yearly basis i know first hand how shit it can be especially for families with small children and the elderly. Noone wants to see this and i hope you are all well out of it and that it wont spread any more than it has. Complete and utter fuckin morons out there and the sooner they break out the baton rounds and water canons the better. Keep your heads down. Ps get our troops out of iraq and afghanastan and on to home soil where they are needed

Unbelievable.

They were breaking into peoples houses last night as well. It's worrying knowing it's all so close.

[Steve 10,227]

Wow to think i was living in London only a couple of months ago. Hope everyone on here is ok.

Was staying in the Ramada Ealing -2 cars set alight outside

Today we see our privileged Oxbridge and privately educated multi-millionaire leaders fly home from their Tuscan holiday villas to condemn those at the bottom of the shitpile of capitalism.

They have no idea that life is like for those who have been rioting. Social mobility in britain is non-existent – you can not rise up. The political class controls all aspects of our society and owns all of the land. The bankers get millions while someone who loots a mobile phone will get a long jail sentence.It is a grotesque absurd society – no wonder the explosion when it comes is viscerally ferocious. Just wish it had been in the millionaires areas of London......

As a result of the riots, England v Holland has been postponed.

Maybe my question is stupid, but are the events as big as we can read in the press or the phenomenon is amplified ?

I saw some pictures it's really impressive

I though at first that Capello received 3 or 4 more news about diplomatic injuries but I remembered the events in Tottenham

[EskWeston 696]

Could maybe understand if these riots had any meaning to them but they don't. It's just violence and looting for the sake of it. Not one of these useless idiots give a f**k about the state of the country..... All it is, is an much larger version of their beliefs that they are entitled to rob, loot and be violent as they see fit. And it won't stop until there is some major reaction to it because for 3 nights they have just been able to get away with it, tonight will be worse and more widespread for sure.

[SeB 1,281]

OK, in France we had already some events but often (2005 or this year) it came from a starting point showing the shortcomings of the system but after that a lot of people enjoy the moment to compound even more the situation with vandalism and thefts (because now Leeds and Birmingham are in trouble...)

Currently there is no way of resolution yet ?

[Fulham Broadway 16,392]

”Sheer criminality” ”Sheer criminality” Theresa May is like one of those squeaking dolls that says the same thing over and over again when you pull the string out of its neck.

A few weeks the mealy mouthed, expense fiddling politicians, were calling the uprisings in Egypt and the Middle East ”The democratic process at work” Was the level of hopelessness and despair in Egypt and Tunisia which forced ordinary people onto the streets and caused governments to fall so different from the hopelessness and powerlessness felt by the crowds in Tottenham or Brixton? Is the feeling of being oppressed in Syria any different from that felt by some in the UK?

To all our members near the riots: Stay safe and be careful!! You are in my thoughts

[Beast 85]

This situation typifies the English people. Low life young scumbags who dropped out of school at the age of 16 and never had a job are burning and looting shops in London. Not only the young, it's the adults aswell, they all think violence is the only answer and think their massive sick cunts because they drink beer till they end up in hospital and kick peoples heads in for fun. It's the English mentality. The English people really are cowards. No wonder Spain is more attractive in both Footballing & social terms. (And their women are actually look decent). I'll probably get -rep (Zolayes or Madmax come into mind) but meh.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

You're speaking about an underwhelming minority who do not possess a conscience. Don't speak with such generalisations, you'll learn that it will only get you in deep shit in life.

If you don't like English people or English culture, why do you support an English football team? Football, something that typifies everything that is English, encapsulates the minds of millions and is a ritualistic part of English life, thuggery, hooliganism et al. If you don't like it, I've heard the A League has increased in popularity these days.

16 000 police on the streets of London tonight
