What made you lose faith in humanity today?

Haha what a nice boss you must be FB!

They were genuinely panicing and rather than try to say ''look this is load of bollocks'' I'll just let them come in tomorrow and I'll say ''you survived then?''

[Kez 2,727]

Absolutely agreed, my friends are getting worried my hometown of Tamworth is going to go up in flames... not likely, they have about 200 police officers stationed there on a good day

My brother said it's supposed to go off in Tamworth tonight

Loads of stuff flying around on facebook about Coventry city centre being evacuated and shut down.

I found it funny earlier when someone on Facebook tried to tell me the shop I was standing in was on fire. Now, either she was lying, or my attention to detail isn't what it once was.

Check yourself for injuries you could be seriously hurt

You're not the sharpest knife Alex

Watching and hearing about a city I love, the grey lady being razed by those thinking in the moment. As someone who lives in a country that actively destroys history and culture, this saddens me.

[Laylabelle 9,351]

The fact that people are organising riots...wtf!!!!!!! 'Lets go and loot this area and so forth and dystory peoples lifes...make them leave their houses..ruin bussiness etc but at the end will want sympthy'....who the hell thinks of going on Facebook and stuff and broadcasting where to loot..its mental!

We had someone come in yesterday with a pic of some random McDonalds 'oh look the one in Luton been smashed in look at the photo'...and your knda erm where the hell is that cause that aint Luton and who the fuck is gana loot a McDs?! Sod the telly go for the burger!

[Fulham Broadway 16,848]

Lack of understanding over these riots.. Sigh..

Yup. What you sow, you reap- we didn’t build prison-like estates, set the dole at a subsistance levels, cut EMA, or spoon feed youth with bullshit celebrity dreams and psychotic computer games and ‘torture porn’ movies, we don’t humiliate kids on the streets and slap them about as if they were colonial subjects, like the old bill…

An entire generation, nationally, has been chucked on the shit-heap, dispossessed. The language used against them is redolent of the nazis-’scum’, ‘feral rats’- people talk of calling out the army, why, so they can cut off black kids fingers as trophies like in Afghanistan ? Light up entire families with SA80s? Lets have a ‘Syrian Solution’? Bollocks!

[BlueLion. 21,491]

The situation is a difficult one though. Containment no longer seems an option, so is dispersal the next point of call?

[BluesChick 1,260]

oh heck where to begin! You realize where I live right??

I'll start with drivers and their in ability to think of anyone else!! I watch them stop traffic so a guy could pull out of his housing complex and prevent an AMBULANCE from getting thru! There is no right away given to emergency vehicles here!! God for bid I ever have to be taken to the hospital for an emergency, I will put myself in the hands of our driver before I go in an ambulance!

Containment would be a very very short term measure in my view., and the rioters disperse themselves anyway It's like Chelsea losing to Barca in the CL semis and saying ''shall we change the decor at Cobham?''

There are problems in this country deep rooted and difficult and they don’t go away if we do nothing. They certainly don’t go away when we erode what little we are hanging on to … We have to be bigger than the media and violence. We have turned our back on enlightenment. It can’t be about fuck all anymore it has to be about something. We have to recognise the wider reasoning behind this awful situation. We have to invest in all our people and in all our futures

A quick glance at the history books will reveal that rioters are always heavily condemned as ‘criminals’ (in this country poorer kids were considered criminals long before the events of August 2011) and somehow less than human, but slowly a pattern of inequity, voicelessness and a lack of hope emerges. Sometimes this leads to positive change…

The fact 3 people been killed defending their community.I know things like this dont happen day in day out but still...

You know I always found Chinese women to be the worst drivers on earth. Even in US they drive like they drive in China. You being in China I can only pity you. That said, it's the same situation in India and other Asian countries. People have died in Ambulances cus of the traffic. Fuck right away to fire engines of ambulances.

Welcome to Asia

Thanks! Thankfully I get to leave the driving up to someone else and he is very good at his job! I won't say I am never startled or scared but he always seems to be aware of it all that is going on around us and we stay safe! It is weird to always sit in the back seat and to know that I won't be driving for three years!! I am sure I will get used to it because I have no desire to stress myself out completely by driving here!!

I am amazed by the lack of accidents here, but then again with the laws the way they are and the stiff penalties... I guess I am not. But they push the limit to the very edge. The problem in the US is that no one learned to drive in the same area they live so you have a mix of driving styles (most that are awful) all in one place!! And no one seems to understand that the other people don't understand their "driving style" LOL

You can't complain about Asian drivers until you're involved in a free-for-all with cyclists in central London!

I also feel people don't understand the difference between understanding and justifying. What we're saying is the primary.
