It takes a serious nutter to use this to go partisan, but this after all is the guy who supports Hugo Chavez and said on Question Time on the last occasion he was on that Harold Wilson should have supported Hanoi against the Americans in the Vietnam War.

It is...
Apparently riot police are now gathering at the Birmingham Childrens Hospital as rioters are getting quite close it.
Spot on
Croydon is it toward the M25, Gatwick is another 15-20 miles on.
If they go at the hospital, they should be shot on sight.
Holy feck...croyden is fecked.
People's houses.
Shit.
People's houses.
Shit.
Croydon is fecked.
Ridiculous in Croyden. Burning buildings, people could be trapped upstairs above these places. fecking stupid scum.
yeah I got mixed up with Crawley
If they hit that then they'd lose everthing.
Whatever about having a beef with the police or taking the opportunity to loot what the feck are people doing running around setting buildings on fire? I just can't get my head round it...
Jesus feck, Croyden is destroyed
fecking hell
This is simply not acceptable in this country. The Police have obviously killed a gang leader, a big one. Serious action needs to be taken, Cameron needs to return ASAP or else this farce is being fuelled by those cowardly rats in government.
What on earth do you expect?
The public has stood around whilst we have tried to fight the cuts to us on our own, with general opinion "Ohhh the Police have it too cushy bollocks to them".
Now the shit hits the fan people want to moan at the Cops.
Agreed it's getting way out of hand.
Not even going to approach making light of people's houses in danger.
This is terrorism.
Quite simply terrorism.
Quite simply terrorism.
fecking hell, look at Croydon, unbelievable.
This is insane.
Please please please tell me you don't honestly believe this is because a gang leader was killed
They need to put a curfew in place and make the little buggers stay in doing summer homework
I've never seen anything like this. Granted I'm only 20, but it really is disgusting. Peoples's homes and lives are being destroyed now.
Jesus.
Jesus.
Some seriously worrying scenes in Croydon. People being caught up in the fires is a real possibility.
Please please please tell me you don't honestly believe this is because a gang leader was killed
It's evidently what sparked the actions which have led to this escalating.
It was either a good excuse to destroy parts of London, or someone very serious indeed was killed.
Stupid scumbags.
right with ya man, this kind of thing isnt easy to control even for fully trained riot police and its not made easier by the sheer number of incidents that are now appearing
Idiots the lot of them.
Cameron needs to issue a brief statement "get off the streets right now or the army will be having live target practice"
Six hours too late the Met feckd that one right up they should have stamped it out early - it just sent the message that you can do what you want with impunity.
What the feck? One news channel had Croydon on fire on the right handside, and a load of people in suits in New York clapping and laughing on the left.
Utterly speachless.
You just can't do that though, what if your house is burning and the army roll along and shoot you because of some fecking dickheads.
Do people still think the police need to step back?
Just seen it. Croydon is a nice place aswell. What's wrong with these people?
wait till the rioting starts in the prisons. But of course, all we do is lock gates all day and are mean to them.................................
the police ought to be able to smack young kids around the ear and drag them back to their parents.
I think there's quite a clear difference between people outside their burning house and masked/hooded thugs running around in gangs throwing bricks etc.
?!
It seems crazy, but the news from New York is pretty shit too, Dow Jones is down 3% or something isn't it?
fecking mad world, and poor taste from Sky.
