Great short read.
If the government can't guarantee the safety of it's citizens, maybe US style gun laws aren't such a bad idea after all 
Where'd you se that Mr pocco, if I may ask.

No.
In London "all police cells are now full" BBC News
That is disastrous.
cnuts. The only thing I worry about is exactly the second bit, getting fronted on by a gang of them for absolutely no reason. I'm half tempted to stash my nun-chucks in my bag tomorrow.

Yep, Tottenham, Hackney, Croyden, Ealing, Birmingham, Salford, Manchester and all the other places involved would undoubtedly have been much safer places to be over the last few nights if everybody had guns.

Yeah one thing that would make this a lot better is if half these cnuts on the streets had guns
EDIT - feck off A1. By the way did you see my other back-track, you were right about ought, sort of.
Live in Manchester

The death count so far is what, 1? 2? Throw guns in and watch those numbers fly.
Sky news reporter looked like he was about to get mobbed before the camera cut
You owt to be ashamed of yourself.
Ought is a Manc thing, Aidan.
2 if you include Mark Duggen. Both shot. With guns.
Nottingham police station firebombed by 30/40 guys.
Tell Plech that.
Police helicopter has been circling in Hammersmith for about 20 minutes now... though there doesn't appear to be anything going on. Might just have felt like flying.
Yeah yeah.. just putting it out there.
But I can't help to think that if no one's there to protect your family or your property, why shouldn't you be able to do so?
Though, I should probably have worded it differently. "Swiss style" gun laws
about time too , Police challenging a gang in Birmingham.
The one on shakespeare street?
Would be like a Hollywood blockbuster.
Something circus, just saw it on Sky news.
It was a she actually. And she lives alone. Mercifully, she was out at the time.
Does anyone have a Sky News stream?
Perhaps they aren't trained to deal with this sort of thing, but it looks worrying to me that the police a vastly outnembered. Even if they were used as 'numbers' on the streets, I think most of these looters would think twice about getting involved where they are.
It just seems daft that our own country is getting ripped apart in places and we can't even utilise our own army to help deal with it. It'll be interesting to see how we deal with this, but right now I can only see an army presence or backlash from communities putting an end to this.
I think it's like that across London. I can see a shitload of helicopters from my roof but no flames...
Owt, surely? Though half my lot are from Yorkshire so maybe I'm wrong...
Christ, I bet she's shook up something rotten.
Canning circus, at the top of derby rd, feckin ell. Just left couple months ago.
The vast, vast, vast majority of people.
Today almost nothing has happened. It's as safe as any other normal night here now.
Do you mean the way it's spelt or the word itself?
And I've had a lovely beef steak. I've also got my baseball handy incase some scallies decide to pay a visit.
Apropos of nothing, a few years back they did a study on criminals who were identical twins separated at birth. There were 13 of them, and when they tracked down their twins, they found out that 9 of them were also criminals.
The other 4 were policemen.
Baseball or baseball bat?
The link is set as my homepage.
The former. He has an arm like a fecking cannon.
Its aright Sky keep going on about London being nice and calm.
No fecking wonder most of the county's Police are there and now these places are being wrecked , but it is OK , London is calm

He better hope he encounters a sole looter.
er.... I can't pitch to save my live. I'll use my bat instead.
Yeah, that's what I'm hearing. Everything battened down but not a lot going on.
Yesterday sounded fecking horrible though.
From BBC: Liverpool city centre has gone into lockdown with all shops closed from 6pm. A digger has been used in an attempted robbery of a Post Office in Bootle.
