Where the feck is Cameron? Why hasn't he said anything?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Croydon looks like a war zone
?!
What do you expect from Sky News? Get BBC news on mate!
Come on now. The identity of the guy that got shot is irrelevant.
Hear the dude on BBC? He told a guy not to walk on because the street is blocked off, and he went on anyway. Thickos man.
Steady.
If they had done that, they would still have been criticised for being heavy handed
I know, but it's odd to have a load of people cheering and laughing next to a town being burned down.
Yeah, my heart went out to him. Brings home how ordinary people are suffering.
I have, I quickly flicked over when I saw it.
I feel for that man.
If London gets though the night with no loss of life , it will be lucky
This better not spread to civilised parts of the country.
For sure but his exact identity was no more important than Rodney King's when it kicked off in LA.
probably sunning himself, thinking about his protected pension
Seriously, where the feck is Cameron?
I hope no innocent person is killed.
The rioters have made their choice to ignore Darwin.

Can someone tell me why all this shite has happened? Adzz? anyone? just sum it up in fewer than five words. (I've been locked in the Sneijder thread for three days...)
He's on holiday in Italy. He's going to have to cut it short now, surely. Ridiculous he hasn't even released a statement yet.
Telegraph claiming Cameron's flying back overnight.
I don't think yo can compare the two cases. One was brutally attacked, the other one shot at a copper, and was shot as a result.
Twat killed, yobs thieve.
This is what our twat of a leader is doing , while London burns

Apparently they've started looting in Liverpool now. Completely unrelated to any of this, obviously, it's just that time of the evening.
Blame, opportunity, idiots, fun?, identity
Man is shot, Tottenham riot happens, 2 days later, riots spread. Croyden is destroyed. Shit is fecking mad.
In response to Pogue, yes perhaps that is more correct, I can't help but feel you don't get this riled for nothing, or someone you might not even personally know. People close to him (Not family) must be stirring shit up.
Austerity = Riots.
This is probably a dumb question, but why is no one attempting to put that blaze out? Theres just one fire engine sitting there. Do they just let it burn itself out?
The scenes from Croydon are shocking.
One was caught on camera. The other not. Exactly what happened in the latter case is not yet clear.
probably has something to do with it. I bet most doing it will not be doing so because they reckon there was an unjust shooting. They see the 32 inch tellys going by and join in
They have to get the all clear from the Police , I would say they think it is still not safe to send the firefighters in
Yes. Thanks to the recession, the local fried chicken shop shut down and it caused all this!
Cobra meeting tomorrow
BBC News - David Cameron flying home tonight and chairing a COBRA meeting tomorrow.
Sky seem to be firmly trying to lay the blame at the feet of the police.
I'll ask again, who are the people doing it? Are their families not wondering where they are?
If you had kids would you let them out while its going on?
