UK Riots (with the exception of Manchester which has its own thread)

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.
As nearly always with crime it's the poor, the weak, those who who can't defend themselves that suffer from crime the most. I've been a hawk on crime and punishment in the CE forum since I joined the cafe, but it's seriously hard work getting across to some that I'm a hawk because I want to defend the victims of crime and not because I enjoy seeing people punished. That should be the starting point, will a measure reduce the number of vicims or not? if yes, do it.
A defiant grandmother stood like a beacon of hope amid the wreckage of Wolverhampton city centre.
Courageous Louise Johnson refused to move from outside her hairdressing salon as scores of rioters rampaged down Queen Street looting stores.
http://www.expressandstar.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/WD4068774.jpgThe 52-year-old mother-of-four who has five grandchildren, faced the baying mob with arms outstretched as they threatened to destroy her business.
As police in riot gear watched motionless from either end of the street she screamed: “You are not having my shop.”
Amazingly, they did what they were told and left Louise’s Hair Salon untouched while wrecking other stores on either side of it.
Miss Johnson, who has run the salon for almost two years, admitted afterwards: “It was like being in a war zone but I had no intention of letting them wreck everything I had worked so hard to build up.
“I spoke to them in language they understood. They are animals and I addressed them like animals.
“I just put my arms out wide with my hands held in the air and said words to the effect of ‘you are not having my shop.’
“I have worked too hard to let it be wrecked by people like that. My legs ache because I spend so long on my feet each day cutting hair.
“Some of that mob were kids. They looked no more than 12. The oldest was probably aged 20. Some of the girls were more vicious than the boys.
Miss Johnson, who lives in Field Street, Heath Town, said: “I saw girls with hammers in their handbags. They just took the hammers out, cool as you like, and used them to smash the windows of shops that were then looted.
“Meanwhile the police were just standing at the end of the road doing nothing. I could hardly believe my eyes. If I had done nothing then my shop would have been ransacked like the others.
“I was not moving. I was prepared to die with the salon and I think the rioters realised that. They must have seen it in my eyes. I meant every word of what I said.
“They came down Queen Street like something you would see in Zulu. There seemed to be hundreds of them. They had gone mad. They had iron bars.
“No way in hell I am having these kids destroy my business. They could have killed me but I did not care because I wanted to protect what was mine.
“I was not frightened at the time but the stress hit me when I got home last night. I broke down and had a good cry.”
Miss Johnson, who brought up her four children as a single mother and was back at work as usual today, said: “I have lived in Heath Town for the last 36 years and it was not easy but I managed. I brought them up with little but with manners. I believe that if you do not have manners and respect for others, you are finished.
“There is no excuse for the way that mob behaved last night. They were not making a political point it was just crime for crime’s sake. They were looting and vandalising for kicks.
“They were hyped up. It was just a bit of excitement for them but they were destroying the livelihoods of decent people in the process.
“They were shocked by the language I used when telling them off. I said that I was using those words because they were the only ones they would understand.
“If they come back again I will stand outside the shop. I am not leaving. If I had not stood outside yesterday they would have destroyed it.”

I genuinely have a mind to join that forum, just to explain, in minute and explicit detail, exactly where he's gone wrong.
Staring with his nonsense about black boroughs.
Do it.
Only a wigger would do that!
'Left foot green'... noting sinister about a big game of twister!
At least he's being shouted down there and is alone in his views.
On a related note, to the above, this really did make me laugh. I don't think I've ever heard a news reporter sound as uncomfortable as this.
Sangat back on.
Linky?
Its going off in huddersfield now!
The driver of the car in Brum has been arrested for murder.
I have to say that Upinder is a very very good reporter... hoping he'll get noticed through all of this.
He's wearing a suit today, it's not the same now he's hit the big time.
Good. Let the fecker rot in prison.
Good news.
was thinking the same. He needs to stick to the jeans and t shirt.I can see him doing well at Sky. I dunno if he would leave his religious channel though.......
They cut him whilst he was in full flow!
Where the hell is Uphinder?
I tried...I wrote a long post, posted it, and then it didn't show up. Posted another, smaller one telling him that Haringey is even whiter than Lambeth (after someone else had pointed out my point about my area) with 65% white majority, and that didn't show up either...
I'm giving up now.
plans in place now for water cannons to be available, nice we needed that monday night so its only 2 days too late then
im fecking drained though, mentally shattered and i have 2 more shifts to go

Random breaks. I don't think even he knows when it cuts out.

You'd think Sangat could get some new ads by now.
A lot of people asking these same questions...
Why are they giving Boris Johnson a hero's welcome ?
The feck? She figured she'd feck up and then say 'I is sorry' and all would be well?
