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

I must have been using the word "robust" wrongly all these years, I have no idea what it means in this case.
 
I have stocked up on fettuccine and pesto, and have my golf clubs here for impromptu weaponry if needed. Middle class fightback!
 
What you don't grasp is the racism that's endemic in the police force; they'll shoot any black guy with a gun.

Certainly perceived as that.Up to the police change that .But the shooting of a black man who was holding a chair leg in Hackney doesn't help.
 
Heavily implied I would say! Sarcasm tags would be a good suggestion for the "what is redcafe missing" thread.

I'd agree with that, except if the tags made the writing blue, for example, Redcafe would suddenly turn almost entirely blue at times.
 
The bargain booze has been looted in Salford - you shouldn't laugh but :D
 
I just wish there was an actual reason for the rioting, but it's just mindless nonsense.

That one girl the BBC interviewed earlier put it best "We're just showing the police and rich people that we can do what we want".

Reports of 'stand off' between gangs and police in Salford exaggerated. 20 or so youths dispersed by police - one brick thrown, no injuries
Pictures on Twitter at it starting to kick off in Salford !!

Didn't know United were behind this :annoyed:

Indeed, they are ruining civil unrest for the rest of us. Not entirely joking either.
 
Sirens all over mk, sounded like they were heading to Bletchley.
 
I'd just like to say that it all seems quiet here in Worcestershire, too quiet. Although some of the noises coming out of the domestic foul trust round the corner are worrying, watch this space.

Make sure you set aside a few litres of water, Mike. Fill the bathtub if need be.

You may joke but the woman on the floor below me just came back lugging about twenty bottles of water. Meanwhile a load of kids from my block just set off out in hoodies and a state of some excitement. To be fair they're probably just going to kick a ball around or something.

Lovely summer's evening. It's all gone a bit Do The Right Thing...

No joke, Plech. Water storage vessels are the only thing missing from my emergency kit at the moment.
 
Waterstone's employee just said on the news: "we'll stay open, if they steal some books they might learn something"

:lol:
 
The Daily Heil is loving this...they can post pics of black criminal thugs and not even try to appear balanced.
