Why are they going to listen to the legal system, when nobody has been held to account for abuses within the banking system? Why are they going to listen to the police, who have been taking cash from the press to break confidentiality? Who has moral authority? Jon

Yes they sure are!

I like this quote:

I prefer the back of the bus! OMG I'm a negro!

Is yankee a term you use for Americans? Or is it just a North vs South thing here?

Yeah, all Americans are Yanks. Or, more often, 'dumb yanks'. Do you really call us limeys? I like that, it's such a pretty word. , , , , , , , , , , `' (o,o) (o,o) (o,o) (o,o) (o,o) \ \|)__) \|)__) \|)__) \|)__) \|)__) ''`>-,--”-”---”-”---”-”---”-”---”-”---- ,'.*''`

It's easy to blame left or right for this. But the fact is that there is a large section of the UK that is marginalised, disenfranchised, disaffected, do not feel a part of a community, do not feel like they have any control over their destiny, and do not feel like they will ever amount to anything, all despite living in one of the wealthiest nations on Earth. And it doesn't solve anything to just say "well I came up from a council estate and look at me."

They aren't mindless, they are exerting their influence. And as it became clear that it was possible to do so with impunity, it is barely surprising it spread.

I'm not condoning looting, but I can understand where it comes from. Burning peoples houses and businesses - the niihlism - is a much more scary idea. I was talking to mates who live just a couple of hundred yards from Reeves Corner while it was up in flames and they were $hitting themselves - there was no justification for that.

I think you're spot on, but the idiotic comments seem to get more attention - like this halfwit ~ quote: 116. twoshotron 51 MINUTES AGO OK - enough! Someone has got to get a grip. An immediate curfew in town centres after 20.00 hours until 06.00 next morning; anyone caught breaking the curfew to be arrested and kept in custody until a £1,000 fine has been paid (for a first offence). Rising to £10,000 for a subsequent time. Also, immediate setting up of "Boot Camps". Yes! I'm serious! twat Jon

I read a splendid one advocating the police use of bears in riot control. Though I suppose they may have to introduce quotas to insure that there are a token few black bears among the polar bears...

I was reading about water cannons yesterday, apparently their pressure is so high they pretty much blinded a guy in Germany recently, and they've been known to break bones. People in Northern Ireland were saying they were the best riot-breakers they'd seen in action. I guess the reality must be a bit more impressive than the hosepipes I imagined!

I saw that too - police bears... interesting idea I don't know who the government think they are "fighting back" against - they don't seem to realise these people are part of their own population Jon

There was someone on TV earlier saying they're not really going to be suitable with what's happening. They're not very mobile and you have to manoeuvre them into position to use them. They're good in N.I. where a protest tends to happen in one place but not much use on a mobile mob.

I love this one. Drew this would /kill/ you if it happened! The phone part that is.

They should be rounded up, phones should be confiscated from every person there. They should then have to go through an application process to retrieve their phones, in doing so identifying themselves, and then given an opportunity to give their reason for being there. In proven criminality cases, they should incurr a temporary or even permanent ban from obtaining mobile phone/internet account.
