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

Must be, I imagined the same thing!

Thanks Jon - I'll give that a read.

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.

(No idea whether this dude was speaking from authority but it sounds kinda plausible)

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.

Here is a pretty gruesome picture (don't click it if you're sqeamish) of what happened to the guy in Germany

Theresa May has apparently authorised the use of these things now, according to the article in that linked.

haha. Why would any of them bother getting their phone back? They're only going to go get pay-as-you-go ones, probably by more looting!

That's what I thought. Who would be dumb enough to go back for the phone?

That's classic Have Your Say, that is. Especially the "Yes! I'm serious!", which can be translated as "I appreciate my ideas are hugely impractical and morally untenable, but can you imagine if they weren't? The erection I obtained just thinking about it is actually starting to hurt."

The trouble with water canons, according to the EXPERT they had on the BBC earlier, is that when they run out of water, they have to be refilled.

 

I'm really glad that they had an EXPERT on to explain that really complex concept for me.

OK, other than the entertainment I am getting from reading about the riots I'm starting to get mad. So here's what we will do.

1. Take up a collection for me a plane ticket.
2. Meet me at the airport and I'll pass out weapons
3. Pretend we are playing LFD and stop this nonsense.

Either that, or they can't be used far from the nearest tap.

I'm not sure how that would work. You don't happen to have an EXPERT on hand to explain it to me, do you?

I think it's similar to the early electric cars that could only go so far as the mains plug would allow.
