Avoiding talking about the the reasons behind the riots (as it's a somewhat political issue), just thought I'd say I hope all our London members are OK. Does anyone live in an affected area? (For the foreigners who haven't had news on this yet, you may or may not be able to access http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-14449675 )
Most of the london parts have been Black/Asian areas. Rumours of riots in Leeds after Birmingham now. Hoping it does not spread to bradford.
Just watching the rolling news on BBC News 24 and the vast majority of the troublemakers and looters are young black males. I keep on hearing that the ones involved are disenfranchised and disaffected youths. No they're not, they're fucking scum who want teaching a fucking lesson. Send the army in with water cannons and rubber bullets and if any cunt is still standing - regardless of race, religion or creed - after that then throw the bastards in jail.
A good video to watch: http://www.twitvid.com/4JTZH Regardless of race the matter of fact is these are scum. Their are white people involved and these white people should be punished all the same. Anything post the peaceful protests on friday/saturday are not protests. They are not protesters. Just scum who want to burn and steal things.
Fuck, and I'm off to London in a few hours. Then to Liverpool. Fucking scum. The scum use any excuse to riot. THIS is why I left the Uk in the first place. The scum! Yakumo
