Hard to support that, politically, isn't it? Especially when your loved ones all work and live in the effected areas.

I checked the EDL Facebook at about 2am Sunday and it was full of what you would expect Although i did notice someone who was usually an utter cunt sticking up for the rioters and criticising the police shooting. I think there were a couple of others too. It seemed to be going the same way as the student protests. Blaming the left and ten years of labour. Amongst the usual racist shit.

but in Brixton they were just plain old looters, apparently.
The Mail obviously thinks North London has a different class of rioter.

there's a bit of a non sequitur there. can you spot it?

much as i'd expect. i would be a bit surprised though if the edl itself put something out which reflected the views of its supporters as it would blow wider the gap between their claimed politics and their real politics.
I can spot that you're an arrogant twat.

No pasaran!
Loads of racist comments in the Torygraph. One idiot actually said "We want Enoch Powell for PM" without realising that Powell has been dead for around 20 years.
That was meant to be in their somewhere.

better an arrogant twat than someone like you.
I'm guessing they took all the laptops and left the iMacs,bit hard to conceal a iMac under your jacket as you wend your way home.I was thinking that too....should have got down there!

that's one of his best characteristics and it's swung me behind this powellite campaign. but i would go further: bring back palmerston. or even pitt. dead politicians can hardly be worse than the wankers we have now.

Perhaps they were all too busy whispering cynical self-serving lies to their pals in the gutter press, as they do whenever the Met kills a citizen ...
Perhaps they think that *is* their job. They certainly seem to act on that basis.
What someone for whom unbridled violence on their and their family's doorstep is somewhat disconcerting.
We can only hope it happens to to you. God lets hope! Sooner the better.

Was it a smack in the mouth? Sounds like a fair response to a fat old racist fucker.

Is 'anarchist' Daily Mail speak for 'rioter who is not black'?

It was almost 20 years ago to the day that this happened:

Not many blacks involved in that one, apart from maybe mad Davey Black of Percy Main.

They took the PC laptops and not the Apple stuff? Shows how fucking thick they are then.

Yep, I reckon so.
What get over something that probably is going to continue tonight? (Spot the non-sequitur?)
I will eventually, of course. But again, my point only is: If you're an innocent victim, it's hardly going to bring about political sentiment, is it? Being aggressive to passer-bys is hardly collateral damage.

Apparently Boris johnson doing his job as Mayor and leaving his holiday would "kind of reward" criminality. So he's not.

I said exactly this to Mrs Spy last night.Lots of projecting going on here, imo, i'm quite sure 10 year olds to 14 year olds have no political or otherwise consciousness of the cutting of bankers getting bigger bonuses, of Thatcher and neo-liberalism, etc, it was opportunism, look at what they looted: games, tv's, clothes, very few political locations, job centres, etc were attacked, it wasn't Brixton or Toxteth, it was the above kids but also organised criminal and volent gangs out to get what they could. There is plenty for young people to be angry about it in London and indeed the Uk, but these people weren't part of that.
the initial protest outside the Police station was a different case..

if that's really, truly the case then why didn't the people in tottenham loot last week or last month? i suppose it was simply a coincidence that there was the demonstration the same day.

yeh cos there were a fuck load of cops at the student protest last september

Politics can work at different levels - it's only natural that for a generation that has been told that happiness lies on acquisition of more and more consumer goods - whilst at the same time deprived of the resources to live out this capitalist utopia - to respond by taking what's denied to them.

Should he return, he'd probably say something deeply stupid which so reeked of elitist arrogance as to provoke a small but statistically significant number of hiterto peaceful Londoners into violent insurrection.
