And these fuckers wonder why no one will employ them.

Cart before horse, arsewipe. Cart before horse.

I'd be grateful if you didn't judge us all on those posts!

I don't : )

'A gang of vandals broke the windows of an Islamic bank in Whitechapel but were chased off by a rival gang of 100 Muslim youths who are standing guard outside the East London Mosque. Local shops have been attacked'

along with the post above this is a very worrying development

Why is the local community defending its property against vandals a worrying development?

'The supposed 6pm disturbance in Birmingham that was being rumoured on social networking sits has failed to materialised so far, West Midlands police said.
A spokesman said that they had received calls about a large crowd building in the city centre, accompanied by a sizeable police presence, but this was for a public balcony appearance by the India cricket team.
He said there had been no confirmed incidents of violence so far linked to events in London.'

Looks like that report was premature. No?

Seems to me it won't be long before army are authorised to go in with rubber bullets.

You're dreaming. The police may be authorised to use gas and baton rounds, but May is hardly likely to authorise martial law yet-a-while.

Bring in the military, someone needs to stop this bullshit and the cops are too scared or too keen to let it all happen.

Who would they "bring in"? Military manpower is stretched right the way through the organisations anyway. Where are the extra bodies going to be conjured up from?

I predict that the proposed cuts to police services won't happen now.

So people have been saying for the last couple of days, you avant-gardeist, you!

I blame the Olympics, inspiring all these children to get more exercise.

how many times has treelover posted up some 'news' that has almost immediately been shown to be nonsense? and how many times has he had the grace to admit it and apologise?

 

[ViolentPanda]

Can they fuck.What, anywhere? Bring out your horses anyway.

Now, where did I put me Wapping souvenir marbles?

Inter racial /inter communal violence isnt exactly an encouraging new devpt Ed....

That reminds me. Gas is very unlikely to happen because it would require the police to wear gas masks, something which they are in no way used to. You'll have riots cops collapsed all over the place with exhaustion if gas is deployed.

True. The boy never learns.

 

[Luther Blissett]

better than Jody Macintyre's inane demand for people to rise up and have a go at "the feds" on twitter last night

He got sacked today.

there was the kingsland road? turkish? incident mentioned in the hackney thread also.
yes, i do worry that this might do damage long term to 'race relations' - one thing london has been proud of to date imo - lets hope not.

not all reliable, but there's a lot of reports.

 

[treelover]

the packs in full flow now, targets in sight...

 

[ViolentPanda]

Where the fuck are the teargas/watercannon? This is basic stuff. News of the World would have loved this.

Can't be deployed without Home Office authorisation. Make of that what you will.

Residents being evacuated from homes in part of Clapham Junction.

I lived in 'poor' East London as a kid in multi-cultural Waltham Forest, people dealt with it, no youth centres in the late '70s/'80 and very little crime to be honest. Fuck all this shit, looting and the like, shitting on their own doorsteps is pathetic.

It's a far deeper problem that needs to be addressed, and I have no explanation or answer to it, but there are parts of London that are really fucked, and it's a problem that's going to need a lot of work, gangs etc. The whole lack of aspiration apart from a mobile/pair of trainers ideal is just disturbing.

Worriying to even hear on the news of 'bringing the army in'.

Serious shit that needs sorting out.

Exactly this, nice one.

All evacuated. Flats above a party shop, they were nicking masks, fire crews worried about helium canisters.
