In the news

Call me nieve but what is this all about. I'm not sure what is really going on.

My gut reaction to what your saying is that you sound like a liberal apologist. This is not a political protest, it's bandwagon thievery. Correct me if I'm wrong.

You're right, that there's obviously some extremely maladjusted morals at play, but adults are able to make choices about basic rights and wrongs. For me, anyone who intentionally steals or causes harm to others and their property forfeits their right to be taken seriously as a citizen.

I'm all for addressing the misfortunes or socio-political situations that cause this, but these are broad, long-term issues. Setting fire to public transport and looting an indepedent business is not a reasonable or even a coherent response. We can all stroke our beards (not aimed at you personally, Horatio! I just remembered you have a beard) and say "yes, but what causes this greed?" or "why do these people think it's ok to do this?", but there will be people far worse off, who have been fucked over by the government to a much greater extent, who still have a level of dignity and respect for themselves and others not to act like complete, fucking, cunts.
completely missed the point...

some looters have een battered in bethnal green by shop keeps.

I will make a special trip to use their shop if you can let me know where. And what they sell obvs.

Call me nieve but what is this all about. I'm not sure what is really going on.

Can I call you naïve instead?

Nonsense. That's what the horses are for. You never seen a police horse charge?

Yep, mayday one year, I'd have absolutely shit myself if I'd been in the way of that.

I'm wondering if there will come a time when normal citizens just get a bit fed up and get involved.

that's the aforementioned shopkeepers battering looters

I;ve heard a theory of extreme right wing incitement- with the hope of a backlash.

Thoughts?

nuno- srsly?

speaking of missing the point, misdirection and blatant fear of the unknown, wtf with this constant reference to "social networking". fuck OFF!

In 1981 The Specials were number one with Ghost Town.

People who don't like working realise they can get free stuff under the pretence there is some deeper meaning behind it and they have a purpose

Send the chopper back to hackney I need an update.

Apparently access to Facebook/Twitter/BBM turns semi-literate fuckwits into a combination of Guderian, Rommel and Montgomery.

Nonsense. That's what the horses are for. You never seen a police horse charge?

Yes and they are scary.

My mother used to protest during the sixties and she has often spoken about horse charges with a genuine look of fear in her eyes.

I have however also seen a police horse stabbed in the neck in Bermondsey (not tonight, a riot a while back).

Fucking brilliant.

Some rumours of Ealing Broadway currently kicking off. Anyone?

Twitter saying it's kicking off in Roehampton? Too close for comfort...

Its kicking off in Hampstead Garden Suburb

I remember the horse charges in Whitechapel at the student protests, fucking scary things.

Lower Clapton road is going crazy. I'm proper shitting my pants now. What to do?
