what is happing with britain

[Shadow-Phoenix]

Just hooligans showing off to the rich people that they can do whatever they want..

ugh - disgusting humans should be shot by a shotgun loaded with rubber hail at point blank range.

So i am under the assumption that you support the rich and wealthy?.

It's not about sides, or supporting anybody. It's not that black and white. Life is all about getting your head down, trying hard, being decent and not fucking everybody elses shit up when you get bored.

Yes, this country is being run badly. Yes, there are idiotic decisions made on a daily basis. Yes things need to change.

No, rioting, looting, burning and assaulting is nowhere near to a solution. It'll only alienate them further.

Video feed is not currently working at the momento?.
It only happens as a result of change and decisions not being made fast enough.

Actually I was making a reference to this

Zombies.

Well, either zombies or the "great British public" showing off their astounding stupidity with a looting spree, rioting and being, well, British.

Just for the record mate, 90% of Britain is completely civilised. It's the other 10% that's acting like tossers.

I don't even think it's 10%, more like 5% within a few select locations.

It was too hard to look up the BBC news site so you made a thread here?

 

[wooty]

Bunch of crazy ass bastards thought it would be a good idea to have a good old fashioned riot.

So, yeah, that's what's going down in London and the rest of the UK at the moment (why the hell is there rioting in Birmingham and Liverpool?!)

Because its Loverpool I thought that was enough of a reason.

Oi, Dont go lumping the rest of us Liverpudlians with these tossers, its not.the 80's anymore and we're not th butt of the joke.

Its rapidly going up the country, mostly just opportunists either looking for an excuse to steal stuff or out for a "buzz".

Chin up Britain.

You've a long history of dealing with far worse rubbish than this.
Chain 'em up and send 'em to the tower.
"tis a fair cop" they'll say at the end of the day.

We can't.
We don't have room!

Thats a major problem with this, prisons are already massively over-crowded, and this REALLY wouldn't help.

The fact is, this isn't political.
It's about 5% of the population, mainly the abomination of society that we call 'Chavs' being MASSIVE tossers.

If i come across a rioter, i'm going to stab him.

day 0 - a bloke was shot by the police, (said bloke also shot back, but that seems to have been forgotten about),
day 1 - protest that was meant to be peace full went south, shit went down, tits went up, bombs went off...
day 2 - people notices what good fun everyone had had the previous night had had so they joined in
day 3 - people in other cities noticed that people were having fun and decided that they wanted to have some too but couldn't make it to london, so they decided to fuck up their own cities instead.
Wankers.
my time line might be wrong, but what do i know, im a 16 - 25 year old white British male, i don't have an IQ, just an urge to fuck up everyone's shit and rob pointless things.

 

[YesIPlayTheBagpipes]

some folks down in England have been rioting. We're all still totally froody and chilled up here in Scotland though.

nail. head. (with the last sentence).

This is going to get a lot worse.
The chavs and general pond scum have now seen that the police can't (or won't) stop them.
This is going to result in more rioting/looting until the residents get fed up and start defending themselves - it's already happened in a few places (read a few of the riot stories on any major news site). eg. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/8691761/London-riots-residents-fight-back.html
A few stories have them beating on the thieves (deservedly imho).

What we're going to end up with is people attacking the thugs to defend themselves.

Welcome to anarchy. Now would be a good time to buy a shotgun and batten down the hatches for a few weeks/months.

and Yorkshire... we're quite chilled too (hope it stays that way)

No, it's not the public. It's a small portion of the public. People wouldn't keep saying 'I'm ashamed of being British today' if people didn't keep generalising like that.

O.T. The government are being idiots and doing uncountable numbers of idiotic moves. Oh, you mean this week? Someone was shot for threatening an armed officer of the law, and then people were pissed for some reason. Then the upset was used as an excuse for chavs to burgle and riot. Mostly the burglary bit, though.

Totally fine in Reading, though. We're like London's uptight neighbour.

Long story short; a known criminal waved a replica gun at police officers, and the police officers, not knowing it was a replica (how could they, really?) shot him. His family staged a peaceful protest outside the station as the police were being vague about it all, then it got hijacked by rioters, then the idea that looting shops and stuff would be fun spread and now everyone is doing it for...some reason. I'm not sure what, but I'm guessing it has something to do with the fact that they want an HD TV and don't want to pay for it and hey look, that electronics shop has just had its window smashed, let's go there!

So, yeah, that's what's going down in London and the rest of the UK at the moment (why the hell is there rioting in Birmingham and Liverpool?!)

I am sure sure already mentioned this to you but the gun had actually been real and that they removed a spent round from a police radio.

Stupid people still do stupid shit. I am just glad no public officers were killed in this.

 

[lacktheknack]

They're making a case for police states.

 

[rdaleric]

Basically this

 

[Valdus]

So i am under the assumption that you support the rich and wealthy?.

I support the people who aren't looting and setting buildings on fire. The rioters are nothing but scum in my book and given five minutes alone with any of them I would definately do something I may regret later.

It was too hard to look up the BBC news site so you made a thread here?

I know songs have already been posted, but I think this is relevant and answers your question.
