sirens here and someone just walked past the house saying 'everythings on fire, they've smashed...' (then it faded out).

Don't just do something! Stand there.

Instead of keep updating the introductory post, you should just add the new things as a comment cuz no one's gna keep reading the first post and they won't realise what's been added. Unless they check the revisions - who'd bother to do that?

Point taken

A police station in Handsworth Birmingham has been set on fire

What has B'ham got to do with this? it was a London thing

Could this = the end of this Government?

It's not really linked to the govt though but we'll see how the PM handles the situation once he's back from his holiday

I think the Government have failed big time, 4 days and sign of the PM returning from his holiday

It was only announced half and hour ago that he is on his way back, his in no rush, its not his shops or house that's on fire

The insurance companies are going to be busy

Now looting has begun in Bristol

There's an fb page with people updating stuff on bham and this comment from a non-Muslim made me smile

"i actually respect the muslim men protecting the mosque from the riots doing a better job than the police are by actually protecting something."

MashaAllah.

just watch the news yesterday, i really wasnt paying attention...not really listening/reading this topic and what SI and Fboy were saying :oops:

tis crazy i say. crazy.

but..just looking at all this, i thought "hehe, if we wanted to take over, we pretty much could"

the appeal that guy did was so LOOOL, please parents start contacting your children and finding out where they are. there are too many spectators (yeah right..spectators) around the areas" lol.

i'm thinking its built up boredom and frustration, it IS the middle of the summer holidays with pretty much nothing to do. and after how the gov hit hard on the youth..first opportunity they got they went for it.

so..i guess this conclude the fact that im a visual kinda person.

Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?

hmmm. i still don't get it.. what was their motive and reasons behind all this?

Think of the Olympics - How are they going to handle and police it or should I say can they handle and police such a big event like that with all eyes on London? let's face it they can't tackle a few hundred teenagers so what hope is there?
Can London now afford the Olympics after all this mess?
Is any country going to want to come to London after seeing what they have all over the world?

Ok it is boredom and frustration but that should be no excuse for looting and burning peoples houses

They'll get tired soon. I give till the end of the week.

On a wider note, I'm surprised no-one has compared this to the riots in the north in 2001 by Pakistani and white youth. Surely, those riots must have created just as much among ordinary people. The riots in the north, I suppose, were the result of real greivances, but this is just people out for a "good time" and no sense of responsibility or identity.

Some people who rioted in the north were given something like 5 years for throwing stones. The kids rioting now better get sentences that are just as severe.

But the Oldham riots did not spared to other towns and cites like these have done from what I know
Yeah there out for a good time and free goods to go with it

Responsibility can they even spell that lol
5 yrs no
min 10 max 20 But what if the kids are under the age of criminal responsibility? how will they be dealt with then I wonder?

Looting and riots have now also begun in west Bromwich in the Midlands

C'mon Bradford join in - or is it that all you guys out there are fasting and have no energy to smash and burn things up

Or rather they don't want to.

Not everyone wants lawlessness and chaos.

i really hopes there's no muslims in those riots...

was watching some hackney clips from yesterday...and i laughed coz it looked like showdowns between palestinians and israel police.

my mum received a text from the police telling her to keep kids inside. ... my mum's number?
