Only 1 way this is going to end and that's getting the army in.Cameron should have sent them in now instead of pussyfooting about and give the police and army stronger powers to deal with this lowlife scum who are going to stain this country for years to come.

No chance, we'll get blamed first

just watching clips of the goings on in salford and noticed some police had police dogs with them.pity they never let these dogs off the lead.

Wire fans scum of rugby league strike again

Hull city fans first, then you lot.

Tommy Ducks! that brought a smile to my face. All those knickers on the ceiling

I've just seen some more elderly thugs go looting in Oxfam and The British Heart Foundation.

David Cameron is out of his depth here. He didn't fly back from his holiday till the situation was escalating out of control and yesterday he took no concrete action to empower the police, he just made a short speech warning people that they would feel the full force of the law and would potentially be ruining their own lives.



Well the scallies in Manchester, Nottingham and Birmingham just LOLed at that. They see Cameron, and the British government and police, as a joke, and it sends a message now what you want to do you can do. Dangerous given that the action of these scallies will embolden people who actually do have sinister political intentions, it shows how easy you can cause carnage. Whats going to happen now if Islamic groups start organising a "Day of Rage" on facebook like they have been doing in Arab countries, or if the socialist workers party start organising a "day of revolution", students start going on a rampage about tuition fees, trade union groups organise a day of "stop the cuts" action. Have the police got enough resources to deal with these if they all decide to start smashing things up?



For all Tony Blair's faults (and I disliked him intensely when he was PM) I have to say Blair would have been much better dealing with this. Blair never missed a trick when he sensed the public attitude might have been supportive of a crack down on civil liberties, when the anti globalisation peace type protestors were out, Blair had the police battering ten shades of crap out of them, and I don't think under Blair the police would have been fannying around like they are now.

Be over in a few days. Knobheads thinking they're solid.

ha and me! the coffin table as well!

Thought rain may have stopped play tonight, but just starting again in Salford

[iLondon Riots - Manchester Riot Police Beat Teenagers On Bikes[/i

Will be interesting to see how that footage of the police beating up the teenagers is received by the public and if anything is done about it.



In normal circumstances I would have thought that would warrant a major investigation because that looks like a kid, who is unlucky enough to get caught by a few coppers, and they give him a real Saturday night beating setting about him with truncheons and it looks like one of the coppers boots his head when he goes to ground. With heavy copper boots thats going to hurt.



However I expect most people reacted the way I did











It could get tasty though if the coppers are bashing kids like that because one might die from head injuries and then that could turn public opinion back against the police. It wouldn't turn mine though I'd

again.

Who started that rumour, you?
