Sweet!

Quote: DaButt @ August 8 2011, 8:34 PM BSTHorses are surprising effective and typically wear protective gear. They're essential in the classic riot dispersal technique: keep pushing everyone back, back, back.
Do you mean on their bodies? The ones I just saw only had something on their heads.

Haha, think they're actually trying to pick up satellite telly on the cheap!

Just spoke to my father;
His solution is to charge them with fixed bayonets
Quote: AJGO @ August 8 2011, 8:39 PM BSTTrying not to be paranoid but difficult in the midst of smoke and shouting. How does one go about making a homemade flamethrower? If it involves wasting my beer to ignite then I'm not interested. I have an orange t-shirt I could wave and hope people are fooled
Ha, lynx can and a lighter maybe?
If you do take to the streets armed, remember to stake their hearts and cut off the heads. It's the only way.

That would be awesome.

Only if Dylan Moran comes with me.
Great, now Croydon's on fire, that's another batch of family to worry about

Is that all you've got to f*ckin' worry about Cameron?
The bloody country is in flames and you're pissing about tipping waitresses?
When the smoke clears around your way, the attitudes
towards the yoof hoodie element will be hateful.
Rightly so.
(I know not all are involved, and not all seem that young
but still, this US-rapper/crips/bloods wannabe subculture shit should've
been tackled somehow before. Not with ASBOs and a trip to Alton
Towers, and not with right-on mentors claiming these misguided
youths add to the 'vibrancy' of Tottenham)

Yep.
It's f**king weird out there tonight.
I just went out for smokes. It took 20 minutes to find anywhere open, when I did the shelves were pretty much bare. They said looters had took the stuff.
Not sure if they were serious, or if they'd just sold out because they were the only place open.
My local tube station is closed too. Some talk about a bank being set on fire nearby.
The nearest riot, per the Beeb, is a good half-hour walk away.

That was days ago! He's not psychic. Apparently he's coming home tonight, along with Boris.
Cameron apparently just got on a plane to come home and head a COBRA meeting. (BBC)
