Around 100 kids looting in Manchester (really don't know why they told them they were sending loads of their police down here)
I read the news today oh boy! Page 466

Presumably Amazon has no idea what's going on in the world and so no social responsibility?
Reminds me of the OFAHs episode where Del sold the ski-ing gear to the thugs.
This guy is a hardcore looter.

It's always tempting to blame technology in this kind of situation.
It can also be used for good.

A pilau riot.
In case anyone hasn't seen, woman telling looters some truths about themselves

Rumours something going on in Brighton
Quote: Nogget @ August 9 2011, 4:45 PM BSTI read someone blaming successive Labour governments for reducing police numbers. Perhaps the truth is that they reduced numbers because they needed fewer. The tories come in and there are riots; could this be causal?
That is total bollocks! There is no justification for this kind of activity.
Interesting (and brief!) article trying to make sense of impact of economic inequalities

It's got bugger all with economic inequalities. It's just an opportunity to steal stuff with little chance of getting caught and to have a go at the police.

He's playing the long grain.
Not a helpful statement from the IPCC there.

Ha ha! 
He's posing as a looter with a bag of Tesco Value rice!! He couldn't even get the expensive stuff like Uncle Ben's. Hardly Che Guevara!

Largely agree. Just wondering what can be done for these and future generations so that we can perhaps get closer to a fairer and safer society. No excuse for being a violent thieving piece of shit

Nice timing. Did they work extra hard to have that prepared just before going home time, to ignite/excuse whatever goes on tonight? Like that couldn't have waited until tomorrow
