I read the news today oh boy! Page 444

Those wankers are smashing up all the neighbourhoods my upcoming gigs are in.

Shoot them all!

With these riots, can the police not just surround them, kettle, smack them around a bit, and arrest them? Or is walking slowly forward in a line whilst they run off really the best option? Seems odd.

Blimey, and they think things are bad right now. Poor sods!

My hunch is the cops are trying to not do anything to exacerbate the situation like, you know, accidentally killing someone.

Sky reporting a number of shops in Hackney have been raided for booty.

It's just a shame.

Using the pretence of the police shooting
as cause, is ridiculous.

It's just an excuse for a load of two-bit Compton
wannabes to smash windows and steal phones.

The police don't really give a shit, because the
government doesn't really give a shit about them.

As usual it's the firemen and paramedics
who pick up the pieces.

The police do the best they can but without water cannons, tear gas and with fear of Liberty et al.

There's naff all they can do.

WTF is going on? It's spreading. Why?

Because with most youth services cut and no jobs, what the f**k are the kids going to do?

It's gone viral.

The Egyptians overthrew their oppressive government.

The British are trying to overthrow JD Sports.

Hopefully 5-10 years.

Is it genuine disaffection? For which the shooting was the catalyst? Or just a bunch of opportunistic hoons?

The latter.

Some half arsed yoot worker running a course on rapping and mixing would have been a lot cheaper.

A bullet is even cheaper still. ;)
