london riots

I am all for standing up for whats right but this is nothing more than criminals who are taking advantage, how can setting building on fire with people inside them help, destroying business's so they won't reinvest in the community or the kind of publicity they are getting going to help any cause they have.

The parents of the murdered boy have even said this is not what they want, its just opportunists I think. Problem is nothing done to them when they get caught. This country is going to the dogs............... xx

Can see what you mean del boy and agree but not fair on the innocent people. X

Just watched the news and whatever the reasons behind it starting to look quite scary and moving to other cities. X

absolutely bloody disgraceful!!
I'm in Brighton and hoping they dont move towards the coast ... or anywhere else for that matter... they cut our police forces and send the army to the middle east.... our country is going downhill badly... not feeling very proud to be British right now!

Hubby and his parents have always said that this would happen. They do re-inactments around the south east and now it is being made so hard for them to to continue considering it is showing people parts of history.

They honestly believe its the government, which hate the idea that there are big groups of people out there that can properly defend as they are organised.

These people in london are sick they are doing all this(most of them) for the pure fact that they can and to take what is not theirs. Destroying peoples livelyhoods and homes, where is the point to that. There is none. I do feel so sorry for the people that are losing everything.

I am proud to be both English and British and I will not let a mindless monority take that pride in our country from me. The vast majority of people in this country are decent, honest, hardworking, responsible folk, they always have been and always will be. DD

The Riots have spread across England now, and it's all being done via networking internet sites and messenger sites i.e MSN & Blackberry messenger. The networking sites like facebook and twitter are a big cause in the riots by young people sending coded messages via the sites.
It's amazing that one thing, can develop into something so hurrendous than this. And the shocking thing about all of this is some of the rioters are as young as 7yrs old! I feel that school summer holidays have something to do with this because of how long they are! The children get bored and they see a demonstration taking place and start causing trouble and boom you have a riot on your hands! And it spreads like that. And for our PM to stay on holiday until last night and he thought oh I think I should get back and because I will get a bad name otherwise, well you can see for yourselves he isn't fit to rule this country if it took 3 days of rioting for him to come back from his holiday because the country was in trouble! There we go rant over!!

School holidays are not the root of this. If children that young are taking part you have to wonder what the parents are doing - rather not doing eg being responsible parents for starters. When I was seven my mum always knew where I was and what I was doing. I am now 53 and she still bloody does. Quite what Mr C is supposed to do I don't know. Stand there and ask the naughty ones to behave?

Anyhoo, taking the fine example set by dissafected winkers up and down the land I am off to do me a ram raid in Daisy and help myself to a swanky perching stool. It's my right. DD

Welcome to the politically correct utopian multicultural theme park we’ve made for ourselves. Just think what this is going to cost to rebuild, the country is a total mess and going down the tubes as we watch.
What gets me is the likes of Diane Abbot and the other woman who’s a community representative blaming the Police and Britain for being institutionally racist as one of the main causes of this, total utter fecking BS, for Gods sake stop blaming everyone else for your kinds actions stand up and take responsibility for once. Were all in this together it’s no different for any of us so be adult about it for once, they also went on about how “they felt left out and angry about the economy!” what the??!!, Jesus they weren’t looking for food and water it weren’t that desperate if so they wouldn’t have burnt it all down for fun, no they just wanted new TV’s DVD players and JJB sports nylon chav wear as they couldn’t arsed to pay for it.
Bloody thieving thugs who have no moral compass or respect for anyone who isn’t in their hood or a homie total gangsta they’ve been brought up with no real morals or respect and a have a chip on their shoulders placed their by Ms Abbot and the left wing PC brigade this is just the result of their propaganda and anti establishment views.
Police aren’t meant to be your friends their there to Police you and your community, if you don’t go around drug dealing in a gang then your not going to be hassled are you, and anyway where are the bloody parents in all of this, these gangs are just young kids, if their parents give two sh*$s and are more interested in pissing the dole money up than being a parent then they’ve only got themselves to blame here.
The community these kids come from have failed themselves no one else did this not the state, not the schools, not the Police, not the white working or middle classes, you did it to yourselves, YOU and your kids did it, because you didn’t or couldn’t be arsed to teach them right from wrong when they were young you washed your hands of them and left it up to the schools and the state to bring them up for you.
Once the dust has settled don't start the normal moaning about lack of this or that or it's the Police and the racists state, stand up and admit you and your community have serious social problems that need to be adddressed by you firstly, the buck stops with you, after all no one else made your kids do it.
