And Birmingham apparantly.  And someone said Liverpool?
Its scary tho, the potential for this is in all of us.  :/

yes.....and now the politicians are back we can all sleep soundly tonight....yeah right!!!!
fucking arrogant w*nkers...so detached from reality....in their cossetted tuscan villas and £1000 a night LA hotels

all of this was on it's way for a while....the student marches and public sector strikes.......the whole nation is at breaking point with a government who don't care......and lied and lied ane lied to get power, then reneged on ALL of the pre-election promises they made......Clegg should be publically flogged, Cameron should be dragged through the streets and Osborne should be force-fed his own arrogant-smug face

it'll be interesting to see what happens tonight...more police (16,000 in london) all leave cancelled.....will that mean that the rioters stay home? or come in greater numbers?

i noticed how cameron didnt face any real people today...just the emergency workers....

at least Boris faced his public criticism

- short post script: apparently one or two places have had incidents already tonight

yes kinda, wolvohampton has joined in and thats close to me

The people doing the looting are a disgrace, there is no excuse for it

I joined in the revolution today and stood on the right of the escalator.  In Australia, we have a strict "stand on the left, overtaking on the right" policy.

You are a radical menace to society Zebonka! In all seriousness though, my best wishes go out to  the British people. Especially to you buggers that frequent this site. The rioters are bound to become bored soon and the crisis will pass.

I just wonder -- i know they are bringing in extra police, but why haven't they brought in the army as an emergency measure?  I mean, i know nobody wants a police state, but there's anarchy.  Surely if they brought in an army or civil defense presence it would help?

Are things in London and everywhere else back to normal?
