Water cannon won't solve this, this is kids hitting and running. they will either stop when they are bored of it or the authorities fill the streets with 20,000 extra police.

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

Apparently the police are not even allowed to use batons ...

What ... the ... fuck ...

If I was a member of the police then I wouldn't give a fuck about being fired or prosecuted. I'd just start beating the shit out of the arsehole thugs.

 

[Maleficence]

Yeah, no.

The more I see, the more I agree with you. Still I think the situation is manageable without it.

 

[kaizoku]

90% of stopping anything tonight has nothing to do with needing cannons/army. The Met has simply got to get their shit together and prevent groups forming in the type of areas where it's already happened. Rely on the public calling in groups, and form groups of 20+ officers to go around dispersing people.

sorry but thats deluded.

20+ officers cant do shit when faced with 100-200 yobs. Lets not forget police aren't just bodies you throw at a problem, they're people. They tire, they get injured etc

UNLEASH THE ZOMBIES!

 

[CadetMahoney]

did anyone notice how much the media were mentioning twitter and overtly suggesting how looters were using technology to organize things.

 

[Chopper]

That Sony distribution center in Enfield is fucked.

 

[strata8]

The mayor sure did a good job making it look like the police aren't spying on you.

 

[Kentpaul]

its clear we need an emergency vote and government change ASAP

david cameron in the make-up room making touches to his face instead of speaking to the nation.

edit FTW HES ON

 

[ruttyboy]

Wow, not seen that one before, that's really quite... sinister. Wonder if they meant it to be.

 

[Maleficence]

I'm actually all for rubber bullets. Seriously do it.

 

[Margalis]

Is "secure beneath the watchful eyes" supposed to be comforting?

From a US perspective that's kind of ominous and disturbing.

 

[MarkMclovin]

Cam on now.

 

[JMB]

PM on now

 

[panda21]

oh I read that the sony plant that got burnt down had stock from lots of independent record labels in it who are now fucked.. boomkat.com has been tweeting a lot about it

 

[painey]

oh good, David Cameron is condemning the rioting. Glad he came back from holiday for this announcement.

 

[Funky Papa]

The more I see, the more I agree with you. Still I think the situation is manageable without it.

The amount of destruction and ruined lives is more than enough to call for some CS bombing. Hundredos of people have lost cars, jobs, homes.

If things keep going wrong, a call to the TA should be warranted.

 

[Maleficence]

Get on with it Cam, whatcha gon do?

 

[Trick_GSF]

Like something out of a Dystopian movie..

At least they're honest about what they're doing. You'd have to be naive to think the US government doesn't do the same.

 

[marrec]

Damnit, I thought he was going to say 'Robot police action.'

 

[glaringradio]

Cameron really needed to just take the stand and immediately say exactly what they're going to do to solve this. So far, he's just making an extended apology, muddled with stating the bloody obvious.

2 chavs on bbc world today: 'its the fault of the rich people, the ones who own businesses'

Those two and the girl who was like "I is gettin our taxes back innit" need euthanizing on the spot to save themselves from their own stupidity. The reporters should be immediately responding "are you really that thick?"

The sad thing is, they're not thick. They know that kind of talk will play into the pathetic displays of empathy and understanding from our nations heart bleeders and academics.

Every single one of them should have a truncheon thrust into their throat so hard it busts out the back of their neck, they should have their blackberries shoved up their arse... self entitled, horrible, twatty, cuntish little brats. The parents should be punished too for failing to get a grip of their fuckin' demon spawn.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

I bet they're quaking from this speech...

:\

 

[PJV3]

How this great nation came to be run by this 3rd rate PR man i will never know.

 

[Metal-Geo]

'Full force' eh?

Wtf. That's it?

 

[panda21]

'we are on the side of the law abiding public'

no shit

 

[HotHamWater]

Well that was a fucking waste of time.

 

[killer_clank]

he's all like 'lol, fuck this shit'

 

[Maleficence]

That was it? Pathetic show Cameron.

 

[Plasma]

I feel really safe now.

 

[Xavien]

woo more Police that'll do the trick... lol

 

[Reno7728]

Well thank god they are recalling parliament so everybody can condemn this together...

 

[baekshi]

walks away like a boss

 

[glaringradio]

That's it?

 

[MarkMclovin]

Just sounded like a warning to me.

Just what we needed.

 

[painey]

"Now if you'll excuse me, there is important work to be done"

30mins on the tanning bed.. he left his holiday before he could get an even tan on his back

 

[Gowans]

That didn't have enough teeth in it at all.

 

[Kentpaul]

now the news are repeating what the pm has said, and all the pm said was stuff we seen on the news

the country is fucked, i'm locking my door.

 

[Wes]

A recall of parliament eh?

 

[Übermatik]

Wow, that's it? Well that sucked major camel dick.

 

[Mecha_Infantry]

Reassuring from our PM..lol

I know this shit won't happen if it was iMessage rather than BBM

 

[Infinite_Daremo]

Well that was a fucking waste of time.

You were expecting something else?

 

[Juicy Bob]

I don't think that told us anything we didn't already know, did it?

'zactly.

 

[panda21]

given how completely overwhelmed they were last night, i have a feeling the extra police won't make much of a difference

 

[Polari]

Turns out creating a CCTV police state doesn't work if you don't have the police out there to enforce the surveillance.

 

[Xavien]

I guess now we see what type of PM David Cameron really is.

 

[Nuborn]

lol he said jack shit. Even the PM is a sack of shit

 

[Coxy]

ok so 16,000 police in london tonight, great, have they completely ignored what's been happening in other areas though?
