saintscottofthenortham Posted 8 August, 2011 Posted 8 August, 2011 Livingstone came across as a bit of a ****, just using the situation as an excuse for a political campaign! Thought you would be out rioting through the streets of Fair Oak...

benjii Posted 8 August, 2011 Posted 8 August, 2011 Livingstone came across as a bit of a ****, just using the situation as an excuse for a political campaign! Well, he is a **** so that's no surprise.
scotty Posted 8 August, 2011 Posted 8 August, 2011 What's been happening the last couple of days is in a whole different league to anything any of those you mentioned did. I'm just trying to read this again - "it's just a right of passage" - I assume you do have a tv? A right of passage, f*****g hell The riots in the early eighties were at least as bad as whats going on now. That did spread to Southampton, but in a fairly small way. I actually drove into town in the works minivan to see for myself wtf was going on, turned out to be just a few drunken w*nkers throwing empty beercans at shop windows but it got a lot of press. The london end was something different altogether.
benjii Posted 8 August, 2011 Posted 8 August, 2011 This is all largely due to the abolition of grammar schools.
sfc1971 Posted 8 August, 2011 Posted 8 August, 2011 Gosh ! Sometimes I wonder what Europe would be like now if we had lost the war ???

Sour Mash Posted 8 August, 2011 Posted 8 August, 2011 The riots in the early eighties were at least as bad as whats going on now. That did spread to Southampton, but in a fairly small way. I actually drove into town in the works minivan to see for myself wtf was going on, turned out to be just a few drunken w*nkers throwing empty beercans at shop windows but it got a lot of press. The london end was something different altogether. I'm well aware of what happened in the early 80s - but mods and rockers, Teddy Boys in the '50s, nothing like it. And describing it as a "right of passage" f***s sake, so stupid its not even funny.
benjii Posted 8 August, 2011 Posted 8 August, 2011 Gosh ! Sometimes I wonder what Europe would be like now if we had lost the war ??? Don't really see the link? I imagine this sort of thing would've been quite unlikely.
Jonnyboy Posted 8 August, 2011 Posted 8 August, 2011 Gosh ! Sometimes I wonder what Europe would be like now if we had lost the war ??? so that should be sfc1931
Jonnyboy Posted 8 August, 2011 Posted 8 August, 2011 I'm well aware of what happened in the early 80s - but mods and rockers, Teddy Boys in the '50s, nothing like it. And describing it as a "right of passage" f***s sake, so stupid its not even funny. I thought there were quite a few murders between the two groups? Burning down Aldi and nicking some Tvs....

shirleysfc Posted 8 August, 2011 Posted 8 August, 2011 Where's Gazza, his fishing rod and half a cold chicken when you need him?
Wade Garrett Posted 8 August, 2011 Posted 8 August, 2011 We should get the Army in to protect the citizens and businesses of London. They would do a better job than the Police.
SuperMikey Posted 8 August, 2011 Posted 8 August, 2011 I've put BBC News 24 on my laptop with the sound on mute, and 'Man at C&A' on in the background... This is truly the end of times!
Hedgehog Posted 8 August, 2011 Posted 8 August, 2011 Just send in the troops and shoot the ****ers. This is not a protest but anarchy, kids looting shops and whatever for their own gains. This would not be tolerated in other countrys.
Saint_clark Posted 8 August, 2011 Posted 8 August, 2011 Just send in the troops and shoot the ****ers. This is not a protest but anarchy, kids looting shops and whatever for their own gains. This would not be tolerated in other countrys. Don't quite agree with shooting them, but the military needs to be involved - and the police should be battering those involved rather than just advancing with their riot shields.
Smirking_Saint Posted 8 August, 2011 Posted 8 August, 2011 Don't quite agree with shooting them, but the military needs to be involved - and the police should be battering those involved rather than just advancing with their riot shields. They can't do this because of the goody two shoes attitude that this country has adopted. So well done to the Daily Mail generation.
SO16_Saint Posted 8 August, 2011 Posted 8 August, 2011 Hants police tweeted warning off people following through with the plans to riot in Southampton - as organised on social media sites...

Saint_clark Posted 8 August, 2011 Posted 8 August, 2011 It's spread to Birmingham, Liverpool and Salford...police station on fire in Brum...where the hell has all this come from...?
hamster Posted 8 August, 2011 Posted 8 August, 2011 Red Ken on BBC news just now...finger on the pulse
Saint_clark Posted 8 August, 2011 Posted 8 August, 2011 Red Ken on BBC news just now...finger on the pulse Sounds like he's excusing the inexcusable to me. "Theres young people at college who aren't sure if they can afford to go next year because the EMA has been cut" - well, in that case, loot and burn away you little f*ckers.
hamster Posted 8 August, 2011 Posted 8 August, 2011 I was being sarcastic, Ken Livingstone scoring political points is quite distasteful tbh.
Saintandy666 Posted 8 August, 2011 Posted 8 August, 2011 Ken Livingstone is right. We need to give these people a stake in society, a reason to exist. Bulldozing them down now will work in the short term, but if we just forget about them again once this is all over the problem will persist and you'll have the same situation again in a few years time.
Hedgehog Posted 8 August, 2011 Posted 8 August, 2011 Ken Livingstone just saw on telly, what a ****ing stupid **** he is. Oh dear i don't have a job oh dear my work prospects are poor, i know what i'll do go and raid Currys! How can he be considred a politician?
Saintandy666 Posted 8 August, 2011 Posted 8 August, 2011 They should be made to community service to clear up the areas they ruined to the value of which they stole and broke.
SuperMikey Posted 8 August, 2011 Posted 8 August, 2011 Ken Livingstone just saw on telly, what a ****ing stupid **** he is. Oh dear i don't have a job oh dear my work prospects are poor, i know what i'll do go and raid Currys! How can he be considred a politician? He's partially right, although it's more to do with the fact that these guys think it's just a laugh to go and do that without getting smashed up by a copper. Plus they can make some cash off their looted goods.
Saint_clark Posted 8 August, 2011 Posted 8 August, 2011 Don't wanna promote a different forum, but; http://www.footballforums.net/forums/showthread.php/276269-Summer-of-Riots-30-years-on/page43 Is a good place to follow this as it's got members from all round the country. Heard about Liverpool kicking off from that thread before the Beeb even knew.
Crazy Diamond Posted 9 August, 2011 Posted 9 August, 2011 A better class of scum has torn London apart before. We beat them. We'll beat this lot too. Want to see how quickly it escalates? http://yfrog.com/0wtduz
The Cat Posted 9 August, 2011 Posted 9 August, 2011 This is mental. The bloke on Sky News at Clapham is funny. He just went into a branch of Boots that had been looted and found that someone had emptied the contents of a packet of immodium. Theresa May might need some of that after saying this in September: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2010/sep/15/theresa-may-cut-police-budget-without-violent-unrest Oops
petermcpete Posted 9 August, 2011 Posted 9 August, 2011 This is also good: http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=1730507&page=282
LGTL Posted 9 August, 2011 Posted 9 August, 2011 What an absolute mess. Things are going from bad to worse across this country, and the world for that matter, and it all has to come to a head at some point. A shameful day.
Saint_clark Posted 9 August, 2011 Posted 9 August, 2011 Kicking off in Manchester and Nottingham now as well (reportedly). Hampshire police are on standby...again reportedly.
gaz Posted 9 August, 2011 Posted 9 August, 2011 http://yfrog.com/h07mxcyzj Apparently found on the floor inside an Argos. Looks organised to me.
LGTL Posted 9 August, 2011 Posted 9 August, 2011 I really hope our city doesn't get involved in this. I love Southampton for all its faults, I wouldn't want it to be asscociated with all this rubbish.

Mattio Posted 9 August, 2011 Posted 9 August, 2011 Word is they're planning to riot in southampton Friday... Police are warning people to keep and eye out, don't go out alone at night etc, also more on the street patrols... (source from a copper I know and BBM...)
Saint_clark Posted 9 August, 2011 Posted 9 August, 2011 Confirmed rioting in Bristol, rumoured rioting in Sheffield and Nottingham.
TVR_Fan Posted 9 August, 2011 Posted 9 August, 2011 The Daily Echo has an article: http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/9184228.Hants_police_on_standy_after_London_riots_spread/
