scotty Posted 8 August, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Saintandy666 Posted 8 August, 2011 Share 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.

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.

The Cat Posted 9 August, 2011 Share 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.
