I wonder if they'll carry on cutting the frontline budget??? Hmmmm...
Exactly! Fewer police-officers. Drastic cut-backs on benefits and public jobs. It can only get worse.
Factor in the world economic crisis and it is obvious that the VERY rich have to stop squeezing the rest of the world. They are still making millions whilst governments cannot allow financial institutions to fail. The reason that the institutions can't be allowed to fail is not to protect the very rich, it is because so many people have 'bought into' the institutions at the behest and encouragement of Government.
People were delighted as their holdings (pension pots, value of their homes etc) rocketed through the roof. They will never forgive any political party who allows it all to fall to an arse.
It is a complicated picture but I believe that things will 'come to a head' quicker nowadays than they did in the late 70s and early 80s and the same 'Thatcherite Medicine' will not be tolerated.
Slightly OT. I find it amusing that there is wall-to-wall coverage because it is happening in London. If it was happening in N. Ireland it may get mentioned on the news in a 2 minute segment.
Funniest thing that I've seen in years. A Sky reporter stepped into a looted Boots. "This is what they're looting'. Reporter picks up an empty packet and says "Imodium'.
Not the story he wanted. Imodium is diarrhoea medicine.
we wont get the army on the streets to sort the little fuckers out cos we,d rather send them to a pointless unwinnable war somewhere else . Just letting the little fuckers do what they want till they get bored . Country's a joke

Come on Begs, everyone knows you can't loot effectively with a runny bum!
I thought this was all a part of Begbie's birthday party. The trains around here better not be effected, I'm going to bath (the place, not the tub) tomorrow.
Fecking Tories. Last lot of serious riots? Under a Tory government.
Withdraw from the two needless wars, save billions=don't have to cut public spending as drastically=sort out problems here=people won't be as pissed off.
lots of talking goin on by the bigwigs saying any rioters will be punished ,HOW ? £100 quid fine that they wont pay ? Cant jail the feckers cos they are overcrowded . its a fkin joke .
