I'm surprised that the riots have been going for 3 days already and nobody has made a thread about it yet. Then again, I only learnt about it today. London, Birmingham, Liverpool, Croydon are all going up in smoke (to varying degrees), apparently. Reasons are as yet not fully identified but speculation has it that youth unemployment and dissatisfaction with the austerity measures are primary factors.

Anybody got any insights? Especially from the Poms.

I was wondering why I was being treated like I was speculating on foreign affairs, yes Master i am British in case you didn't know.

However I am disgusted with my nation, as soon as possible I'm baling out of this hell hole.

You know on the news you mostly see "colored people" it is the correct term here. And I saw a man who says foreigners always were oppressed and tha the jails are full of them.

LOL, just saw this and thought I had to post it:

wow... just wow. Fail. How can anyone be stupid enough to do that?! "Guys look at all the stuff I took lol!"

You should move to Canada. RCMP would never allow crime to get out of hand like that.

Only in Hackney, and a couple of other places in london, which is understandable since they are the majority of the population.

You fail on many levels, don't blieve evrything you hear

*cough* Vancouver riots and looting *cough*

Aside from that, Canada is a safe place. The only thing to worry about are the politicians and the (literally) collapsing quebec infrastructure (I need to escape this province soon).

I did not know that you were British (which was why I asked).

Me defending England? Surely not..

England had a very good reason to riot. The public needed to get the governments attention for the atrocities that control the running of the United Kingdom.
Canada rioted because they lost a game..

We have lots and lots and lots of reasons to riot, however there has been no rioting, only crime, that is what you guys need to realize, whether you think we should or not, we haven't had one. IT WAS A CRIME SPREE, NOTHING MORE.
atrocities that control the running of the United Kingdom.


I Have no idea what you mean by that? We have had several corruption scandals and cover ups if thats what you mean?

We haven't rioted, we have murdered, stole, beaten, fought, shoplifted, we have not rioted, these thugs had no political or moral reasons to do so.

Sproos. Your entire message confused me.
You say "We". Who is we?

Do you mean the riots in England was a crime spree and nothing more?
If so. It started peacefully, but as always, turned violent and then all the cling-ons who weren't protesters began the crime.

Who have had several corruption scandals?

I was referring to the English governments expenses scandal, the police shooting a man, the anger of increased living costs and rise to Uni fees.

By we I mean, Britain, the |British people.

Precisely

It started peacefully,


No it didn't. The community where Mark Duggan lived marched against the police and attacked the police station, from that point in they lost their morals and it became a crime spree.

Cash for honors (a while a go but its resurfacing (sort of)) and the phone hacking scandal, as well as those you listed

The actual people affected by Marks death handled the situation very good. I don't really believe that the crime spree had anything to do with him. It was just the spark that lit the fuse. & Then you had thugs stealing from shops for the heck of it.

It started with his family making a peaceful appeal in protest. Then the community marched against the police.

I think they just need to shoot some riotters with real bullets.
It will scare everyone off.
And a night clock for a few days/weeks so nobody is on the streets after .. Hour
