What is this rioting all about? It's supposed to be about this
I'm more or less like you Gort with the information. Mostly just an excuse now to cause trouble and steal things. These things nearly always are in Britain, start out as a protest and then the morons turn up and it turns into a disaster.

It is official the guy they shot and killed was part of the gang culture and a drug dealer?

This country really needs to sort its police force out, needs a very big change, tougher like in other countries and a change in uniform to make them look more menacing - always thought our police look like wimps, especially in those terrible unpractical hats... agree with bringing in the army for now.

Stupid Mayor Boris isnt even here, although I bet the city will quiet down if we roast him on a spit on Trafalgar Square. Oooh, delightful thought!
Another point is why do these things only occur in English and Irish cities? You never get riots in Scottish cities or Welsh ones.

I know why the Irish ones occur.

On telly this morning they were saying all the water cannons are in Ireland. Not a single one on mainland Britain! DOH! Unprepared or what.

Why would the Welsh or Scots ever riot? Are they unhappy too?

Indeed it is, 'just random youths looting' - that's still very bad. It's reached now where my brother is unfortunately, the police are telling people to lock doors, businesses up and so on. I hope it doesn't get too bad, or carry on where you are Hubbs.

Sometimes, I'm glad I live more or less in the countryside well away from the cities.

I love London. I think it is the bestest City in the World except for the somewhut disappointing showerhead technology.

I adore London too, but I couldn't live in a city(I did use to live near London, in Middlesex, but I was very little). I like spending a lot of time in them, but at the end of the day, I am a countryside girl.
