[Closed] Tottenham Riots

Yeah I heard about that about and hour ago!

Sorry to dissappoint but we don't have any water cannon on the mainland to the best of my knowledge, army may have some I suppose but they have only ever been used in NI in policing actions and it'll take a while to bring them over. Pity really as many of the UK's scrotes could do with a pressure wash.

Kidding aside its all getting a little bit nasty isn't it, I've been glued to the TV like its some grim disaster movie, couple of friends up in Camberwell area texting and it doesn't sound much fun.

Edit: beaten to the (watery) punch on the cannon

Apparently the water has to be warm in case folks get a chill when hit by cold water...................

Just swapped a few texts with a mate who is in the MET asking him why the Feds are being so "weak" in their response? His answer-

"Government policy apparently...."

police really are overwhelmed right now it seems

claphams been done over too now

the government have a policy?
or is it just - we'll wait till borris and dave get back coz i dont want to make any decisions?

Clapham's been done over too now

Yeah - because David Cameron doesn't have access to a phone/pc/video-conferencing capability 🙄

Surprised the Police never used tear gas to disperse the crowds and also
able to make arrests and break this up quickly.
Think the adults need to walk onto the streets and take control of there
communities and surrounding area's.

Well that just goes to show, mudshark, we need more youth clubs!

now, just be cynical, tell the police not to go in, use parliament to force through special measures. Ban any assemblies, reintroduce the riot act etc. Then when the cuts really start no protesting will occur.

If there's no water cannons here in the U.K., how about using some of these instead ?

Just watched that vid. Does he clocked by someone at the end! Brave man if you ask me but a bloody fool also!!

Fark knows what their policy is...The whole "bath water warm cannon policy" is still ringing in my ears! This country has gone civil rights and policy f*ckin mad!!

problem is there's a lot of rubberneckers hanging around, and I think the police will be afraid of gassing the non-rioters.
and if that's not true, they'll probably use that as an excuse in the aftermath.

Carmichael water cannon! I think It may cut them In half.

It's going off in Birminham, JJB is taking a right hammering!

Agreed. I waiting for the imams at the Croydon mosque to form a militia army - it put a stop to the looting Baghdad.

TJ and Fred hug a rioter

What idiot posted this tag? Come one, don't be coward; have the balls to say it in a post.

And then maybe have a read of other stuff I've posted about this; again, you might learn something.

You say that like it's a bad thing... 😈

Must have a few of these at the City Airport.

fred you shouldnt let tags wind you up, wear it as a badge of pride that youve pi$$ed off a muppet

Looks like Jessops and Currys/Comet has been cleared out........Waterstones remains untouched.

Comment from a looter (female) when asked live a few minutes ago on Sky News what she was doing - "getting my taxes back". FFS 😯

You're right actually. And there's an awful lot of muppets on here...

There are murmurs of vigilanties. In one instance a gang of muslim teenager protecting a mosque attacked a group trying to break into an islamic bank and there were also reports of a group of turkish men protecting there shops and dealing out beatings with baseball bats.

The general consensus in eltham is that if anyone comes in to steal or start fires they will be dealt with.

That's the spirit.

I think a branch of O'Neills was protected by fifteen men wearing helmets and carrying hurleys.

Text from my friend 'on the scene' - 'scumbags just kicked in doors of off licence over the road stealing all the booze, police need to man up'

hopefully his flat gets left alone, his flatmate has got a lovely road bike

Civil War has begun! Vive le revolution!

Civil War has begun! Vive le revolution!

because revolution is all about the theft of TVs and booze 🙄

EDIT: or are you being sarcastic?

If you're going to revolt, at least do it properly, seize and secure land!

you lot of misfits watching newsnight now?

Sarcastic, it's a right bloody mess isn't it.

Pointless if your just going to lay in bed til 3pm the next day.

Hmm, you're right...

Where was it you live again?

The Met need to MTFU and get their fingers out of their fat arses, think i'll be safe enough in me sleepy wee village in the highlands unless the 2 village teenagers want to jump on the bandwagon and do the local post office!

so seems to me that the Big Inner City Gang in one area shows it's strength and power by ransacking their area and getting away with it...

the neighbouring BICG says "hey guys, that looks fun, and more importantly, we need to show this area is our area to ransack... make sure no other BICG's ransack our neighbourhood, we'll do it and show our power too"

neighbouring BICG's around london and other cities repeat-untill...!!!!

Where was it you live again?

relocating from your beloved london fred?

Are they still rioting? Aren't they going too tired to work effectively tomorrow? 🙄

Nah, just fancy somewhere to stash me bikes, and grow some tomatoes actually.

I got a tiny little plot in an urban garden scheme today! 🙂

Nobody seems to be asking why they are rioting.

I blame Thatcher
