Or at least the water cannons, so we can see the rats that are destroying the beautiful city washed back down the streets!!!!
only if we can manage to keep all the rioting in one thread.

Are you still angry with robbing bankers?
I seriously hope not. But I fear....
I don't think the police can handle this and I think it will get worse tonight.
British troops on our streets? Is that part of the big society thing?
Yup, get the army out, give them a cricket bat each and 10 cans of cs and tell them to go have fun
Ooo rah! Just like in nam
Wonder if they'll end up cutting fingers off dead rioters instead of dead Taliban?
we need a few of these:

Always worked in Ulster....
With the police over stretched and the armed forces committed overseas its going to fall to historic battle re-enactors to step up to the plate and deal the mighty blow for justice. Time to suit up Muddydwarf. 🙂

Totten-nam?
Just so long as they don't have water pistols - plays havoc with the armour! 😆
muddydwarf - MemberJust so long as they don't have water pistols
or big magnets 😉
Or the worst - itching powder!!!
Hasn't the UK got a large contingent of paintballers we could send in?
water pistols followed by magnetic itchy powder for the win 😀
no water cannon in england, closest is NI
Hope not im on leave and recovering from sits. Historic battle re-enactors should be able to sort it 🙂

Just spoken to a mate whose a copper. Pretty much hoping that the government give the go aheadfor the rubber bullets and water cannons. He's off from Sussex police along with a load of others so hope he'll be ok
Do you think we'd be allowed to re-create the arrowstorm from Agincourt down Tottenham High St? 8)
No water cannons in England?? WTF?? Just get those foamy ones from heathrow big bag of pills and everyone should end up loved up. Much better!

Crosses off Marks and Spencers foodhall, and adds Games Workshop to looting list
Ahem. Greetings from Clapham Junction. My one visit to London this year too. Is it always like this?
they were obviously expecting you.
Bloody cockneys - don't have any clue how to do things in the right order. Its supposed to be plague first, THEN a big fire!
Always worked in Ulster....
Good point well made. Take heed people.
no army on the streets, it would be too high a political price (plus probably not too many available)
I would expect to see the police/ home office preparing detention centre's , the main issue they have is everytime they arrest someone they need somewhere to put them, cells will be full and leaving the mob on the street isn't tenable

Apparently there's going to be trouble next week.
CFH - go on I'm intrigued, tell me how putting troops on the streets of ulster 'helped'.
Muddy unfortunately the cockneys I know are discussed at what their 'local community' are doing.

I'm pretty sure we have but they can't just use them it's all down to government permissions or something.
Cobra? He must be getting on a bit now.

The police do not have any direct access to any water cannons on the uk mainland. The only ones they have any direct access to are in northern ireland. I'm not sure if the military have any, if they do the MOD will have to be called in as they will have to operate them.
This is what you need a No $hit Robot

Well if nobody else is prepared to do it then I'm just going to have to press the big red button and deploy Mumsnet

TJ - why not get the local superhero padded/fred/safety to save the day? 😆
We could kill 2 birds with one stone:
Dress the rioters up in something nice and warm:

and then parachute them into northern Spitsbergen. I'm sure that the money raised from selling the TV coverage rights would be enough to rent a Hercules and buy some 2nd hand parachutes.
Result- fewer criminals in the UK, and happy well fed polar bears in Norway.
