It's worrying and seems to me like the riots of the early 80's, not that I remember much about all that just remember seeing it on the news....

However they are looting shops with nothing in them.

Around Clapham Junction station they were filmed looting Wimpy and Ladbrokes.

How strange...unless they thought there would be cash....which there won't be apart from a £50 float in the tills.

What I meant was, some of the nastiest thugs on Britain's streets are 'asylum seekers' from Somalia.

And many many more of them are bored British youths that have not been taught in proper schools, left in sink hole areas while middle class parents send little jonny and camellia to nice places.

It's the problem when you base a society on a class system. It creates dissent.

They can't get jobs because they can't read and write as the government can't be bothered to sort out schools for them.

Blame immigrants if you must but you're behaving just like them, displacing blame.

Probably wanted a burger as they got hungry, and with what cash they found they wanted to place a bet!

Mindless idiots if you ask me, Just out to get what they can no real reason behind it all...

Those fruit machines have an awful lot in them. Although, someone was trying to wrench the flat screen TV off the wall from Ladbrokes and it remained firm.

Clegg predicts a riot

Frontline article by Patrick Ward, December 2010
"There's a danger of having any government of any composition led by a party which doesn't have a proper mandate across the country try to push through really difficult decisions. I think a lot of people will react badly to that."

So said Nick Clegg on Sky News, back in April 2010, as he warned people of the consequences of not voting Lib Dem.

He also argued that there was "a really serious risk" of rioting in the streets should the Tories "slash and burn public services with a thin mandate".
At last - Nick Clegg keeps a pre-election pledge.
