i guess most of us haven't been running around in the riots to have the in depth knowledge that you do. i mainly saw people with hoodies or masks on and couldn't really tell.

did you get a new TV while you were out confirming your racist view?

Woah! It's not racist to say that the majority of the rioters seen were of black or asian ethnicity. It's true! It's like saying the sky is blue. It's a fact.

I suggest you shove your race card back up your botty until you know how to use it correctly. :mad:

Whos fault is it?

It's our fault.

The governments reduced the individual councils funds, the councils removed the youth centres, play areas etc so the kids have nowt to do, so they grow up thinking its all there is, the government allow us to have such wonderful immigration policies and so on and so on.

We voted the government in.

Somehow - sat in my armchair - I just knew these riots would be all my fault.

This is nothing to do with the government it is to do with the people using the government for an excuse. Some girls were interviewed saying that it is to show the police they can. Then they said yeah to show the tories, or whoever it is in power now! Brilliant!
Can you really see them in the queue to vote at their local school? No!
They will use any excuse that they can to justify it. I bet non of them work or go to school.... so they cant expect a better life can they!?

Police need more powers.... why should they be put on the front line against these idiots who arne't even scared of them? Any other country would have water canons and plastic bullets used and people would have been too scared to stay out on the streets!

I just hope that people realise that there is no-one else to blame other than the scum that did this. Just wait in a few months, these scum will be moaning that their areas are all rundown (because of all the shops and houses they burnt down!) Idiots!

I don't agree that it's nothing to do with the government.
If the governement weren't so lenient the last few years then this probably wouldn't have happened.
If they toughened up and actually had proper punishments for crimes, prisons that are not like summer camps, and a police force that didn't rely on consent to police, then people would think twice about commiting a crime.

Did anyone hear the report on the news last night - I think it was in Manchester, that the rioters had broken into and looted an Oxfam!!!????

!!!!!!, what were they after? A cardigan, some jigsaw puzzles and a few old vases?

I completely agree - what I meant was that the rioters are saying that they are doing this as some sort of protest to the government for the condiotions they have to live in etc.....
completely agree that the gonvernment are lucky that this hasn't happened sooner.... people need to fear punishments from court and not laugh on the way out!!

Well Boo Hoo; the gov doesn't respect young hoodie criminals according to them .The Gov doesnt respect the elderly many of whom fought for this country , the disabled , the average tax payer struggling to make ends meet against rising inflation tax and mortgage costs ,Soldiers off fighting other nations battles ,
but you wont find thousands of people with wheelchairs and zimmer frames down the local shops chucking firebombs , Why becasue WE have some respect for others and their property ,
when i was a kid and was naughty i'd get a smack off my mum and dad if a neighbour said they were going to tell your parents when you were caught doing something wrong we were scared we didnt have games consoles designer stuff, bling or mobile phones and were a darn sight more well behaved
the government caused this by taking away the rights of parents to chastise their own kids and teach them respect , nothing scares youngsters in to good behaviour these days they do what they like because they CAN !

First, we get the MPs disrespecting the law/acting immorally, then we get the press/media doing it, then actually some of the police are found dioing it.

Is it really so surprising when those we are supposed to set an example to (i.e. the young), do the same?
