London riots: If you listen carefully

  • Here's an idea. Lets make prisons horrible places to be and then people may actually not break the law and behave like idiots. Forget their human rights as criminals - they behave like animals so lets treat them like that. If animals behaved like that they would be put down. That is so the animal doesn't do it twice. If we put down these idiots then no one needs to worry about them or their behaviour. No doubt some nicey nicey person will come on here and blast out some ethical rubbish but the fact is that these people do nothing but bring down society and therefore need removing. No trianing, rehabilitation, educaton. Just get rid.

    With that I do expect Oldham to join in any time now, there just a bit slow up here.

    Ah, Oldham. Boundary Park, the only place where 'sh** ground, no fans' is actually an understatement. :D

    True we have problems seeing at night.

    + looting primark can't be much fun.

    Apparently Poundland in Peckham was looted.

    Looting a Poundland !!!!!!. They're so unambitious they can't even loot decent shops.

    They're simply not.

    The races involved reflect the races that are in gangs in London. There is no racial animosity in the rioting.

    what is your opinion for this situation? I would like to know your personal opinion. British policy vs. Madness?? Basically, I am really tolerant man, but these riots haven´t any substantiations. We have to tolerate illegal guns, drugs, violence in streets...? NO! I think Europe is a home of european people and also the home of British history and heritage. I´m AGAINST these crazy people in our London!

    They need to get minister for housing Hamish McTavish and his team (possibly containing Phil, Kirstie and Beeny) to use his amazing ramping skills and develop the area to get 7 figure sums for those 2 bedroom flats again.

    How can these be "race riots" when the £$%^ers are all standing side by side to loot shops together! If anything it is showing a great deal of inter-racial cooperation and harmony as they all work together to smash their local communities.

    Now you have me worried that the rioters are all astute little Ruperts and Lucindas who follow Hamish on MSE.

    They read his post about American banks demolishing houses to reduce supply and drive up prices, then with one eye on their future inheritances began demolishing/burning houses themselves.
