    I'm not signing the petition, 'cos it's stoopid, but I'm fascinated by how many signatures it'll get! It's got until February next year :)

    Add the number of petitioners to the number of rioters and maybe we could develop some sort of measure of the IQ of our country :)

    I am interested in what video you saw as the vast majority seem to show people looting without a care with their faces covered?

    I would of thought the very fact looting was allowed to take and the victims could not rely on police help them by any means by default means the looters were more protected than the victims?

    The fact that some then portray publishing photos of them is against their human rights just shows how nuts as a country we have gone.

    Try Youtube Manchester riots.

    That would be fine if you hadn't inferred in your previous post that it wasn't happening ;)

    What wasn't happening?

    I said
    As a country we have got to the stage where perpetrators are very well protected.

    I am not sure what you are referring too? not the video you were not referring too?

    The response over the world was that the response was more than light handed? I am surprised you think otherwise TBH.

    Will that mean I will see more videos of looters being dealt with than ones of looters looting?

    So now your suggesting anyone who signs this petition, at their own free will, using their right to "free speech" has a low IQ.

    May I say this is why I despise some lefties?

    Lefties stand up for free speech, human rights blah de blah, unless they don't like what others say, then they wish for those to be shutup instantly...if thats not possible, just insult them instead...cus that will make them look stupid for not believeing the same as a more extreme leftie.

    .

    What you wrote.
    Or a change in human rights, we had obviously gone so far to the left that when people steal in front of the police and they do nothing but watch.
