Lots of media are blaming social media for all these riots, but thanks to idiots like these who actually voluntarily film themselves stealing, its helping catch all of them.

No but the Express has said it wouldn't have happened if Diana was still alive.

On 5 Live right now Hulk Hogan is giving tips on how he'd sort all this out - seems to mostly involve drop-kicking people.

is this actually true??? Superb if it is.

I thought it seemed a little shortsighted for Manchester and Lancs constabularies to send all their public disorder trained police to London to help.  could be ugly there is it kicks off.

Something terribly wrong with the kids of today when they think it's not only ok to riot and steal/loot from shops but that it's actually funny to do so too.  There's tonnes of kids turning up at that Game store, unbelievable.

TBF, almost all of parliament is away on holiday so coming back within 48 hours is not bad.

You could argue that parliament should not have to be re-called to do something about this. All party leaders are back in the UK, the PM is here..let's see some action. What is there to vote on?

The only meaningful they can vote on is emergency legislation - that's not necessarily a good thing.

It's more likely that it will be supportive debates and vaguely meaningless statements come from it.

TBF i think he should have come back the first day it happened, instead of grimming waitresses on his hols.

I agree that they shouldn't have to be re-called. I think either the PM himself should be able to just give the go ahead be it over the phone from hols or even give the Police Commissioner himself the power to call in the Army when the police force clearly needs help.

It's politics, he doesn't want to make a decision and then have Labour putting photos of troops on the streets on their election leaflets for the next 10 years.

Also saw this video from Brum:



I do wonder about the people they found to interview though...

Recalling Parliament is simply so that MPs can have their bit where they appear on TV in the HoC and look all serious and graven-faced while saying how terrible all this is and that things should be done.

The people being interviewed in this are an abso joke. Blatantly either all in the same politics or film class at Uni. Clearly they don't have a job to go to. Laughable how he is implying police are using unnecessary force there.
