Millwall fans chanting "You'll never take our high street" http://yfrog.com/5zbwwz

Never thought I'd feel proud about what Millwall fans were doing. I bet the yobs will avoid those streets tonight.

in a few parts of south london charlton and millwall have got together to defend high streets that were smashed up last night. it's all a bit surreal

yea heard this in eltham?

Yeah, started in eltham

[Bongo]

Signs not wrong though, pretty incred value.

No looting/rioting in Brighton although i did hear last night someone got nicked on the beach for smoking a joint, shocking times i barely feel safe in my apartment.

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...

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.

Absolute rofl at the student twits in this video having sympathy with the rioters and assuming some kind of political motivation to people who can't even spell policits. They were even kind enough to block out the faces of the people being arrested by police from the looted store. It is both insanely tilting, but also hilarious, how the one clown tries to help them at about 8:05 by shouting pointless legal advice at them, "don't say anything until you get a solicitor." Definitely the most tilting moment of the riots so far for me

[easypickings]

This interview has depressed me beyond belief.

Yeah, this is the most depressing thing I've seen about the riots.

 Whenever the committee sits down to pick apart the reasons a young generation managed to do this, they should be using this as the opening scene. It's not the minority of hardened criminals, but the mass of young people who don't give a damn, have no respect for the fellow person, and are ignorant beyond belief. It's absolutely nothing to do with politics for them, anything they drivel about it is just meaningless cliches that they have been fed.

Just drove through St Ann's in Nottingham, Saw two shops that obv had their doors kicked in yesterday. There was also a fairly menacing looking group of about 20 guys just loitering around a couple of hundred yards up from the health centre.

Business as usual then.

Sounds pretty standard.  I bet the yobs in the Meadows will want to show that they can outdo those from St Ann's.
Also, Forest v County match tonight.  Not sure that's the best idea in the world.

Dunno about that, I drive through there most days and I've never seen a big gang like that hanging around.

Sorry, was just being facetious.

Looks like quite a bit kicked off in Nottingham overnight: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-nottinghamshire-14469857

Looks like it's kicked-off slightly different in Nottingham,with gangs committed to carrying out acts of vandalism, compared to the looting and vandalism in other cities, but that might just be how it's being reported.

[kinboshi]

That will be fine until someone gets killed.

Unfortunately, it sounds like that's what has happened.

Fuck me I'm only a few hundred metres from Clarendon college. I nipped out to the shop last night about 9pm and there were loads of randoms on the street on Mansfield road. During the week there aren't that many people normally wandering around at that time, but it was busier than a saturday night.

Millwall fans chanting "You'll never take our high street" http://yfrog.com/5zbwwz

Never thought I'd feel proud about what Millwall fans were doing. I bet the yobs will avoid those streets tonight.

in a few parts of south london charlton and millwall have got together to defend high streets that were smashed up last night. it's all a bit surreal

This is what the police lack - heart, comitment and a love for a proper scrap

disagree. I think a lot of them are up for a  scrap but the advantage that the footy fans have got is they're not scared of losing their job if they get stuck in

This is the ultimate example of how PC has fucked up this country.

People aren't allowed to smack their kids, teachers that have to take abuse from kids and can't do any thing about it, why is anybody surprised at all this happening with the lack of respect these people have for others and their property?

And then as you say the police aren't allowed to get stuck in because of all the health and safety rules that have been brought about by PC creeping in everywhere, its all gone too fucking far now, the tide needs to turn. The people who bleat on about PC all the time should hang their heads in shame.

As with many things in life there need to be a sensible balance of things, not extremes in either direction
