Sky have the helicopter up now but going off some reports there does seem to be a general quietness.

I've had an idea!...

The big problem is that the police can't arrest many as it means that for each oik they detain it takes several police off the streets.

So why so just grab as many as possible and handcuff them and then let them go. It would mean that they can't cause much more trouble and would have to go home to their parents and explain themselves.

Another option would be to shoot them in the calves. They wouldn't be rioting again anytime soon, and you wouldn't be violating their human rights by killing them. Oh, and it would be a nice deterrant too IMHO...

frank what makes you think that their parents give a flying feck? i suspect a significant proportion never see their fathers. and what family they do have, well i doubt if they have much in common with the values that your family as or mine.

I'm heading out, as what's going is making me angry!

We're putting liberal values above the rights of ordinary, law abiding citizens!

How many more buildings will have to go up in smoke before we start breaking some balls and take control???

i cant believe what im seeing on tv.
i spent a great number of years living in northern ireland at the height of the troubles, ive seen the police fire live rounds of amunination.rubber bullets, use water cannons .ive even seen the police throwing back petrol bombs at people.
what the hell are the british police and army doing ? why dont they introduce interment (lock people up without a court date or bail)
the whole world is watching,

Teresa May has said that:

“The way we police in Britain is not through use of water cannon. The way we police in Britain is through consent of communities.”

I don't know about you, but I find the phrase 'consent of communities' a tad irritating! Does she really think that Britain's communities consent to have a police force who stand by whilst rioting is taking place?!?

And I think that what no-one in government or the police will admit is that the police are worried that going in hard will leave them open to accusations of institutional racism!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Hilarious this now has its own Facebook page with 35,000 Fans already:

Ladbrokes don't f**k about when it comes to TV brackets:

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ladbrokes ... 2924263785

Some funny comments on the page, such as:

Should have robbed screwfix first and got a screw driver!

ha wat was the odds on that....

ladbrokes taught currys how to hang a tv.....

After this last few days, the next series of CopsWith Cameras is gonna be amazing!

This moment would be a great selling point for the company that made those brackets!

Wonder when Gazza will turn up to fix everything with his fishing rod and bucket of chicken...

Theres no chance that brackets from Argos

All this rioting is a result of people getting wind of Ladbrokes new Goal Rush coupon! 2 matches 11/10, 3 matches 12/5, 4 matches 4/1 .... THEY'RE THE REAL F**KIN CRIMNIALS !!!

wonder if they used NO MORE NAILS

Is anyone going to stand up and claim their prize for being the technician that put that thing up?

I could go on but you get the idea lol.
