Re: Thatchers eighties are back - London Riots
 

I remember not that long ago when the police DID take action against rioters and were hung drawn and quartered for it, funny old world ain't it

Re: Thatchers eighties are back - London Riots
 

So the police are 'working to rule' - understandable when they are facing a pay freeze and redundancies.

Any government that loses the cooperation of its police is taking serious risks.

Funnily enough, one of the pubs I drink in is called the 'Hung, Drawn & Quartered'. It's by Tower Hill, more or less opposite a Wetherspoons establishment (The Liberty Bound); naturally, I do not set foot in this latter place - it's full of tourists and the sort of riff-raff who no doubt are now busily preparing for this evening's escapades.

Seem to remember the last time there were riots in Manchester, something to do with a football match if I remember;)

Don't just report what we can all read for ourselves, strip off to your Tshirt and trunks and fly over there and save someone.

Surely that is the least a good socialist would do?

I think the police knew that something would be going on in Salford tonight. The blood transfusion service have been doing collections where my daughter works....the staff were very keen to get back to their base in Manchester and mentioned that some of Salford was being closed off from 4.30 ish.

Can't think why, but I keep getting a disturbing mental picture.

Someone watching Sky News, with a box of tissues by the bed.

Working himself up to a right frenzy, under his tartan duvet.

With you there Marg, my sister works at the coop pyramid in Stockport, they were shutting all branches in Manchester early and boarded them up.
On a side note, sky news are reporting that Mark Duggan, did not shoot at the Police, his family are calling for someone to be accountable for this.
Sounds like a result to me, if you are carrying a weapon and are surrounded by armed police, or armed b@@@ards for Neil and other Gene Hunt fans, you drop the gun, if you don't, well the police will disarm you, lethally if needed.
Live by the sword, die by the sword.

Funny there is no riots in Scotland, is there anything worth stealing up there?
