I've just heard 25 police officers have been hospitalized, I think it's time they get the real guns in, call in the military or something

The neighbourhood watch/the community can also tackle the yobs who are rioting. but its not so good as that automatically gives them the right to prosecute us if we kick a petrol bomb that they were going to throw out of their hand and accidently breaks their hand in the process.

People should be given the right to defend their home town without fear of prosecution so long as they dont take excessive/lethal force to deal with them. I would have helped the police tackle the yobs who were throwing bricks at police, I know more then a handful of residents here would have done this without even thinking. because this is OUR home, OUR town & its where WE live.

But of course....health and safety laws/policies applies and if we took action on our own accord. we would be seen as vigilanties and arrested

which is funny because we are trying to prevent further damage being done to peoples properties and business. which can be said is a lot more then what the police are doing to stop whats going on.

Yeah you Glaswegian have no idea how many people there are in London. On a good traffic light day you still need about 3 hours to drive across (or around, if you are going by the ring roads).

Apparently many thugs and such taking advantage of the situation. Plenty of posts on Reddit from truly frightened Londoners esp as night approaches.
 
Glasgow itself only has a population of just over 500,000. Greater Glasgow has a population of over 1million, there is only 5million people in Scotland!

I've been to London a few times but only Central London.

when does your uni course start again?


edit: how do you add a line/cross out words?
 
I swear if this looting/riot continues and it happens in my town i would immediately nag my parents to book a flight to Canada and stay with my uncle from my mum side.
Retarded a bad situation turn into a looting and rioting.

He ate ice cream and built Gundams while riot was happening. You should consider doing the same.

Shit got serious 2 days ago, and only now did they act. Slow police is slow.
 
I still think the police should consider taking a slightly more aggressive aproach

actually they did.

theres a rumor going around that the reason why the riots started in the first place at tottenham was because a cop took a baton to the face of a 17y.o girl

Thats a regular occurrence in Glasgow City Centre on a Saturday night!
 
im surprised ts going off over west,because most of the businesses are family run,and the community over southall specially is quite a close knit one.
 
If the girl did get hit in face by police thats still not a reason to go burning people homes,stores and robbing too and causing havoc.
 
i remember talking to my mate about the stop n search laws etc,UK life in the 70s/80s
he said he didnt really want to be in UK,but repatriation with any reperations wasnt going to be forthcoming from the government,and he didnt have the moneys himself to go back home.

he made me laugh by saying the NF keep telling him to go home,and he keeps telling them he wants to go!

the blackstarliner was his only option,so he took it.fair play to him for actually doing something about his situation.
