    It was being considered using troops to "aid the civil power" as the police were becoming over stretched. To use a country's army against its own people is wrong, and I'm sure most would agree.

    Though I could imagine a Thatcher version of the SS Leibstandarte, I was under the belief that the plan of using troops during the strike was never implemented.

    The day the government uses troops in aid of civil power in England's capital city will be a very very sad day for the UK.

    No different to Libya, Syria, Egypt etc.
    Pretty different actually if you think about it...
    you are comparing ruthless murdering bullying regimes suppressing initially peaceful protest for democracy and rights with...
    ruthless murdering bullying gangsters suppressing initially peaceful law enforcement agencies doing their job of maintaining democracy and rights.

    Even a cursory glance at British history will show you how the use of the military to maintain order is the norm, not the exception in our history; and frankly, the military are arguably a bit more reliable than the police at doing it, as they understand a bit better the consequences of shooting at raving savages.

    So you're trying to tell me that the UK government is not a ruthless murdering bullying regime?

    What the hell is it doing in all these foreign countries then?

    PhotoBlog - Dozens of fires set during riots in north London

    Dozens of fires set during riots in north London


    Luke MacGregor / Reuters
    Firemen hose down buildings set alight during riots in Tottenham, north London, Aug. 7. Rioters throwing petrol bombs battled police in a economically deprived district of London overnight, setting patrol cars, buildings and a double-decker bus on fire in some of the worst disorder seen in the capital for recent years.


    NBC, msnbc.com and news services report:

    On the north side of Tottenham High Road on Saturday night, one rioter told the UK's Channel 4 News that he was "here to tell the police they can't abuse us, harass us. We won't put up with it, this is just the beginning, this is war, and this is what you get — fire."

    The BBC reported that its TV news crew and satellite truck came under attack from youths. Sky News also said it was forced to temporarily withdraw camera crews from the area as the situation became increasingly volatile early Sunday.

    A spokesman for British Prime Minister David Cameron branded the rioting as "utterly unacceptable."

    "There is no justification for the aggression the police and the public faced, or for the damage to property," the spokesman told the BBC.

    Widespread looting was also reported Sunday morning in the nearby Wood Green district of north London.

    Read more here.
    "Slavery is the daughter of darkness; an ignorant people is the blind instrument of its own destruction; ambition and intrigue take advantage of the credulity and inexperience of men who have no political, economic or civil knowledge. They mistake pure illusion for reality, license for freedom, treason for patriotism, vengeance for justice."-Simón Bolívar

    Does this add to the indigenous Europeans against the 'foreigners' as with the Norway thing? Seems to be tension growing and with the economy crap it would seem more stuff like this would be happening more often. Seems like times are tough in a lot of places these days.

    Yes, I can certainly see a right wing lunatic in England gunning down a load of young conservatives because of his outrage at a riot, which turned into opportunist looting, in a high crime area of a major capital.

    Give me strength.

    You get a few hot days together and inner city areas get tense.

    Let alone a copper killing on of their own.

    no jobs. no money. hot. = riot.

    If this is what they do in the UK when someone shoots a monkey, then they should be really going at it in Norway after the Polar bear was shot.

    You have to admit though that it's strange how black model citizens and pillars of society who have never done anything wrong or illegal keep getting mistakenly killed by Police and drug dealing gang members.

    Really weird!

    Funny you didn't mention the substantial ethnic minority in Tottenham. A Hot Spurs player once had banana skins thrown at him on the pitch together with monkey chants. It ain't a pleasant place. Having said that I'd agree that the police should have full rights to go after the thugs of any colour. Fuck em all.
    My mind is not for rent to any God or Government, There's no hope for your discontent - the changes are permanent!

    Ah bless, the whinging gits are complaining because only a Chief Inspector came to tell them the shooting was with the IPCC.

    They wanted a suiperintendent or higher.

    They don't appear to realise they are shitty little criminals and not a group with special needs (well not the ones they think they have anyway).

    Get in there and raid every flat in Broadwater Farm, you'll find guns, drugs and fuck knows what else is there.

    C**ts.

    fuck the police IMO.

    We all whinge about the BIB being bent as fuck, but a lot of the time the cops in the UK are worse. They hide behind a facade of respectability. It stinks. Coppers are power hungry little cúnts.

    Nonsense. The Gang leaders are trying to send a message saying "come down on us and we'll riot".

    The message back should be"riot and we'll nail every one of you fuckers".

    Personally, whilst I have no love for coppers either, I'd take a British cop any day over those of other countries - most certainly those of the USA. Other countries' police forces should be lining up in London to learn how to be polite and helpful - the Public's peacekeepers - which seems to be a concept completely lost on most of these places. Just some fat cnut talking loud and disrespectful to you - even when pulled over for some minor thing

    I don't care what excuses these "community leaders" were coming out with, no-one on the streets of London wants criminals carrying guns, and the sooner the government start doing something about it, the better.

    One of these chimps was banging on about him having it "in a sock" as if that matters. Well fuck you son, he had a firearm so fucking hard luck.

    On topics like this, there should be a spotlight that illumines a silhouette of gingery bollocks onto the night skies, to summon AntRobertson to clean house of some of the unsavoury elements herein.

    No hint of "gangsta" there then.



    Wonder how much the visible bling cost? And what paid for it?

    Nonsense.

    Spurs were never known as a racist club.

    Cyrille Regis of West Brom was the famous recipient of bananas at West Ham.

    No Spurs black player, and there have been many many (Tottenham was the club with the most black fans in London along with Arsenal) has ever been racially abused by his own fans.

    I hadn't thought of it like that.


    This isn't purely gang related though, surely?
