    Maybe the city boys are realising that law and order is merely a phrase and it requires respect and co-operation from the people to uphold it.

    They can't rely on the police to protect them or their assets.

    Maybe we'll see them out in their belt and braces later whacking scum over the head with their bottles of champers.

      Someone's set fire to my share portfolio.
      give another 2 minutes and your buying opportunity of 4800 will appear.

      I was thinking of buying at 4500 but as that looks like lunchtime I'm going to give it a miss.

        I was working on a trading floor during the G8 riots in London. The stock market boys where photocopying £50 notes and chucking them out the window and giving them the

        A group burst past security and started chanting at the bottom of reception. A dozen or so of the city boys jumped in the lifts, came down and then laid into the protestors giving them a good kicking before they turned tails and legged it. Never underestimate them barrow boys.

          Time they did the same tonight if it kicks off again. See the turk and bangladeshi response last night for inspiration.

          It's the price you pay for living in a massive tuliphole alongside the scum-class. You have to be prepared to defend your family, homes, and businesses while the rozzers scratch their heads awaiting orders from above.

          I bet baseball bat sales in the capital are soaring as we type. If they haven't all been looted by 'the enemy'.

            I got in yesterday & Friday(bit early now obvious). £56k invested, worth £49500 at this exact moment. Looks like that'll slide down as well.

            Just put a transfer in from another interest account for additional funds but not sure if I'll use it. Think I'll give 4800 a miss and wait for 4500 and below. I'm not overly concerned as the money is purely for playing on the stock market.

            (Got one share which has is a small oil company which is expected to go to 36p. It's stayed at 12p since last week even though they've struck oil. The down market too strong for it)

                    You can't win at the moment. I read in a couple of places yesterday that (if and it could be a big if) Elliot waves are correct and they are reading the charts correctly this correction could be very deep and very rapid. As such I'm uncertain enough to be happy to sit on my cash and wait a while.

                    I guess we'll have to wait until 2:30 to see how what the US really think.
