Cameron's response

[PAH]

Are pictures of lines of police not engaging going to get them a lot of sympathy re police cuts?

Maybe if they weren't there in the first place, or there was one copper on his own.

The images I saw had about half a dozen coppers in a line across the street.

In one scene a cop van is approaching some looters up a side street, with two riot cops at the top where the camera man is. As soon as the looters spot the van they leg it up the street towards the two riot cops, who step back into a door way out of sight!

Their argument (rightly in that scenario) is that two of them isn't enough to deal with the rushing crowd of about 20 people, but where were the other thousands of plod!?

It's all an inside job by the fuzz to get more funding. They have plain clothes coppers doing the rioting and telling the kids who join in where to run next for the best camera shots. Timed to perfection to sideline the investigation into corrupt police and journos.

A man around 60 was arrested today. He is an ex-employee of NOTW.

A commenter on the Sky News thinks all these riots have been deliberately fomented by the government, started by agent provacateurs where necessary, so that they can have the excuse to crack down on any dissent and impose a police state. Trouble is, I think he was being serious.

He was arrested for looting.

Probably.

Rain stopped play. Looting (and maybe a spot of rioting as a diversionary tactic) will resume if the sun ever shines again this year.

Before anyone says "it's sunny where I am", it's not in north f*****g Devon, where it's supposed to be holiday home season all year round.

Nah. You want SOUTH f*****g Devon for that.




Actually, not all that great HERE at the moment either. I can barely see Thatcher Rock through the mist.
