Riot map

[PAH]

Yeah, maybe they've had enough of Jeremy Kyle and crap daytime TV so have been out getting alternative entertainment.

Revolting against revolting TV. Can almost sympathise with them. Hard choice, watch that crap, or get a boring job.

[alreadypacked]

Maybe this is a revolt, like they had in the middle east.

Next they will be camped out in Trafalgar Square

[PAH]

I get the feeling it will be a quiet night. The scum have loads of new kit to play with and sell on the black market.

All those coppers will be stood around with nothing to do so will end up targeting innocent by-passers out of frustration at being too late to the party.

Riot watch so far today:

Of course now that they are sending a load of coppers to work in London tonight, it'll kick off in the other cities and towns... where there aren't enough left to clear it quickly....

Yep, Manchester is bound to be the next city on the news - 1000 sent from here. Absolutely ridiculous.

I meant the TV coverage, which is a tad easier to monitor than the whole internet based media!

If it's true that "the media are only reporting a fraction of what's going on" then how come I first saw that map last night when it was linked to by the Grauniad amongst other media organisations (IIRC the Telegraph also linked to it)?

BTW, the map itself was created by the MD of MediaUK.com. Wonder what field he works in?

I'll start getting smug when riots break out in Wandsworth.

FTFY

I'll start getting worried when riots break out in Wandsworth.

I want to see bloodied youths being dragged by the hair across the streets of London by riot police. They should then have those pictures of their battered bodies loaded on to their Facebook pages next to the pictures of them smiling with their loot and gang signs so show thats what happens when you act like animals.

A conservative MP cretin just been on the BBC saying the army isn't the answer. He was in London last night and didn't see any sign of trouble, only a few areas were affected.

These f*****g MPs have their heads up their arse. Look at the f*****g map you morons!

If Cameron comes out with a similar softly softly let the police do their job approach London will be trashed tonight.

If only the scum targetted these plebs in their posh homes, maybe then they'd understand the problem. Though I bet their areas have a bit more active police presence than the scummy areas.
