The Old Tolbooth Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Jesus Christ, I've actually been so busy doing other things over the last two days that I didn't realise it was so bad, this is bloody nuts! People in Toxteth now rioting too, what chance do the police have when it's on such a large scale? The army need to be called for and serious action needs taken.

magicTs Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 A concern I have is that given how ridiculously stretched the MET appears to be there could be a different kind of threat whilst their collective eye is elsewhere. I just hope that there are not terrorist factions awaiting the opportunity to take advantage of the widespread chaos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you count Bristol that's nearly every major English city: London, Birmingham, Liverpool, Bristol and Leeds. That leaves Manchester and Newcastle.

redm Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Twitter has been absolutely unreal this evening. I never ever thought I'd find it half as amazing as I have done tonight. Aside from being a good 30 mins ahead of the mainstream media on occasion, I've seen videos & pics seconds after they've been taken. I've read minute by minute updates from people describing what it's like there on the ground. I've seen rumours start, spread and then end up confirmed, I've seen people asking for help because they think they might be stuck in the middle of the worst affected zones, I've seen pictures of people who had looted and I've seen other people reporting them to the police. I've seen celebrities appealing for calm (most recently Wayne Rooney after reports of unrest in Toxteth) and I've seen endless tales of new incidents erupting all over London and then in other cities. What an amazing thing Twitter is. Really amazing actually. I think I've overdosed on information. I feel totally floored by all of this tonight....

I have made a lot of nasty comments about Twitter in the past, but in situations like this and what is happening around the middle East it becomes an incredible resource, a truly interconnected society who is instantly on the ball of what is happening.

bertracoon Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 This is absolutely mental. I was at work about 6 o'clock cracking jokes about a couple of cars being pushed into walls and set alight and a Greggs going up in flames. Seriously not funny now, people are absolute little *******s. What's the point in setting fire to your local Ladbrokes or Greggs??

lilandy Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 This is thoroughly mental. Greed is fueling this far more than any hard feelings towards any particular group. Folk have clearly seen this on the news and thought looting was a good idea to get them some new gear they wouldn't be able to afford. This has nothing to do with protesting any more, it's being driven by materialism. In the last 6 months or so we've seen the rise of the Arab Dawn where people have been rising up and protesting in the streets for their freedom. In the UK we see the youth take to the streets to riot for Plasma tv's and playstations. A thoroughly depressing situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
