Tyranna Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Shameful the mindlessness which seems to be infesting so much of the London area, and shame to see that it has spread to many other cities. While I can well understand the feelings of many of the jobless young who have been deprived of jobs due to a combination of the economic crash and yes, you guessed it, the old suspect, the EU and its stranglehold on our economy, a lot of the destruction will only destroy more jobs as small businesses such as corner shops, off licences, carpet/furniture firms are bearing a lot of the brunt of the looting; a lot of peoples livliehoods will go up in smoke... So far I am most surprised that there has been apparently no move by those same small businesses to assemble some form of vigilante force to protect those self same livliehoods. Any volunteers...?...

It will be coming, people aren't going to tolerate little <REMOVED> attempting to "take control" for much longer. I can see a few baseball bats and golf clubs being swung in the days to come!

fullcrumb Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I, for one, am proud of the Sheffield youth for not kicking off last night. Just look at Birmingham, Liverpool, Bristol and Nottingham. Could easily have joined in with the chaos. Of course, tonight is another night... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, we'd soon see how 'hard' the feral thugs are when they come face to face with someone who's served in Afghanistan. They'd run a mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sedith Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 The army should be deployed, they are best and most qualified people to quell civil unrest! The government have to do something, quick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
