      Unconfirmed reports of cars being set alight in Salford. Confirmed reports of riots in Manchester.

      Not having certain elements in the society in the first place will solve it...

      Why don't they broadcast some documentary about islamic treatment to thieves -instead of burning shops- and get rid of twitter....

      This guy was so cut up about the death of Mark Duggan that he felt compelled to smash his way into a store, loot the place and then post pictures of himself and his booty on Facebook.

      Clearly an intellectual, then. Some hand-wringing journo or other wrote yesterday about how terrible it was that large numbers of young people can look forward to nothing more than a job in a supermarket. Would you put this lad on a checkout, I wonder? Personally I think that might be aiming a little too high.

        No sleep last night due to Bristol rioters. The police helicopter was over head for most of the night... groan. Luckily I live just up the hill from the hot spots but got all the noise for free. Thumping head! :mad:

        That guy stole body butter from the Body Shop?!

        It also looks like he robbed Holland and Barrett! I see a large tub of whey protein!

        Brazen moron.

        But seriously, if you're a parent would you not have made sure your kids were at home safe last night?

          I think that the army should have been utilized from the 1st night of riots

          The police cannot/could not cope ... sad to see peoples homes/flats destroyed

          and saying that, loads of police have recently been made redundant

          and Theresa May has now asked for the public to help control the situation ... and in response, on some forums, people are talking of arming themselves and becoming vigilantes

          dumb dumb dumb .... more violence?

          Prime Minister looking tanned and refreshed just finished his statement.

          16,000 extra police to be deployed in London tonight.

          No mention of water cannon, tear gas or the army, or curfew- still going with the 'policing by consent' line.


          Verified incidents have been mapped- its London wide as you can see its way beyond 'black inner London'

            Nothing actually happened in Manc! Just rumourmongers on Twitter (Which BBC News then reported) but yep, nothing yet!

            Though, I have seen several Manchester/Salford kids talking about 'being ready' for something that is going to happen tonight..
