I don't want to say that I predicted riots this summer BUT I DID:tongue:.
Of course, this is headless, aimless, pathetic kids using Twitter, Facebook, & their Blackberrys, but still.
The police response of not cracking heads, & only protecting their own stations
UPDATE: Riot police in Ilford as town centre locked down - Crime - London 24
has been pathetic. I've been in 2 areas already tonight, & I've never seen a more gutless bunch of coppers, & more greedy looters.
Most of these little shits will be scuttling off to mommy's & their safe warm, made up bed tonight.
I wonder if Gaddaffi will recognise the rioters as the legitimate Govt of the UK soon. I'll be on the lookout for bargains off Ebay tomorrow!
There's no need to pay child benefit in London anymore - the kids can support themselves!
Here's a good video of a pissed off black woman having a go at the rioters!

As I speak, the facebook messages I got about Woolwich & Romford already seem to be kicking off too. Where are their lousy parents eh?
