Why has it taken so long though Tony? The Government needs to get this under control today, another night of this is unacceptable.

True mate and how much is this going to cost us in taxes,and insurance on our next premiums

Police have to go in heavy hand tonight,these kids have no respect and are using this riot to steal and sell whatever they can get their hands on.

How long before someone who is minding their own business dies

You're right - it's us that'll pay for it while these chavvy little fucks who willnever work a day in their life will continue to pick up benefits.

Some folk are harping on about this being to do with a shooting or lack of investment in poorer areas. They should invest in a big boat and put all these chavs on it and sink it somewhere near Africa. Most of them wouldn't be missed anyway.

Also, as pointed out elsewhere - why are they struggling to deal with small mobs of 2-300 when they can police and batter anything in sight at the football? The police can do much better and they know it - either way they will get accused of brutality so they should steam in and get it dealt with and if the Government think police cuts are still the way to go then maybe the Tory Government has done as much as it can. This is the biggest test Cameron has faced - if he doesn't deal with it then his time is up.
