On the BBC news I saw pictures of the people in Tottenham looting. Sadly they were of a particular group of people, therefore I cannot continue to comment without looking racist. Bloody stereotypical looters though!

Cheers mate. I'm actually out of London atm, thank God, but one major riot is less than a mile from my house, and moving towards it. Very worrying...

All over london shops have been looted then burned, and apparently the violence is spreading to cities further north. Bonkers...

According to the newspaper i read this morning, it started out as a peaceful protest against the slaying of a young man by london police. I don't know the full story of incident, but apparently it has spiraled into full blown looting, vandalising and rioting. How they think they're honoring the memory of the dead man by causing destruction and mayhem for so many other innocent people is beyond me.

Well it all kicked off a few days ago after a protest went sour over the police shooting of some guy. Dunno why there was a protest because the guy shot a policeman before he was killed. Since then it's rapidly escalated and there is violence and looting all over London. It is now NOTHING to do with that original protest, it's just kids off the council estates out to destroy things and loot, purely criminal behaviour. The police just can't cope with the sheer number...

Left wing BS. The police went out to arrest this guy with a warrant, found him in a taxi, the guy shot at the police officer (not fatally), so the police returned fire and killed him. That somehow has spaked all of this, but to be honest, it's rubbish. These kids all just saw violence getting out of control on TV with police unable to stop it, and so decided it was safe to go out and loot. Entire streets are burning as we speak...
