Day 5 and Cameron says they "may" use the water canons if it continues
Do they think if they just plop police there that their presence alone will stop this madness ?

Oh come on people. This isn't the first riot the UK has seen and it isn't likely to be the last one. Riots in Northern Ireland are practically tradition even to this day ad I'm pretty sure there are plenty of chavs taking part in this one. To listen to some, you'd think that immigrants invented social malaise.

Why would it? You just said day 5 and they "may" use water cannons, what do these kids have to be scared of?

So, basically what's happened is that England's socialists created an entire culture of dependence. After years of wild spending, the money ran out and they had to slash the freebies and actually tax the hordes of dependents. It was a bomb just waiting for a lit fuse.

Give it a few months and we'll be seeing it here too.

I'm surprised they haven't just unlocked all doors so the rioters don't get hurt by broken glass.

What happened is high youth unemployment and a strained relationship with authority in the peak of Summer leading a lot of bored kids to kill some time in the most anti-social way possible.

I sincerely doubt these guys really care at all about politics.

They don't. There haven't even been any cuts yet, just talk of future cuts? That's what I've heard.

If so, talk about irony.
Unlike you being black doesn't prevent me from being objective.

I dont blame him if he called in the Army to mow down the rioters, the Left will cry human rights violations. It really is a no won situation for him.
