I believe all these riots and protests about whatever are only the tip of the iceberg. Most of the country is unhappy and things will only get worse.

Just caught R4 , community backlash re: 29 yo dad of four shot by police, regarding Operation Trident.

I drove through Tottemham last night after work and for a friday it was eerily quiet.

It's not about politics,just some gangster getting shot. It's an excuse for a bit if rioting,safe in the knowledge they will never be caught.

Oh the BBC News channel have FINALLY got on to it, after endless loops of the US soldier deaths and US credit rating.

Mind you, the Sky News bloke was saying the fuel tank exploded on the bus that is on fire. Yes, diesel, that notoriously explosive fuel. Not the tyres going pop at all, oh no.

It's cos 'arry's missed out on Lukaku.

Can they not taser some of them from long distance?

[Glassman]

Being about eight miles down the road from 'nam, I hope they don't torch any cars... break a few windscreens if they have to.

No. Baton rounds on the other hand are an option - but they won't be used unless it goes seriously bent.
