Is it the RMT that Bob Crow is in charge of, or do the tube drivers have a seperate union to the normal trains?

Probably good for the EDL and UKIP if the BNP go under, neither group has the same stigma attached to the BNP either, although I'm sure the media will soon start the smear campaigns against them.

John Cleese has said that London is no longer an English city and that the only reason it got the Olympics is because it rejected English culture in favour of third world cultures. Thoughts? A rich old man who can say what he thinks because he hasn't got anything to lose? Or a disgusting bigot?

He's certainly right about foreign tourists coming to London and not getting what they expect.

The Notting Hill Carnival is this weekend, I could easily see more rioting starting there. I would think the police will be on red alert though, and probably greatly increased in number from previous years.

It's only a minor thing but it's not exactly hard to check. Standards have declined at PS. Too many of their writers are just going through the motions and writing the same old stories again and again.

Power Slam claim that Roddy Piper is older than Hulk Hogan in this months issue, this is incorrect.

The people that riot and loot were individuals committing individual crimes. The person that has been jailed for 4 years was trying to incite many people to commit crimes.

I don't think it's harsh at all. People have been jailed for longer for trying to incite violence. People that have come out saying that gays should be killed have been given far longer sentences than other people have for carrying out individual homophobic attacks.

edit: Inciting people to riot IS the crime. The fact that he didn't incite anyone is by the by.

Four years is insane. Some dude who was actually IN the riots stealing clothes only got a day, and these two get four years for posting something online. Screams of selective, random justice to me. I'm not saying these are nice people or even that they didn't deserve to be punished, but this is a complete miscarriage of justice.

 

 

 

Attempted murder is a crime whereby you actually hurt the person with intent to murder, but the victim survives. You need both the attempt and the action. The equivalent would be these guys outside smashing things trying to start a riot but not causing one. This is completely different - there is simply intent to riot, no evidence of actions behind the words.

I'm fairly sure that shooting someone but missing is classed as attempted murder as well. So is trying to hire hitmen to kill someone.

The fact that the guy was too inept to actually start a riot shouldn't be an issue. The actions are setting up the facebook page. It's no different to Islamic preachers trying to promote violence, or the BNP, or homophobic types trying to incite people to attack the people they hate.

Edit: Hiring hitmen to kill someone might not be classed as attempted murder but it's certainly a serious crime that will get you at least 4 years in prison.

Surely it's the intent that counts? Attempted murder is a crime, isn't it?

FSM has surpassed PowerSlam now as the UKs top wrestling mag. Brian Elliot has done a sterling job because before I always thought it was a bit of a joke.

Ed Milliband does not look like a Prime Minister.

Is there any other magazine that is so overwhelmingly negative about the subject that it covers?

Find the money. It's needed don't you think?

Maybe you should tell the government where they can find it. Maybe down the back of settee, or under the car seats.

What is the alternative to the cuts? Spending money we haven't got for another 5 years, and making the cuts then?

you mean like Hazel Blears and Gerald Kaufman?

My mistake.

I love it

Why has he only named Tory MPs who were fiddling?

I'm sure a lot of the rioters are reliant on benefits, certainly proportionately more so than the average British person.

On Sky News it's just said they have arrested someone for the big fire last night and that shop what's been there since 1866

Whoever did that should be getting a 20+ year sentence.

There is some bint on Sky news that is really doing my head in. She is saying things like the rioters have no dads and they cant read or write and shit like this all the time saying how they are ALL male etc etc she needs to have her mic taken away from the shit she is coming out with.. Boo fucking hoo. How can they not read or write and use fucking facebook and twitter you stupid bitch AHHHH!!!!!

Plenty of people use twitter and facebook but are functionally illiterate.

Are there any warships that could be used as temporary prisons? Bring one of them down the Thames.

The Met is requesting that the Specials report for duty. London is going to become a Ghost Town if we're not careful.

Time to call in Judge Dredd I think.

Who shot the guy in Croydon?

Rioting in Barnsley now apparently.
