  1. So your saying he should have hidden his racism behind something else?

     

    How very EDL.

    To be fair to Big Mickey I really got the impression from Starkey that he's saying black when he means rap. He's trying to point out that a lot of rap culture goes over the top with materialism. (which I'm sure the hip hop heads on this forum will correct me and tell me that's a massive generalisation, which is probably true.)

     

    He just said it in way that could be considered,by some, manner of speaking, as coming off a bit, well, you know, kind of....racistedly.

     

     

    Don't get me wrong, he probably is a big racist, but the core of his point wasn't horrendous, his racism shone over it.

  2. Stephen Fry made a fair point on his twitter (forgive me if it's been posted, I ain't seen it) when it all kicked off saying that he was on the other side of the world and was just as far away from the rioters as he is when he's in London.

  3. That's not my intention. I think people have let their anger get the better of them.
    I'd agree with that. I just think we're talking about different people.
  4. Notts police report canning circus police station ha ms been firebombed by a group of 30-40 males. Just up the road from me, but more importantly, between me and my mates

  5. And see, the thing is, not many people have denied that there are contributing factors. Everybody readily accepts their existence. And apparently, the people who keep stressing the contributing factors don't think they excuse the behaviour. So aren't we all on the same page there?
    I think we are. Were just different in our area of priority.
  6. "Purple is made entirely of red."

     

    "No, purple is made up of a combination of red and blue, though the proportions vary depending on the shade."

     

    "Why are you saying purple is made entirely of blue?"

    Who cares what makes purple, I just don't want Ribena all over my carpet

  7. Apparently there's one water cannon in Northern Ireland and that's it. I don't see why they haven't had it brought over here to use as an precaution, as they didn't seem to be ruling it out.

    Fuck that. The last thing this summer needs is a hosepipe ban :angry:

  8. Sky News running with the picture from last night, of the woman jumping out of a building that's on fire. Wasn't that already discredited...?

    It was recredited

  9. Or the violence will escalate to the point where the already outnumbered police are unable to even contain the sitatuation? Wanna roll the dice & find out?

    It's a fair point. I'm pretty sure that's what happened in Russia in 1917.

  10. It's a hypothetical scenario anyway. I've already suggested a lot larger police numbers.

    It's not a hypothetical situation though is it. It's exactly what happened last night!

     

     

    And oh, ok, well put more police on the street. If you bring the uniforms I'll build them, yeah?

  11. 1232: In Clapham, youths are reported to have raided a Debenhams store and a number of shops in Lavender Hill, while some broke into a fancy dress store near Clapham Junction, stealing masks to conceal their identities.
