Jas Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 It's superb. He was pulling up right next to rioters as they were being arrested. Yeah it was incredible viewing, pretty much shamed Sky News & BBC coverage in Birmingham. Although I'm gutted I missed the footage when they gave a copper a lift to an area who proceeded to nick 4 scumbags
big mickey Posted August 10, 2011 Author Posted August 10, 2011 Sangat TV, its a Sikh TV channel based on Soho Road in Birmingham, they have been going out and filming the rioting live, the channel's presenter has been on a one man mission to get people to protect Birmingham This sounds mint!
deathrey Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 This sounds mint! To quote the presenter 'this is the UNITED Kingdom, we need to unite together and stop this'
Ross Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 Keith Lemon was caught on CCTV during the riots smashing back doors in. Badoom-Tish! There's a schism forming between BJ and Super Dave. Boris wants some more cops, while the official line seems to be we never let the Police have sleep or holidays. Cameron's just skirting round the police issue, talking of 'visible police presence' which I guess could include CSO's, Specials etc - i.e. those with less training and//or experience. In fact, at least this was the case a few years ago, CSO's were trained specifically NOT to intervene in violent situations.
big mickey Posted August 10, 2011 Author Posted August 10, 2011 To quote the presenter 'this is the UNITED Kingdom, we need to unite together and stop this' Bang on, it doesn't matter about the coulour, race or religion these rioters are, it needs stopping.
stewdogg Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 According to the BBC website, one of the people charged with looting was a teacher! A FUCKING TEACHER!! No wonder the kids don't know right from wrong if the teachers don't. Un-fucking-believable!

No wonder the kids don't know right from wrong if the teachers don't. Un-fucking-believable! Which, to an extent at least, blows the whole 'unemployed, benefit scrounging' line out of the water.
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted August 10, 2011 Paid Members Posted August 10, 2011 According to the BBC website, one of the people charged with looting was a teacher! A FUCKING TEACHER!! They gave a list yesterday of some of the people who were remanded in custody. Among them was the teacher, a graphic designer and a university graduate.
big mickey Posted August 10, 2011 Author Posted August 10, 2011 Which, to an extent at least, blows the whole 'unemployed, benefit scrounging' line out of the water. Exactly, so calling them scum is fair now enough isn't it?

Jas Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 (edited) BBC reporter at Highbury Magistrates Court tells BBC 5 live the first person who appeared in the dock this morning was a 31-year-old teacher called Alexis Bailey. She pleaded guilty to being part of the looting of the Richer Sounds store in Croydon. Edited August 10, 2011 by Jas
Ross Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 Not really. Obviously there's people of different backgrounds involved. I just don't like to see the unemployed/people on benefits to be vilified as they usually are in certain circles.
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted August 10, 2011 Paid Members Posted August 10, 2011 The looting has never been about anything but greed. If it was about poverty, they'd be looting Asda and Tesco, not Currys and Jessops.
buba3d Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 Ironically, in exactly a year's time in London there will be hundreds of blacks running about trying to take either gold, silver or bronze and it will all be started with the single shot of a pistol. i'll get my coat
Ross Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 The looting has never been about anything but greed. If it was about poverty, they'd be looting Asda and Tesco, not Currys and Jessops. I'd agree that there's definitely greed involved, but that runs across all society. I could argue that our Prime Minister is a greedy millionaire. it's also about the marketing machine that creates a want for expensive goods such as sportswear that they can't afford, so steal instead.
