What utter rot. It's going to rain here by the end of the week ('rain is the world's best policeman'), the naughty kids will all go home to their mummies, and the country will resume business as usual. Indeed in most of the country it hasn't stopped being business as usual. Predictions of Armageddon were issued with similar confidence after the race riots of the 1980s, the General Strike of the 1920s, the Chartist Riots and Swing Riots of the 1830s, the Gordon Riots of the 1780s, the Peasants Revolt of the 1380s.....and guess what, we're still here.
so... you’re leaving the defense of the realm up to... precipitation?
do you have an unusually bad acid rain problem i haven’t heard of?
I pray to God you are right.
Having said that, don’t you think it’s a bit past time to lower a serious bit a hurt on those “naughty kids”?
Winniesboy: “...we’re still here.”
Not really. Britain still exists, but it’s a mere shadow of what it once was. To think you guys once ruled the civilized world. Now you’re ruled by a bunch of effete, impotent losers who would rather prostrate themselves before the mob than stand up to it.
Gee, Winniesboy, why do you have so many riots? And from your confident tone, I’m just guessing...but I bet you still have your clothes on!
Dunno. There isn’t as much of you as there was before. The sun definitely sets on the English flag these days.
Worse, your underclass has learned that they can do this sort of crap and get away with it. They will resort to it in the future.
Yeah, sure you are.
To think that your countrymen once proudly sang, "Britons never never shall be slaves."
Doesn’t sound like the London I lived in 30 years ago....particularly.
Tottenham Court and Hampstead Lane
Naughty kids??? They are murderers and thieves! If there were any sense left in England, many of them would have been shot and the rest arrested. Go home indeed! They are getting away with murder!
We've had riots in the US... the aftermath will include a loss of tourists, companies that won't settle anywhere near the riot zones, and an increase in lawlessness. If it was only the burning and mayhem of the moment... you'll see...
You’re pretty strange.
