Quite often you insurance will not cover "civil unrest".

Whoever they catch, I hope they give them harsher sentences than the bleeding heart mob did in Australia.

The Police who had to put up for days with urine bombs, molotov cocktails, nails crippling their horses etc were reprimanded for a couple of baton charges and "undue force".

The English Bobby is far more tolerant than the Aussie Cop so when I see them losing it, the protesters must be a especially "annoying".

As far as the riots here in Birmingham go - it was soooo organised!

What else can be expected when the parents, the police and teachers are not allowed to reprimand the children?

Here there is a train of thourght that says children should be aloud to work out where the bounderies are for themselves! So no discipline at home, even some nurseries and schools are like this! Couple this with the fact that their parents don't give them pocket money, but buy them what ever they want, when they want it.
From my experience this leads to children who grow up to be extremely selfish, can't cope with rejection and have little or no self discipline. I wonder what their kids will be like!!

That'd be a bit risky, I'm not sure they're allowed to assist in civil unrest.

One thing I struggle to understand is how going into a shop which is selling, I dont know, shoes or something like that and taking out adidas trainers and the like is related to protesting against the unnecessary violence of the police. Protest is one thing, and is important in a democracy but looting isn't really related. I am also not the real deceased gene pitney I am afraid, I just thought it was a quite funny name to use on a genealogy website. :?

My daughter said people on face book have said Hull too. Not sure how much will be false but is terrible to be sweeping like it is...

Police from Cleveland have been sent to London, from other areas too, so what will happen to areas then short of police? The thugs will take advantage!

Shocking!

anyone arreseted and found guilty should be stripped of there entire assest eg cars, houses, any personal possesions to pay for the damage and the jail for a long term and publicly outed in there communities.
Only way these people will understand is if you show that they will not get away with it as in the passes, ie smack on the hand you been a bad lad attitude, weve got plenty of moorland lets build some big basic prison on them in the middle of nowhere with no frills make them suffer like there doing it to honest hardworking people and teach them a hard lesson.

We don't have any Pete, they are in Northern Ireland, I think Tear Gas and Battons would be more useful, make the bug---s think twice before they do it again.

Linell.


Good idea Linell needs something so they will think twice again , shame the dye is in Ireland at least then every one would be able to see who they are.

Not that they ,the rioters,can probably read and they most certainly won't be interested in Family History but heres a message anyway for them.
You wanna be big men and fight to the death ? Well get your sorry little arses on the next plane to Afghanistan and stand alongside real men , they're called soldiers and they are fighting a war unlike you bunch of pathetic wastes of space !!!!!
This is so disgusting what's happening. It's making me feel sick to the stomach.
