The police seemed as useless over there as they do here with their tactic of passive policing. A lot of the rioters forgot their masks so will be expecting a visit from plod soon. Amateurs.

The same sort of disaffected/uneducated/unemployable hoods/spides/scumbags like you see in Belfast, Dublin or anywhere. Just takes a small spark and these shits think they have a licence to wreck the communities which have supported them in spite of their own wretchedness.

Just hope it doesn't spread to the scum at home, we know how much they love to copy what they see on British TV.

Just watching that big building in Croydon completely engulfed in flames, and not a soul near it - no cops, no fire brigade. Surreal.
Can they not reach the areas due to gangs, or are they just so stretched that they have to 'pick their battles' so to speak?

Other targets have been offies and restaurants (for the mature steaks hanging out the back and some nice cheese don't you know), and of course the Sony distribution centre is now on fire (presumably ransacked first).

The peelers probably do have to be more careful here as because of the world we live in if they start getting ripped into them they will be accused in some loony quarters of racism.

Say what? Black people are genetically disposed to robbing? Outside of Tottenham, where genuine anger with the police kicked off the events of Saturday night, the looters have been a mixture of white, Asian, mixed race and so on. Look at the footage, including the youtube video above.

There were plenty of the whites in the coverage I saw last night. They are just isolated videos though, so you can't come to any conclusion based on watching a couple of minutes on the telly.

QuoteThe majority have been the blacks from videos and pictures i have seen.

The looters are from a mixture of different racial backgrounds, whoever is in the majority. For that reason it wouldn't make much sense to say much about their racial background in explaining the looting as it wouldn't help to explain why so many who come from other racial backgrounds are looting as well. What they all have in common is that they come from the poorest boroughs in London, and some of the poorest in the entire UK. Surely that has some bearing on any explanation.
Title: Re: Tottenham riots

I don't think looting has a colour does it?? The original troublespot of Tottenham, which I'd know well having spent several years living on or around the High Rd and had family there until recently, is undoubtedably a "black" ghetto and have a undercurrent between locals and the police but most of the other areas where trouble has flared would be mixed race. there has even trouble in Harrow on the Hill a leafy well to do suburb.

Rioting spread to Liverpool last night, Smithdown Road, Toxteth & City Centre areas. What is this shite about race, Liverpool is an overwhealmingly white city, ethnicitiy overwhealmingly Irish, Irish descent with some Welsh, Isle of Man and Lancs. Reports of 300 rioters. Heard reports of petrol bombs thrown at people in City Centre. Fireworks being used as weapons in Toxteth. Smithdown Road has lots of young Irish living close to it. All the late pubs and clubs in the city closed down last night. Amazing really because despite its reputation I normally would feel safer in Liverpool than Dublin any normal night of the year. Liverpool has been one of the safest places I have lived in (well normally).

I heard a journo on the wireless saying that this could turn racial but only because some races have been out guarding their communities.

For example the turkish community blocked off some streets from the rioters/looters and asian communities were doing likewise.  There are fears that if this continues a few lads might start joining the rioters just looking for confrontation with these particular groupings.

broken families, "professional" social-welfare claimants,  the gang culture and ferrel youth problem has been tolerated for too long. People have been turning a blind eye to the growing unruly nature of the younger generation. No one dares to

It's like a pimple that's been growing on your face suddenly burst. When was the last time any of us dared tell a young person other than your own family how to behave themselves?

We've let a generation grow up with no respect for authority, no place in any community. We can't turn a blind eye any more.

Well, the security forces were concerned to reclaim the streets and round up the 'young hooligans' in 1972 so there is that, but my point is more that, whatever the situation, the 'Bloody Sunday' approach (err on the side of slaughter) is not likely to be anything other than counterproductive. You were using exactly the sort of language Tories and Unionists were using in the early 70s and beyond.

How do you compare a peacefull march in Derry with what is happening in England.

Well, the security forces were concerned to reclaim the streets and round up the 'young hooligans' in 1972 so there is that, but my point is more that, whatever the situation, the 'Bloody Sunday' approach (err on the side of slaughter) is not likely to be anything other than counterproductive. You were using exactly the sort of language Tories and Unionists were using in the early 70s and beyond.

While I agree with the sentiment expressed by EC, hairierarea is correct about caution. Last night lots of people were trapped by Rioters in London and Liverpool. If the police start shooting, who is to say it is not them rather than the rioters who get shot. If you could guarantee me that the rioters would get the bullets, then I would say fire away, but its not that simple.

QuoteA 71-year-old man was pulled from his burning home after looters torched a newsagent below.

Police had to push back rioters and knocked down the pensioner's door as he pleaded for help.

Neighbour Andy Hutchins, 38, said; "He was out the window screaming for help. He came out crying his eyes out. It's dreadful. What has he done to deserve that?"

OK - I might as well join in with my own piece of kitchen sink sociology. All species from lions to monkeys have problems with young feral, unsocialised males. All species have more or less (usually less) effective means of dealing with them, from culling to isolation. The human species had a very effective culling method for millennia - the young unattached males were primarily the ones who got to fight the wars. These days, the technology of the major powers has developed to the point where they fight wars by remote control and the only people who get killed in numbers are the armies and civilians of the third world countries they attack.

Since we all hope we won't have a major war in which we in Europe are the ones to die in the hundreds of thousands, society needs to find effective ways of managing the young feral male problem.

Cuts looters off at the knees, 9 Aug 2011

This bat is perfectly weighted and will suit any UK shop-owner looking to protect their property.

Thanks to the ergonomic handle, one easy swing should be enough to shatter patellas, skulls or any other bone on your targeted looter. Personally, I would recommend also investing in some fingerless gloves for extra grip.

Stew is 100% right, if this was America this riot would have been over in about 15 minutes. A crowd of 300 rioters will quickly disperse if you drop two or three of them.  Crazy police tactics with 7 or 8 officers at some stages trying to hold back rioters from running down streets.  The rioters charge and the police retreat.  If the provo's had their heads screwed on years ago they could have dressed up as Policemen years ago, shot a few darkies in London and let them do the dirty work...;)

Stew is 100% right, if this was America this riot would have been over in about 15 minutes.
I wouldn't be so sure of that. How many nights did the Los Angeles riots last back in the 90's? New Orleans also seen its share of looting as well around the time of Hurricane Katrina.

The riot squad of the Russian police on the other hand...
I say'd we won't have long to wait to find out...coming to an American town near you!
A direct result of failed unsustainable entitlement programs...the mere mention
of removing them from the teet and this is the result.
We saw it in different countries across europe and we'll see alot more of it
...simply a matter of time!

Time will tell, I think you will be proved correct if Obama gets bucked out on his arse at the next election.

That said I am upset at the Republicians, they are as bad as the democrats, protecting the super rich from higher taxes, they already have the lowest tax rates they have ever had. One party is as bad as the other.............................almost. Obama needs to take his spending ways and feck off.

A crowd of 300 rioters will quickly disperse if you drop two or three of them.  Crazy police tactics with 7 or 8 officers at some stages trying to hold back rioters from running down streets.  The rioters charge and the police retreat.  If the provo's had their heads screwed on years ago they could have dressed up as Policemen years ago, shot a few darkies in London and let them do the dirty work...;)

They're more than 100 years old. That was the acceptable term at the time. Not really acceptable anymore though, presumably because of its Jim Crow/pre-civil rights association.

Some people like to go out of their way to be offended.  I don't use the term 'Darkie' to offend anybody from the black/coloured/whatever society (who actually decides what is a legitimate term to describe this section of the community?).  If I caused any offence to our resident crabbit hoors, I apologise. 

In similar terms, if abroad and someone referred to an Irish person as a 'Paddy' would this offend anyone?  It certainly wouldn't offend me.  Judging by some of the reaction on here it seems that there would be a few quite badly offended by this term...or maybe they just like to hear themselves complain and decided to have a moan about a similar term used to describe another group of people... ???

Murder inquiry after Birmingham pedestrians killed by driver
Three pedestrians were run over in the incident A 32-year-old man will be questioned on suspicion of murder after three men were run over and killed in Birmingham.

A vehicle has been recovered after the incident at about 01:00 BST on Dudley Road, Winson Green.

The men aged 31, 30 and 20 were taken to City Hospital where about 200 people from the Asian community gathered.

It is not yet known if the deaths were linked to overnight rioting in the West Midlands. There were 109 arrests on a second day of disorder in the region.

It is thought the men who died had just come out of a mosque and were protecting their neighbourhood at the time of the incident in Winson Green.

Members of the Asian community have described the incident as a hit-and-run and police in riot gear have been blocking the hospital's main entrance, but the crowd has been dispersing.


About 200 people from Birmingham's Asian community gathered outside City Hospital Correspondent Jeremy Cooke said local people had told the BBC that a car hit a group of young Asian men.

West Midlands Police said: "Three men have died following a road collision in the Winson Green area of Birmingham which detectives are treating as murder.

"Three men were taken to hospital where two later died from their injuries. A third man was in a critical condition but confirmed dead at around 6.30am.

"West Midlands Police have launched a murder enquiry, arrested one man in connection with the incident and recovered a vehicle nearby which will be examined by forensics experts."

Officers have appealed for witnesses or anyone with information to come forward.

There was looting in Birmingham city centre, Wolverhampton and West Bromwich on Tuesday night.

Police said there were 109 arrests on Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning up to 0210 BST.

Jeremy Cooke said it was a "relatively quiet night" across the West Midlands and "nothing like on the scale" of the night before.

Police have been investigating reports that shots had been fired in the Aston area of Birmingham.

Riot police were on the streets and surrounded The Mailbox shopping complex in the city centre.

Don't know if this has been posted but this could seriously put a big twist in it.  Race riots in the hot bed of racial intolerance that is the Midlands?   "As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding; like the Roman, I seem to see 'the River Tiber foaming with much blood.'"  Only Maddog and englishmen go out in the Brummie sun ;)

We were turfed out of our office at 4pm, city centre was chaotic, everyone was trying to get out at once and the roads were just gridlocked. Thankfully our friendly rioters were probably still sleeping off the vigorous exercise they got the night before. Word is that the cops are to get stuck in from here on. The gloves will be off.
On the the lads that got mowed down last night - this was the biggest fear that the rioting would turn into a racial issue. We dont know for sure that this is related but id strongly suspect that it is. There is a history of major tension here between the Asian and black communities for whatever reason. If thats the way it twists it could really explode. What is possibly helping at the moment is the fact that it is Ramadan so its keeping plenty off the streets. Last night in the Aston / Lozells area the local asian lads supposedly waded into the rioters and they were stuck between the locals and the cops and took a pasting ;D
If this goes on into the weekend the cops wont be able to police football matches and this shower. Nick Clegg showed up in the city centre yesterday, if anyone was going to inflame the bloody thing it was mr U turn

QuoteToday it is generally no longer regarded as a politically correct term. However, even that is debatable, due to its continued accepted usage, most notably its use in the acronym NAACP.

It's outdated and antiquated but not offensive." [2]

I personally think that people have little to worry about if they get offended by people using a word that is not intended to be derogatory or offensive.  It's all about context and relationship that exists between the persons involved.  I have asian friends who I've called all sorts of names and they have reciprocated in kind.

Does anyone else think there is more to these riots than meets the eye.

For the past number of weeks the Government and the Met Police have been under serious pressure with almost daily allegations of corruption. It looked like the lid was going to be completely lifted on who actually runs Britain.

Then all of a sudden riots and looting break out. Having read most of the papers this past few days no one really seems to be able to explain why. Some commentators have blamed the high unemployment, others the lack of opportunities for the youth. But these problems have existed in these areas for generations. Why kick off now?

One thing is for sure, there has been no mention of phone hacking or corruption this last few days. And almost the entire population, the same population that appeared to be seriously questioning the moral standing of the government, are now firmly behind the government and the Met Police to put these pesky plebs back in their place and restore law and order.

It could almost be regarded as a welcome distraction. Or maybe im just a mad conspiracy theorist.

Correct.

Heard an interview with one of the looters yesterday, very eloquent he was too.

Some people like to go out of their way to be offended.  I don't use the term 'Darkie' to offend anybody from the black/coloured/whatever society (who actually decides what is a legitimate term to describe this section of the community?).  If I caused any offence to our resident crabbit hoors, I apologise. 

In similar terms, if abroad and someone referred to an Irish person as a 'Paddy' would this offend anyone?  It certainly wouldn't offend me. Judging by some of the reaction on here it seems that there would be a few quite badly offended by this term...or maybe they just like to hear themselves complain and decided to have a moan about a similar term used to describe another group of people... ???
Quite an ironic post where the point of the thread is among other things, commenting on condemning rioters/looters for having no respect for other people.

Let's replace any references to Derry with Londonderry e.g. Londonderry city, Londonderry GAA etc. along with sprinklings of there being "no London in Tyrone", then sit back with popcorn to enjoy the inevitable...  8)

Same goes for Nordies / Free Staters / West Brits / Tyrone inbreds  :P etc.

Of course there isn't, a well heeled London guildsman would never have wanted to go anywhere near the wild savages of tyrone to make a new life.  At least we got the cultured planters, you boys got stuck way the lowland scots presbyterians who were kicked out of scotland.

darkie
a good looking, medium chocolate man; a delicious piece of dark meat
"hey check out that black guy over there...(checks out), sorry hunny that is not a black man, that is a darkie... he is one fineee piece of meat.."

Point proved.  It's hard to beat the Darkies... :-*

Why do you think I'm offended? I'm simply trying to point out the error of your assumption that "darkie" is an acceptable way to refer to black pepople. I'm not black. If I was I'd be offended if you called me a darkie. If I was near you and lost my self control, I'd punch you.

What if someone finds the term 'black' offensive?  Does that mean that your adjective is no longer an acceptable way to address Darkies?

If I was a Darkie and called myself a Darkie in much the same way that the term Nigger/Nigga/Niggaz is loosely used by Darkies to describe themselves would you still be as angry?

We use to have a black Labrador called Darkie when I was growing up.

Come out of that pub Darkie ya f**ker?

Read a story a few years back about an Black American Basketballer recruited to play basketball down in Cork. On one of his first days in Cork, while being shown around the city by some Club officials a local recognised him and declared "Welcome to Cork, boy". A very angry and large American had to be pulled away from a startled Langer. Peace returned after it was explained that being called "boy" in Cork was a term of affection not a term of racial abuse.

We had a dog called Darkie as well. He was a vicious hoor, but not being a human being, he didn't seem to be offended by the name at all. My sister had a gollywog and you used to be able to collect sticky paper gollywogs with pots of Fruitfield marmalade. As lately as the seventies, it was acceptable to refer to nig-nogs and wogs on mainstream British TV. It's not now.

OK Screen, that's enough nonsense. It's perfectly obvious to most people, including yourself I suspect, that some words have racist connotations because of the way they have been used in the past in a derogatory way. Darkie is certainly one of those words, and maybe you should consider why the image you selected to somehow prove your point decided to change their name and their logo.

In anycase , Rule 4 precludes racist posts and in my view, whether you agree or not, terms like darkie are unacceptable when describing black people and a violation of that rule, so please stop now. And do me a favour, don't try and be clever and start using some other 'innocent' word that you know has the same connotations, about any race.

FFS, you know that has been a racist term in Ireland since the Niemba Ambush in the 1960's. Unless you are discussing the Tribe or the Irish Army's deployment to the Congo, its best not to use a term term that in all other contexts in this country is racist.

If it's a word describing a person's skin colour it's an adjective. :P

Dark is an adjective when used in the sense e.g "the guy looting Debenhams had dark skin" but I don't think you'd say "He had darkie skin" or "His skin is a bit too darkie for my liking"??  Dark can also be used as a noun e.g. "I'm afraid of the dark".  But to say "I'm afraid of the darkie" conveys a quite different meaning.  In the sense in which the word was originally used it was a noun.

Fair enough, I'll make sure and recommend you to the relevant grammar authorities.

I suppose if you say it's wrong then it must be wrong.  Anything else you want to tell us or command us to do?

Cyberbully...

Else? What else did I "command" you to do?

Cyberidiot.

I told you you were wrong that the term wasn't offensive to black...

I didn't say you commanded me to do anything else.  I simply asked, as by your reckoning if you tell me something then you are right and I am wrong, was there anything else that you wanted to be right about and that I could be therefore wrong about if I disagreed?

It means, 'Is there anything else you would like to tell us or command us to do?'

As in the way that you orignally told me that you were right and I was wrong.  I was merely enquiring is there any other facts or opinions that you would like to impose upon us?  I didn't say you told us anything else other than the fact that you were right and I was wrong regarding the use of a certain noun/adjective/word.  I was just wondering would you like to expand your dictatorship further. If so, now is the time to do so.

Good man - expansion of dictatorship, phantom commands, imposition of facts. Do you ever, even accidentally, bump into reality in your headlong charges through the imaginary world you're making up as you go along?
Keep it surreal.

Most of what he said was dung but it didn't help when the newsreader referred to him as Marcus Dowe and then accused him of being a rioter!!
