[QUOTE=Zethiwag;31636390]I swear, I've seen every single joke in this thread on Facebook before I saw it here.[/QUOTE] and 80% of those come from twitter, where 20% of those are from minor celebrities, 10% real comedians and 70% sickipedia.

hope fully nobody posted this already~ [img]http://www.prosebeforehos.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/uk-riots-smashed-barbershop-photograph.jpg[/img] [quote]Aaron Biber, 89, who has run a barber shop close to Tottenham High Road for 41 years, told how the looters had stolen a number of small items, including his kettle and cotton wool, after breaking into his premises. “Everyone knows me around here — I have been here since the 1970s — but now I will probably have to close because I haven’t got insurance and I can’t afford the repairs,” he said.[/quote]
[QUOTE=WilloTheWisp;31636442]Any idea what the road is or can you link me sorry?[/QUOTE] Smithtown Road I think it was.
Apparently, EDL just came out and said "We're going to stop the riots - police obviously can't handle it"
[QUOTE=Deiru;31636498]Apparently, EDL just came out and said "We're going to stop the riots - police obviously can't handle it"[/QUOTE] EDL stopping a riot? :whatthechrist:
[QUOTE=Deiru;31636498]Apparently, EDL just came out and said "We're going to stop the riots - police obviously can't handle it"[/QUOTE] Nob heads vs nob heads, this should be fun.
[QUOTE=carcarcargo;31636558]Nob heads vs nob heads, this should be fun.[/QUOTE] It's just going to be one massive chavsplosion.
It annoys me that so little people are being charged
[QUOTE=Elfy;31636555]EDL stopping a riot? :whatthechrist:[/QUOTE] I suppose they are still fighting fire with fire, typical EDL.
[QUOTE=Deiru;31636498]Apparently, EDL just came out and said "We're going to stop the riots - police obviously can't handle it"[/QUOTE] They'll stop being riots. They'll start being massacres.
[QUOTE=peaceful guy;31636598]It annoys me that so little people are being charged[/QUOTE] To be honest I would rather the police were out on the streets rather than trying to find evidence and fill out paperwork to charge people. That can wait.
[QUOTE=Drakehawke;31636495]Smithtown Road I think it was.[/QUOTE] Wow, I shouldn't be surprised but so many students live there, including one of my best friends :\
[QUOTE=carcarcargo;31636558]Nob heads vs nob heads, this should be fun.[/QUOTE] Perhaps the police will just walk off and let them make each other tired.
man, they're like zombies, except they're after shoes instead of brains [editline]10th August 2011[/editline] they really should consider brains, as they seem to be lacking them
I'm just plain sad really... I'd been looking forward to coming home for a week :( now I am afraid to go the towns nearby. Wimbledon is closed, Sutton has had minor attacks, Colliers Wood has had attacks, Clapham has has attacks, I doubt anything will happen in my actual town as nothing is here but it's too close for comfort. As for Croydon...well I hope I can get my train there on thursday so I can get to Gatwick! I heard the trams were not running today or at least not running fully. I only get to visit my family every few months now as I live abroad and I am not happy that this has been a shadow over my trip now :( and I am genuinely sad. I am ashamed that there are so many horrible people in my country who rob innocent people and destroy their businesses for nothing other than greed. I can't even sympathise with the cause because there isn't one really. I'm not happy with the government but these looters are doing it for the fun and the free stuff simply because they can.

[QUOTE=Richy19;31636875]Wow, some people, just wow.[/QUOTE] I know, they don't even use £ in Africa.
[QUOTE=jaykray;31636908]I know, they don't even use £ in Africa.[/QUOTE] If you want to get really technical, Egypt uses pounds as currency, just not the same pounds.

Oh dear - my friend just got chased down the road by about 5-6 people on the Woodchurch.
