The violence has spread to Wales too - Blaenau Ffestiniog has seen a gang of local youths overturn a sheep and set fire to it. Fortunately the constant drizzle put out the blaze before widespread damage occurred. Attempts to torch the town's slate shop were unsuccessful...

Prestonians are too bloody apathetic to get riled up and set light to anything. We cant even beat the donkey lashers in a kickabout.

:lol: :lol: 2 idiots, 1 in Warrington and 1 in Wigan, sent out messages to try to organise riots for tonight on Face bollux or twatter or some such.
They were both arrested this afternoon 8)

This must be the only country in the world where looters are not just shot out of hand.
They can talk round it all they like but it is the only thing that will work instantly

Unlike the looters. :evil:

OK, I was well involved in the early 80's but we were fighting the twats with a cause and stole nothing. They knocked 7 bells out of us to win. Why the kid gloves with this scum. :x

Very very true.

Meant to be going paint balling this weekend, might just shoot some scallies instead. I know where there is plenty of ammo, i'm just short of a shotgun to put them in, for now!

Fancy a go with your Katanas Mickey. Never did much sword work really, you can only do weapons once you achieve black belt in Go ju ryu, which is my discipline.
I chose scythes which are like big knife sized tridents...an awesome tool.

it seems in Brum they use cars..
Interesting times here. After a night of rioting there was a large police presence, and the last couple of nights twn has been quite eerie and very quiet, bar the odd group of yoofs loitering in fairly small numbers, clearly looking for grief, but the plod have been all over them.. Still cars being torched in random places though..

Cars get randomly torched up here, any night of the week Doc. :(

The idiot I spoke of earlier, who tried to invite a riot on Twatter, turned out to be 14.
He is still in custody :D

Nothing happened In or around Portsmouth, but then the riots were much more than 10 miles away and even Southampton has the status of a foreign country to some here. I once went out for a drink locally with some people I worked with and an objectionable little oik rounded on a bloke with Blackburn burr to his accent, claiming this proved he must be from Southampton....
