I'm going to be pedantic and point out that it's actually only England that is suffering from riots. The Welsh and Scottish seem to be much better at not destroying their own livelihoods than us. :P

London is supposedly quite tonight what with the 16K of riot police they put on the streets but both the midlands and north west of England are still in trouble.

Linky to a topic on the riots over on TV trope.

Another link to the BBC live feed.

These groups are organised and have even sent out group to other counties (such as the one I live in) to cause trouble.

Totally not a magpie

In my opinion the rioters are stupid and merely copying the rioting of previous generations. Personally though I would give it a couple of weeks and we will all but have forgotten about it. I wonder how the war in Libya has gone or when Swine Flu will return...

Not really. The police have been drawn from extra Met staff (all leave has been candled) Wales (the Welsh are too smart to do anything this crazy) and the home counties (Surry and such) while the areas with stuff kicking off are the Midlands and North West England.

Down in Kent.

Last night about 15 people got off a train in Medway (a part of Kent) from London and started several fires and I know there where at least two spots off damage. (One of my friends is a local councillor and was at them during the day.)

I'm hoping that it will all be put back together by the weekend. The police crackdown seems to have stopped things in London so if they can get a crackdown in place in the other cities and hold it for a few days things should end.

That will be when they begin to round up all the people they have pic of shooting thanks to CCTV.

Currently "685 arrests have been made in connection disorder across London in recent days. Of those, 111 people have been charged. " so if they keep going at that rate half the rioters will be in cells by the weekend.

Where in the north are you?

Manchester, Berm, leeds all had copy cat riots I am told.

I sore some CCTV of the events I live in the North of England (Not scotland)

I don't think they added the dogs to the 16k. There were awesome on camera.

Back away sir (moron doesn't move)
Van opens doors police step out each with dog BACK AWAY NOW
Morons run lol what happens if you run from a dog? I bet they loved it.

I doubt it of the 600 that are imprisoned now. 100 have already been charged with rioting and looting. If they get done for it twice they will go to big boy prison and I don't they are that brave.
