I'm surprised that no one is talking about this.. in the US it's top news. Why?

Ok so there are no London riots? Why does our Local news keep cackling on about it?

As already pointed out, see Debates forum. Look for "The Tottenham Riots ". It's right there near the top of the threads list.

Is that what you're looking for?

This is the general forum where people with one or two braincells meet to talk about facile things.

Its been quite insane over here. My cousin had a riot outside his front door! It has been a long time coming, anti-social behaviour is the norm over here these days, the sorts of things you see on your TV happen routinely every weekend, only difference is that this time it's massive groups of people when normally it's small local louts. Very unsettling indeed, i wonder if England will ever get over this tbh, once you have large groups of anarchists realizing they have immense power, how do you get them to lay it aside and not use it?

If the riots continue the government will just up the ante. They were just caught unawares. If they were to have enough men on standby to cope with this sort of thing all the time, then it would cost the taxpayer a fortune so I think it is a case of striking the right balance. There aren't enough idiots to sustain this as they are in the minority. The majority of the masses are happy with their jobs, cars, houses and 2.4 kids. It could only turn to complete anarchy if there was complete social unrest.

There has always been a section of youth who have no prospects and go off the rails, only problem is now pretty much all of them have no prospects! People are shocked by all this but i guarantee those kids will have no shortage of people lining up to buy what they stole on the cheap...
