Riots in the UK...

[linglong]

Like the public sector protests earlier in the year you mean? Not everyone on those marches was violent. Some were. Do you treat everyone the same?

Bit more on this here http://www.leftfootforward.org/2011/08/a-crowd-psychology-analysis-of-the-riots/

Spot on Bruce,theres an awful lot of emotive language being used at the moment and given most,if not all marches end peacefully ,its just that the press doesnt report them as sensationally if nothing happens in them.

I think everyone needs to take a step back and look at how things hsve been handled etc,i mean after all i saw one report that 70 youths where rioting,now i dont know about you lot but i've been to parties with more people there and most did the conga round the car park,knocked a couple of bottles over etc the usual,does that constitute a riot?.

No doubt you'll think thats a silly example i dont because it could happen,we've all seen daft things end up in court etc,we need a calm,clear head now this isnt the time to rush in and try bring about more laws to the police,they have enough as it is and i've no doubt that over the next few days/weeks people who where involved will be getting a visit and rightly so.

Lack of education is to blame for all of this. If Mark Duggan had been taught properly how to fire his loaded weapon he wouldn't have been showered with police bullets. We need to educate our youth to be better gangsters. RIP Mark Duggan, you were a bit ****.

Well, as Churchill once said, if you're not a liberal when you're young you have no heart, but if you're not conservative when you're older you have no brain.

He never did. François Guizot said it during the french revolution about being a republican when young and a royalist when old.

It's just that Churchill is the Oscar Wilde of politics, everyone attributes anything remotely catchy to him.

Yup - the police should be issued with camels - so they can camel their arses into the ground

that was my favourite moment of the egyptian riots, when the camel / horse / donkey riders charged into the crowd. sadly many of them found out why no respectable army has used donkeys as cavalry mounts and got severe hidings, but the sight of them steaming in, whipping their donkeys with all the frenzy of a dominatrix on speed, was magnificent.

The best thing about quotations from the internet, is that the origin of their source can seldom be traced or verified (Abraham Lincoln).

Might be completley off topic this but in relation to the "no opportunities" stance from these young people if anybody on this board knows someone between the ages of 16-19 and are interested in football coaching, Little League Sports an award winning coaching company are running a NVQ Level 1&2 course in football coaching at the new Gateacre school from September. They will also gain a FA Level 1 and 2 coaching badge and there is a chance of getting either an apprenticeship or going abroad to coach. Last years students are now abroad and one is coaching part time for LFC ha. For more information contact littleleaguesports@hotmail.co.uk

Yeah, but can't you just pretend Churchill said it. It will make Bruce feel better.
