EDIT:

Videos showcasing unity between the police and around 600 people in Enfield cleansing the community. F**king props to all of them.

Also, a substantial number of football firms such as The Gooners, Headhunters and Yid Army have united in an effort to protect their cities.

The civilians walking alongside the police is absolutely incredible. THAT is how people should react to police!

Just saw a police officer live on BBC smacking a masked guy with his baton.

Good stuff guys, keep it up. Hopefully they can utilise the plastic bullets to drive these fuckers back even harder.

It's no longer just in London, it's now in Wales too.
Anyway I just recorded someone running out of a shop with a 40" flat screen TV along with the other people that were smashing it up. I'll post the video tomorrow!

To resist the riots in the UK people needs to be like this, especially the law enforcement and everyone around. 

Braveheart Freedom Speech

Braveheart End

Braveheart scene - Victory

They should get inspired like this and fight back.

Too bad they aren't Scottish.

Just took it as an example. It's quite inspiring

Didn't they like all die at the end? Haven't seen the film in quite some time.

111 officers have been injured, with many being hospitalized and requiring surgery to treat broken bones, concussions and eye injuries. Five service dogs have also been injured. The most injured dog suffered a head injury after recieving a brick to the head by a yob. Another one had all of its teeth broken as a result of a brick being lobbed at its face.

Feel quite physically sick. Heartless pricks.

The situation in London is being overplayed abroad and underplayed in the UK - Being in the brunt of the action in London, I can assure you all that these are nothing more than concentrated pockets of violence, stemming from 15-16 year kids who have nothing better to do. The UK Government is caught in a challenging situation whereby with the world watching, it is keen not to be accused of double standards as demonstrated in Syria and Libya. The media has a habit of overplaying things and with News International's recent torching, I'm not surprised at the height of the coverage either.

Height of the coverage? If anything, outside of the UK there is very little coverage. The U.S. media is barely even acknowledging the situation, and a few other media outlets worldwide are just repeating old information. If anything there isn't enough clear information on what's going on. I'd say BBC at this point is the only media outlet that has tried to cover things live as they develop without adding any personal opinions on the situation. Not trying to argue with you man, I'm just upset how many media outlets have nearly completely ignored these incidents.

U.S.A Maybe.

Australia are all over it, it has made front pages in multiple papers.
Malta is.
Germany is.
France.
Italy.
Spain

The list goes on...

The Guardian is a good site to follow it on also.

I don't like Sky News.. But some of their coverage has been good.

If it are a few pockets of violence, why they need 16.000 policemen to stop them ?
I see coverage mostly from BBC, and what I see is that if there is an "incident" police form a line at 100m distance and wait for the guys to get bored of their actions.....

We are even considering Imposing Martial Law.

Which has NEVER happened here before.
