Once Sharpton sniffs this one out the ££ signs will entice him across the pond.

No.

Race relations aren't the same in Britain as they are in America.

There were riots a few years ago in London over a cop shooting a minority there I believe.

But yeah race relations seem better there.

There were small riots about that but they were hijacked by a criminal element in the city. It basicaly turned into a looting free for all for anyone of non-white colour.

It was pretty frightening and weird because the rioting seem to spread like a virus. I remember just at it's peak it was reaching where I lived in London, shops in Hammersmith closed early and a few windows were being broken.

It was as if the whole of London was about to be engulfed by mindless looting, but thankfully it died out the day after dole pay day.

Now this is what you call not being able to see the forest for the trees.

That's basically what happened in Ferguson and Baltimore. It really became about looting and destruction and the reasons behind the anger were lost in a sea of criminality.

It had very little to do with the shooting and more to do with benefit loving niggers trying to get trainers.

There's a reason why Waterstone's wasn't touched.

Ah, those halcyon days of which yielded the disturbing spectacle of left-leaning TV reporters excitedly interviewing looters and asking them why they were looting..... in orgasmic expectation that they'd blame it all on the nasty Tory government!

Unfortunately, from what I saw most said looters were unaware of what Tories were and actually in power again (well, in a coalition to be specific) so didn't respond as hoped, thus prompting the disappointed yet persistent interviewers to lead their interviewees by asking them whether it was (hint) all the Tories fault!

"er yeah, init, like, if da Toriez like, init, like didn't oppress us like, we wouldn't 'ave to like, er, nick deez fags and Nike trainers.....init"

^Clearly a damning indictment of ruthless capitalism by the (not so) honest 'oppressed' immigrant underclass methinks...

They sound like the idiots who wrecked west Baltimore last year.

Can there be a more courageous, nay selfless act than liberating Nike trainers and packets of 20 Benson (cigarettes) on behalf of the people and against the unscrupulous forces of Capitalism, law and order, nasty whites, etc?

I should say not.

I thought Brit cops were supposed to be better than 'merican cops.

They deal with a lot less crime than American cops do, at least violent crime. They don't have to worry about being shot.

I thought this was going to be about Anonymous. They're apparently having a "Shut the banks" march on Monday in the City of London.

I thought Anonymous was busy fighting ISIS online?

Of course....nothing major at the time but it will happen to varying degrees given nothing ever stays the same. Only a few years ago there were austerity measures and the entirely refined British were out there burning down buildings, lighting up cars, and destroying property. Heck, even one of the Harry Potter kids was arrested. When the austerity measures hit agian...become more punitive....and demographics massively continue to shift...then yes...there will be more chaotic times for London. That being said, it will be far worse in other regions of the EU prior to that.

Huh? I thought the Harry Potter kid was arrested for dealing drugs - or at least the one I was thinking about. Was there another one?

(Edit) Ok, I see it was the same kid who later got arrested again for participating in the riots. That bit of news must have passed me by at the time.

Yeah, you are right. I edited my previous post, but then saw you had already replied.
