    But yeah, reports of bother in Liverpool are supposed to be true.

    Who here thinks this is more smoke and mirrors from the Government to divert attention away from the imploding International economy? Today was like the 1929 wallstreet crash yet here we are all uppittty about a few chavs nicking iPhones from Carphone Warehouse.

    The Met is not the world's finest police force, is it?

    Hey Met! Rather than picking people for management positions because they are in cohoots with NI, why not hire for competence, and train a proper riot squad. With batons, tear gas, water cannon, and rubber bullets for final emergencies.

    In the meantime, tonight, while it harms very few workers, turn the mobile signals across london off.

    Why would it?

    Why is it spreading to other places in England? There doesn't have to be a reason.

    Different country? I don't expect it people to start rioting out on my street in brussels, so why the hell would it happen in Dublin?

    Because perhaps they think it's a good idea. I don't know. I genuinely hope it doesn't, but the coming days will see.
