    The Bullring broken into in Birmingham again. Lack of live footage on Sky is making this less interesting. Time to go back to Channel 847

    Heres hoping they stop shipping and hand over all orders during the last three days to police. Id hope they would have a bit of Civic responsibility.
    Every means that can be done to track these people down should be used.

    Someone will probably mention this before me as I can't keep up with this thread, but, who do you think is buying baseball bats?!? I can guarantee you it's not looters or rioters :rolleyes:

    At least they are showing something, pity I don't understand them..

    Don't know what Sky are up to, not showing anything except repeats of last nights action and LOTS of ads.

    Will go back to BBC now.

    18.51 The Telegraph's Nick Hoult is in Birmingham and has just seen looters attacking Harvey Nichols. Riot police are now protecting the upmarket store.

    18.54 Our correspondent Christopher Williams is in Canning Town now to investigate earlier reports of unrest. He says:
    There's a police helicopter overhead and six riot gangs arriving; young men in hoodies hanging around and debris in the streets. There's obviously a disturbance going on. We're going to take a closer look.

    Cops seem to be a bit more active this evening.

    yeah, I know, I adressed this earlier. ;)

    With 16,000 police in London, I can see trouble arising in other areas.

    West Brom always looks like a riot zone.

    Sky News have a silly amount of ads on at the moment. There wasn't this many last night when there was hot rioting action going on.

    For a while then it re runs..apparently they dont want to encourage the violence. sic..
