Britain burns - Chavs ruin civilization

[Richard Hakluyt]

Ken Livingstone reckons it's due to the cuts :

Fucking yoofs, torched a Currys five minutes walk from my flat after they got bored of burning down local businesses in Brixton.

Amusing to see people already waving this away as the product of The Cuts, inner-city deprivation, etc etc, as if poor people just can't help themselves from rioting and looting.

Hey Brits, do your blacks walk as slow in stores as ours, yet still drive like maniacs?

[Palisadoes]

These problems aren't the result of planned cuts, but a problem with police and community relations which is long-standing in Tottenham (and probably most of north London). This just required a trigger, and it got one. The opportunist rent-a-mob quickly resurfaced too.

That's a lovely hummingbird avatar, Pal.
Did you know when they migrate in North America to Central America, they don't follow the land but fly directly across the Gulf of Mexico?  Amazing natural engineering.

I was just watching footage of the Tottenham rioting, then realized it was just the trailer for Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

No I wasn't aware of that. It's quite amazing given their short wingspan.

The rioters are NOT apes.

Yes they are.

Apparently Blackberries are now the weapon of choice for the disaffected yoof rather than being an executive wank toy, mainly because of the security of BBM. Here's a charming example from an article mooting that theory:

Yes they are.

I'd bow to Brain's knowledge on the subject, he volunteers nights and weekends at the local zoo.

I had to look up what bally is slang for. Balaclava or other face-covering scarf, apparently.

I laughed out loud last night when browsing video uploads from the front line on twitter.

First, some moron had uploaded a picture of himself proudly holding loot as if inviting the Police to identify him. But not only that; he was loading the loot into the back of a car with the licence plate clearly visible in the photo.

Second, a video clip of a crowd attacking the Footlocker - then some rood runs across the shot shouting "BRAP BRAP BRAP".

Sigh.

Is the Krispy Kreme all right and operating?
