Nottingham is about half an hour away from where I live. I wonder how long it'll take before some stupid fuck starts in my area. Fucking hell.

I have the pleasure of being in a high-class little market town. If anyone starts rioting here it'll be because Waitrose ran out of elderflower cordial.
Having said that, they don't stock canola oil, which pisses me off. Time to get my Heinekan parasol out? |

It's cooling down, the mobs are smaller this evening, I think things are cooling down.

Phew, busy busy day. I must have started six fires.

How did you start the combustion Bullet Magnet, a cunning scientific exothermic reaction? Was there caesium involved?

Moxco that video was posted earlier. I've been really worried all day, I know I shouldn't have been but it's still unnerving that it could happen anywhere. Hopefully it'll die down soon. My cousin and his boyfriend are in London and we haven't heard anything from them yet.

Ah fair enough, I prefer the good old Fe2O3 + 2Al -> 2Fe + Al2O3 equation given activation energy from C3H8 in a pressurised tank and a spark emitting device.

You've always been too flashy.

Apparently communities are pulling together to clean up the mess and oppose the rioting. I find this wonderful and inspiring.

It's been a long time coming. The people are quite simply tired of being dominated, and it's gone on for ever.
This doesn't excuse looting, but what I see is the death of this young man being the straw that broke the camels back. Let's face it, the domination has been growing worse, this seems a natural reaction to the oppression, however small the apparent "surface cause" may seem. |

Except large swathes of people in these areas aren't wealthy, they don't have access to jobs or education, they have no life prospects. Yes, what the rioters are doing is wrong and terrible, but don't let thoughts of revenge and retaliation distract from the underlying causal factor of underserviced and alienated communities.

Its slap bang in the middle of England, East Middlands. |
I've heard views that the looting is just the inevitable point society reaches when we all have nice stuff we can't afford shoved in our faces for years.

You really can't try to link this to the Jasmine Revolution, Pilot. These people aren't trying to Change The System or protesting the government's policies. They're just doing it so that people know they exist. Or possibly because they just don't have much better to do.
This editorial sums it up really well. |
This rioting is just getting out of hand!

Anyone friends with Lorne Lanning on Facebook may have already have seen this. If you haven't, watch it. Now. |
What does the girl say at the end of that video? Also, I'm not too sure what to think about that video, is certainly puts a new perspective on the mentality of 'some' of the rioters.

I hate how the interviewer doesn't let him speak.
