London Riot - England vs Holland call off

[singveld]

As some people were forced, like this woman, to take desperate action in the wake of violence, Home Secretary Theresa May said: "Such disregard for public safety and property will not be tolerated."

Roads in many localities were cordoned off and residents have fled their homes. Local people say they have been terrified by the violence that has broken out on their doorsteps.

Monday's first outbreak of violence happened at 16:20 BST in Hackney. The area's MP, Diane Abbott, said the riots were "terrifying" for the community. "It's appalling. These people are trashing their own community. I'm calling on parents and families to urge these people to come home. The looting has to stop."

Crime it is and should be dealt with under law it must be. But I think that the British government and opposition should also, more importantly, look into what sparkled it. It's their cumulative doing over the decades. In any commoners' community established over centuries, nobody would want disruption of fast and heavy immigration of foreigners who don't share common creeds. The politicians are British themselves too, you may ask why do they do that to their own country and couuntrymen? It's a mixture of past baggages that they couldn't shed, present and future profit motives that they couldn't resist. The British government had started their propoganda that local British should get along with Inds and Paks, Hinds and Mus long before Singapore started our own for PRCs and Inds. Carried on further and further, the politicians got richer and richer while the commoners got more and more disgruntled. There'd come a time when the bow breaks. In London, it was last Sunday. In Singapore, I hope that the government learn from the lesson. This is my National Day message to the government.

He put his loot and his face on the internet, i think he will get some visit soon. what a wanker.

Twit and Twitter: 'Looter' posts photo of himself and his booty online as police say tweets were used to co-ordinate riots


Rule number one about pulling off a successful heist is that you don't tell anyone - and you definitely don't post a picture of yourself online with all the stolen goods.

Unfortunately, this rule was lost on one hapless opportunist, who posted a picture of himself on Facebook with various items - suggesting that he stole them from vandalised stores during the week's rioting.

It was one of the more astounding posts that police claim encouraged violence and theft across the capital over the weekend and early this morning.

Police also say sites such as Twitter - as well as BlackBerry handsets - were used to co-ordinate attacks on police and tell potential rioters where to find violence hotspots.

Lives ruined: Reeves owner Maurice Reeves, left, is devastated as he returns to his shop this morning to see the damage inflicted by the rioters, and right, the sign on the road which has been named after the iconic store
The owners of a 140-year-old family furniture store were devastated today after seeing the charmed remains of the building that fell victim to the riots last night.

House of Reeves has stood on the same corner in Croydon, south London, for more than a century but was targeted by rioters as violence spread across the capital.

Flames ripped through the historic building and spread to neighbouring businesses as firemen battled desperately to quell the inferno.

But today it was looked likely that the damage which was 'worse than the blitz' would force the ravaged building to be demolished and rebuilt.

Owner Trevor Reeves said: 'It has just provided (for) my family and the 15 or 20 staff and families that were supported, it's just completely destroyed.

'Words fail me. It's just gone, it's five generations. My father is distraught at the moment. It's just mindless thuggery.'

His brother Graham told Sky News: 'Our lives are destroyed, it will probably be someone else next week. It's horrendous, 35 years I have been down here.'

He said the business was established in 1867, but he now had 'nothing', adding: 'Everything is just gone, we have just got nothing left.

'I was in the Brixton riots but this is worse. My life is destroyed.'

One eye witness said: 'The building has survived the test of time. The damage last night was worse than the blitz.
'The area was known for the Reeves furniture store, and that part of the street had been named Reeves Corner.'

The escalating disorder in London began in Tottenham on Saturday evening. The iconic Carpetright building which had also survived the ravages of war and time was destroyed.

Last night saw violence flare across the capital with Croyden being one of the worst towns to be hit.

A man was rushed to hospital with life-threatening injuries after being shot during the chaos.

Tensions are running high after police shot and killed a man accused of being a gangster in the London borough of Tottenham on Thursday.

At first there was a small and reportedly calm protest by members of the man's family; but within hours the protest had escalated into arson, violence and mass looting. Parts of the borough in north London were left in ruins after crowds set fire to cars and buildings.

And there were more disturbances on Sunday night - eight kilometres away in Enfield, with shop windows smashed.

Later the British police condemned a wave of "copycat criminal activity" across the capital.

So after a weekend of destruction, looting and arson across London, we ask: What are the root causes of the violence, why did the riots break out so suddenly and why has it become such a vicious and destructive affair?

Inside Story presenter Stephen Cole discusses with guests: John Pitts, the director of the Vauxhall Centre for the Study of Crime at the University of Bedfordshire; Mehdi Hasan, a senior political editor at The New Statesman; and Martin Bentham, the home affairs editor at The Evening Standard.
