Who cares about the big corporations?

I do. Why should they be treated any different?

Thug on the telly just now stated, "I am getting my taxes back" by stealing from Curry's.. It beggars belief how thick people are.

Oh believe me Big corporations can be more powerfull then the goverment... Look at mr.capitalist America.

What are you on about? You don't care that Ladbrokes in clapham has been looted and destroyed? People are employed there.

I can only assume it's about jealousy of the success of these businesses and those who can be bothered to work.

Bigger picture my friend.. Bigger picture.

I have a feeling our very differing opinions mean we would not be friends.

these riots will have absolutely nothing to do with the countries economic state.

its just mindless theft. doesnt help one bit that its the school holidays.

Police Brutality

Everyone calm down on the economy side... The loss in damage is merely a water drop in the sea.

when you cut back on benifits at a time when jobs are hard to find so the poor are stressed and then cut back on police so they are stressed and over worked some one is bound to break,
its just bomb waiting to go off

When I am stressed, I go for a run, or see my GP. Next time I might burn down my neighbours house, that will help.

i didn'y say i agree with it but look at this countries past it happens every time, the 80s minors strikes/riots are a easy example or the race riots of the 20s in london all down to the poorest people being made poorer and reacting with the only powerthey have the power of the mob.

[MaxAndPaddy]

this is the poorest people in london society lashing out at a country they feel has let them down, the shooting was just a catalist, it happens time and time again people are stressed that they can't find work that there benifits have been cut and that so much has been taken away from them in the cuts, of course there are soom amoung them that are just opitunist thiefs but they wouldn't of been given the opitunity if people didn't feel so let down.

I'm not heartless about this issue, BUT if this was a genuine uprising of people feeling let down with todays society why is it places like Curry's and Carphone Warehouse being targeted?

Like I posted before the true reason for a protest is soon lost by oppotunists and and thugs

everyone is in the same boat.
im from one of the poorer poorist suburbs of birmingham (handsworth if you wish to google it), im not out on the street breaking into not only shops, but peoples houses.
i work and pay for everything, people have to help themselves, and i dont mean the the contents of shops illegally.

maybe initially it was politically motivated but certainly not now in anyway.

Even though you maybe in one of the poorest suburbs of birmingham - It's that bad there just yet. I can see the smoke from my house, there is no plus side to this at all.

End of the day, it was to do with the policeman killing someone who had it coming to him, the policeman had every right to kill him.

[1293sleeper]

well if you lose your job and can't afford to pay your bill have to sell every thing you worked so hard to get then maybe you might sypathis with there stress levels and i don't condone the looting but i do believe this is a reacting to the the sistuation these people find them self in, happy people don't react this way.

these riots will have absolutely nothing to do with the countries economic state.

soho road, a very main road in birmingham and less than a mile form my house is in a bad way, i can hear sirens but cant see smoke as my window, (on the roof of my loft room) faces the wrong way...

[1293sleeper]

lets hope they mistake you for "someone who had it coming to him" or some one you care about, he was a suspect he was not found guilty of any thing and wegave up the barbarek death penalty year ago, the police had no right to shoot that man the same as the looter have no right to do what they are
