    Muppet? Lol.

    The worst hit areas weren't swarmed (not 'swormed' btw brainbox), they were looted by kids that represented the racial make-up of those particular areas. I'm from one of the worst hit areas, Croydon, and the looters represented the racial make-up of the part of Croydon affected. FACT. The same can be said of the looting elsewhere but you still can't grasp that can you brainbox?
    Only 36% of Croydons residents are from black or ethnic minorities. More than 36% of the rioters were black. FACT. night night

    Ooooooh. Apparently they want their taxes back. That's why they're rioting. Of course.

    Sky News coverage has been quite good during these riots (they had people on the ground last night). Well with the exception of that Kay woman.

    Sorry if you were looking for a long drawn-out philosophical argument.

    My apologies, I overestimated your intellectual faculties.

    Oh piss off. The last thing people need to hear is some c*** talking about how its just black people rioting. I've seen pictures/videos and there are plenty of other ethnic minorities getting involved. Communities are being destroyed and all you can do is point a finger.

    Try reading (and comprehending) again. I clearly said 'the part of Croydon affected'. Come to that part of Croydon and you will see black people make up way more than '36%' of that particular area. As such my point stands. Night night.

    True.

    Even a black youth campaigner said thats the case on the news earlier and the woman shouting at them last night claiming they were a disgrace to the black community and hackney.

    Its not only black people, I know. However, over 90% of the photos i've seen of criminals with looted goods have been black people. Either there is a larger percentage of black people looting or the white people are just camera shy.
