Can we all stop referring to this as "rioting". It is nothing more than looting from businesses in their own communities and destroying homes into the bargain. That is not "rioting", that is opportunism.
Why aren't instructions being given that looters will be shot on sight? That might deter them and nip this in the bud. Or maybe make it worse.

Token email every 20 minutes, the odd phone call, post on here. Just like the office really!

Might that be against the law?

thats because its cheap ale night

Well nightclubs aren't going to miss out on making some more money are they?

Which can easily be encompassed by the definition of 'riot': a noisy, violent public disorder caused by a group or crowd of persons

Just been sent home early from work in Liverpool. They've shut down Liverpool One a couple of hours early due to word of planned riots.
