In other words, the Mayor of London said that he is not surprised and these rioters have a legitimate grievance. What an idiot.
In fairness, that is the FORMER mayor of London!
Appropriately enough it was made by Birmingham Small Arms LTD
He's not an idiot; he's a communist. They don't call him "Red Ken" for nothing.
I stand corrected. Thanks.
BTW-The BBC reported the mobile phones shops are the hardest hit.
Can you explain to me how far apart these uprisings are? Are these looters a half mile away from each other or are they separated by 10 miles? Just trying to get a handle on the geography and scope of the situation.
The same folks who made some good motorcycles.
Isn’t that former mayor the one who is a commie?
He’s part of the problem obviously.
Spread out by miles. Also now occurring in other cities around England. Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester, etc..
What are the primary groups rioting? Blacks? Muslims? Organized leftists?
Missouri Synod Lutherans

This map will help you contextualise the distance in London. In Birmingham all the rioting has been confined to the city centre (or “downtown” in American vernacular)
Although my friend lives on the northern edge of the city and said she heard a lot of sirens not too long ago
I’m confused. The UK is a socialist utopia. People there have everything they want. They spend their days playing and singing Kumbaya.
What’s this riot nonsense??
On the serious side, I’m expecting this to be coming to a city near us in the not-to-distant future.
Feral, disenchanted Black and White yutes.
This is not a religious thing, that much is for sure.
There were definitely Muslims in the group. They are part of the underclass in London. Hey, maybe they are answering the call from Al Gore for an Arab Spring for Climate Change ?
No idea. I’m sure there probably has been the usual hot air from some radical cleric or other. These riots are entirely unrelated to any pronouncements of Sharia Law or such nonsense that have been taking place recently.
Since you are there I will not disagree. Thanks for your input, FRiend.
One example I can give you is that the Sikhs and the Muslims are lining the streets of the Soho Road in Birmingham armed with whatever they can get their hands on to protect their businesses. Good on them.
