Me political agenda? you re having a laff mate, I ve never voted in my life. I bet you have. You "heard" it was the anarchist lot that started this? and then you ask me to get my facts right? Well I heard my aunty has got balls, but guess what.. it wasnt true.. DOH!

What then happened was a bunch of idiots (I have heard it was the anarchist lot) hijacked the march and started the violence. But don't let the facts get in the way of your political agenda!

I am actually. I dont think its a coincidence he got shot by the police the same day this started. But thats my opinion only. Apparently another trigger was rough policing to a peaceful protest that demanded justice. Maybe its a clue that rough policing will trigger further violent escalations? >From a legal point of view anybody with a local passport is a citizen. Citizen: "A legally recognized subject or national of a state or commonwealth, either native or naturalized." However I take your point this has been abused by a vast majority of people who are not linked to the initial incident. A bit like hooligans that go to football games to pick a fight, not to watch football. I also agree that waving a shooting arm at police is asking for trouble. I wouldnt want to be the police officer having to make that call.

Luckily it seems to be being brought under control now, but if it wasn't then there is a very good risk of some of us citizens standing up to them ourselves, and that could indeed be called a civil war. And again, let's not try and link what is happening with the shooting in Tottenham, it is totally unrelated and the vast majority of those looting wouldn't even know the blokes name. The bloke who was shot was waving around a firearm, so let's also not infer that this was another innocent victim or police brutality. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Eric B Sent: 10 August 2011 10:27 To: McWilliams, Brendan, VF-Group (bmcwill) Cc: leedslist Subject: Re: [LU] Riots maybe they re not using plastic bullets because they dont want to risk killing kids? After all this did start by someone being shot by the police. tear gas wont kill anyone so maybe thats a better idea. I note that quite a few people wants the army involved however I d say that putting the army against your own citizens is similar to a civil war in many respects. I understand these are riots but hey... Hence I agree this is a job for the police and not the army.
