  • They probably weren't doing it in the 1930's because there wasn't the easy of access to a market in which to sell it. The world is much smaller now and as a result business opportunities abound.

  • 1:12 -What's going on over the reporter's left shoulder?

  • My memory is Qaddaffi said a plague of locusts would devour Europe if his government was destroyed

  • Bankers rob billions you dont see them making the news

  • @daniel27121993 They don't? You're joking, right?

  • @MONOPOLY35 "Aluminium" is in fact the correct term for the said element and aluminum is just US English.

  • But there's no recession. The denial runs thick and deep and long.

  • You didn't notice moral collapse in London's cleptocratic high finance society? I'd deal with that before chasing vans with holes in the bottom.

  • hey, thats a great idea......

  • people are hungry , people are losing everything , if someone was fed or taken care of in any way at all by these things being taken good for them , if someone took my art for survival then it would be more complimentary to me lol , the options and THEORYs one could have of what the money made from these ACTIONS are endless , but to passivly assume it is in the negative is ignorant and disrespectful to survival , some things are missing oh well , people are dieing , thats more important

  • Blacks and Arabs have no reason to have appreciation for England infrastructure or English history and art.

  • So let me get this straight.Metal theft effect thousands of people(How does it effect).When the Bankster steal trillions of pounds/dollars doesn't that effect millions/billions of people.My point is if there was not a collapse.There would not be any/less theft of metal.People who stole the metal probably trying to feed their family or keeping them warm from the cold.Why don't the British police/government go and investigate the Banksters.

  • @211Alucard it is not a crime if they wear a suit and tie... duh

  • The rat did it.

  • They also didnt have Crack, Cocaine, XTC, Heroine, Methanphetamines, and Doctors who prescribe many many addictive things, half the world is addicted to some type of drug, and when you cant get it, you have to steal or commit crime, this isnt for food its for drugs.

  • Phew! Thank God I am not a robot living in the UK.

  • Metal theft was greatly reduced in California by requiring I.D. when cashing in Metals and then they will send you a Check to the mailing address on the I.D. card.

  • @Silveready1 Yes but there's still a black market and there's been a recent decline in the price of metals. When the prices rise again, so will the thefts. The government and banks steal, so why shouldn't the people? They lead by example.

  • @JRCrowley I personally don't look to Banks or Politicians to be my Moral compass, I don't steal because it's wrong, if our Financial institutions and Government are corrupt then they need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law.

  • @Silveready1 I was being semi-facetious. But the reality remains, and looking to your government isn't an option. They are YOUR government, right or wrong. These days, most of it is clearly wrong. What are you going to do about that?

  • @JRCrowley Understood, IMO my first responsibility is to make sure my Children understand the difference between right and wrong and that they know what their God given rights are, after that I promote Representatives that concur with my beliefs -like Ron Paul.

  • I heard people are even stealing guns for the metal.

  • Worst to come yet.

  • reduce people to poverty and what do you expect?

  • I can bet you it was migrents

  • Let's hope they take care of Anish Kapoor's latest multimillion horror for the Olympic games.

  • Humanity needs to realize that there are secret societies working against the masses, and hide behinde "religion"! Unless you ban all cults/gangs activity, you will not be able to have an upper hand! But by the time this will actually happen, we will be fighting against bio-bots!

  • EU = SOVIET UNION

  • Pikey cunts

  • @TheBullionBoy You're not wrong!!!

  • No one can destroy the metal. The metal will strike you down with a vicious blow.

  • Comment removed

  • I thought that London had hundred of thousands of cameras. Why are these crimes not being filmed by those many cameras???

  • METAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • desperate times call for desperate things 

  • Well I wonder if the UK is becomng like Pakistan or India...well certainly, British cuisine is now curry vindaloos, tandoori chicken and butter chicken...so next, you have the locals stealing metals from all over...so what next...UK movies having song and dance numbers or UK men and women wearing halloween costumes...

  • @Bander1 UK became a kingdom by ruling India over 200 years, where it systematically stole diamonds, gold and silver from the sub continent. Also imposed puppet dictators who imposed inhuman taxes which where transferred to your Queen. In short, its payback time bitches!

  • @asif365: So you admit that you're a thief?

  • @mieroth I dont even live in UK;

    Did you just admit that you stole the kohinoor, taxed and slaved poor Indians and currently through imf, your fiat currency and compound interest still enslaving them?

    My friend Karma is a bitch? deal with it.

  • @asif365: So you approve of thievery except when British people did it in the past? There's a word for that: hypocrisy. And the IMF is an international organization not even headquartered in the UK. That you feel the need to blame UK for all of your problems says all I need to know about you. Also - I'm not British.

  • @Bander1 ITS SCRAP MERCHANTS NOT LOCALS

  • Jeepers, Cameras every 10 feet in London and this Horrendous crime was missed by all of them??? I mean, there had to be at least 4 guys with BLOW TORCHES!!!

  • @Silveready1 That why they done it, they checked for the cameras, and done the deed, and dont forget, that the do catch people.

  • Check Buckingham Palace. Word is the queen's budget is strained.

  • Bubbles moved to London?

  • @Joeybagadounuts08 he did not skrap he referenced shopping karts

  • LISTEN TO THE SONG "JUNKYARD" BY THE GROUP TASK FORCE

  • I have to ask this.. Do they happen to have gypsies over there? because that would explain a lot. My country is plagued by gypsies and these fuckers steal metal from everywhere. We even had a few rail-road accidents because gypsies had stolen the tracks

  • @adrianRK They're the main culprits of metal theft in Britain, yes. Or Irish travelers rather.

  • Sad :(

  • If you start hanging all the criminals, crimes will actually be reduced overtime, get it?

    If you capture the criminals, and then fine them or release them afterwards what use will that do?

  • They should ban cash-in-hand for metal. Or simply ban the private industry, and make it a state enterprise.

    This isn't a moral problem, it's due to the price of metal and the ease at which it can be exported - both are the result of globalisation.

    The majority of these crimes are committed by white men in vans, or by our own Irish Traveler community.

  • @theindiekidable They will get on top of the situation. CCTV should help. Theere will be pikeis involved.

  • razzle dazzle ni66ers!!!!

  • The headline should read, due to Economic and Social Injustice citizens salvage metal to survive.

  • Metal theft... Same shit going on in Hungary. Gypsies...

  • In the Midwest US, meth heads strip copper wiring and plumbing from any vacant building. Recently a pick-up with a wench in the back stole all sorts of metal objects from my neighbors.

  • How did this become a religious debate? I understand that atheist and fundamentalist communities are both very vocal on the internet but why here? Go find a Ray Comfort video or an Atheist Experience video or something like that to have this debate.

  • @BBP081

    I totally agree with you... I made the mistake of asking MrBritam about whom he considers to be English because I said earlier that those driving pickup trucks and trading in metal look white and he replied that them being white doesn't make them English ..... Then I was shocked to hear his reply about the English are the sons of Isaac (Saxons) :)

    As you can notice .. from then on the discussion deteriorated into something else

  • I have the sense that the thieves are real rats. Not sure why, just a sense.

  • @slewofdamascus - Yeah, me too. I noticed that!

  • Gypsies or east-europeans.

    Their MO.

    Even in finland romanian and bulgarian gypsies and east-europeans immigrants have started to steal metal off buildings and construction sites.

  • @Tounushi

    In Norway they go after outboard motors and even pump diesel out of the ground from gas stations. Nothing is safe, it goes to the Baltics and Russia. An insurance company investigated some stolen Mercedes S class, and found them in White Russa, they were being used as police cars!

  • How can a politician talk of moral collapse? They get their wages through extortion. Metal theft is going up here because there is no work, high unemployment, and rising living costs, all brought about by politicians, banksters, and their debt based money system.

  • @jwhitenstall I agree, Economic and Social injustice caused this not immigrants or druggies.

  • Invest in gold and silver those are the only metals worth getting your hands on.

  • a house divided shall fall

    000-009 that half a circle

    MATTHEW 12:25And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: 26And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?

    0047-0050 -whiteman gone

    OBADIAH 1:18.....there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the LORD has spoken it.

  • @GMSREVEALSTRUTH - GMSREVEALSTRUTH 14:00 - Blah blah blah, gibberish, gibberish, gibberish.

  • OMG, someone save Judas Priest and Iron Maiden!

    But seriously, government don't give a fuck about people, society don't give a fuck about government, and why would you think individuals will give a fuck about anything then themselfs? This kind of relations where advertised for a long time, greed, racism and what not.

  • no one mentions gordon brwn and his metal theft?

    no wonder england is faling apart!

  • The 12 tribes are the so-called negroes, latinos, and north american indians-the brits and amerikkkans are edomites,.from esau..you believe bullshit with that Herbert Armstrong lie about the 10 tribes..the prophesies fit a certain people...them fake jews in israel are edomites also.your economy is reduced to metal sales because the whitemans rule is very soon over....the big metal trade will be missiles blasting that azz..the lake of fire is for u....try to steal and jail them missiles..udevils!

  • Don't forget to steal the Maggie Thatcher statues.

  • The guy at ~2:15 probably doesn't realize that the market for stolen metal wasn't as readily available as it is today due to globalization, an increased demand for the metals and decreased difficulty in attaining them fresh from the ground...

  • People want a social Darwinism, every man for himself type of economy then complain when that's what they get- the metal thieves and the city of London thieves are two peas in a pod destroying hundreds of dollars of wealth to put a dollar in their pocket.

  • @billybobhobnob101 Good point, and lets just forget the people starving and dying trying to get a loaf in their hovel rather than a dollar in their pocket.

  • Gypsies.

  • This is why we must put an end to the central banks to prevent this kind of shit. Metal theft is most associated with the down collapse of civilization when there isn't enough real money around to justify the ends.

  • Fucking bigots in the comments. Millions of English are fucking broke. This is not a multicultural problem you retards, it's an economic problem. When brits can't afford to feed their damn children they steal, same as any people in the world FUCKING STARVING.

  • @TheAnubisDrake I see you are an American, which explains you lack of knowledge about Europe and foul language. I live here and I can assure you this is the work of some east european mafia types, not poor english families. Good luck occupying wall street, I´m sure they are shaking in there white shoes.....not.

  • @SatansSonn I'm binational, thanks for assuming though. I know that in the US and Mexico though that it is poor families doing this. It doesn't take a criminal mastermind or organization to steal manhole covers laying in the streets.

  • @TheAnubisDrake Sure, anybody could do it, but only these mafia guys have the initiative and drive to make it a line of work.

    Sorry for assuming anything, I only go by what I see.

    P.S. I am not really a son of satan, thats just something I made up.

  • @SatansSonn No problem, and I am not an Egyptian Duck either :P

    It only takes about 1 cover per month, maybe 2, to keep a family of 4 fed. You telling me that you wouldn't as a family person take that relatively minor risk to keep your relations from death?

  • @TheAnubisDrake: Given that Eastern European criminal gangs are also known for stealing metal in Norway - one of the richest and most equal countries in the world - your hypothesis makes little sense.

  • @mieroth This isn't Norway they are talking about, so your argument is makes little to no sense.

  • they are prob illegal immigrants!

  • Metal theft like this has been going on for decades. The Globalists want metals registered and controlled. That's why mouthpieces like al Jewzeera are trumpeting stories like this. Watch the law being brought in to control the posession and sale of ALL metals.

  • Comment removed

  • Multiculturalism at it's best.

  • Society is collapsing, Corruption which btw that fat Politician had me laughing as Politicians are the most corrupt, well Corruption is from top to bottom.

  • @valhala56 *face palm* Take it from someone who has an extensive knowledge of history - every generation thinks the previous were morally or intellectually superior, or had a lower crime-rate. If you want an image of the past, look at any of Hogarth's or Cruickshank's or Gillray's sketches and you'll soon realise our generation is no different from 18th or 19th century. And stop watching Downton Abbey! The past was not glorious, it was brutal and short.

  • @theindiekidable *face palm* first off I'm not a Brit, Second my comment has more thumbs up then yours. Third you may know something of History but you are clueless on current affairs. Has it occured to you why this metal theft is all the sudden gotten out of control in the UK and the US? We are in a Global Economic collapse. Society as we know it is collapsing right in front of your friggin eyes you twit & you go on about Sillray's sketches. Tyburn gallows will make a comeback fool.

  • @valhala56 Ha ha ha what utter bollocks. 'society', is not gettin richer each year as fast like you are used too. Its more like you got some unrealistic expectations combined with your overdamatic nature, combined with watching rating chasin' dramatic 'puedo news like RT, and such and any other crap you find to back up the big exciting panic lets pray to Gog disaster, lol lol . You kind of get off on talking yourself into something exciting relieve the boredom of being rich.

  • @amemy1 <-----Fail. You hadn't a clue what I am talking about do you?

  • @valhala56 maybe not. The past was butal and short, agree with that- many dont have even the slightest clue about how hard life was.

  • @valhala56 BTW if you are from the US, (off topic I know), but what do you do with all that oil yiou all use? I cant find out too much about where it all goes. Do you have the aircon on 24/7, is it the SUVs? flying? having asparagus transported form the other side of the world for a snack? or a combination of these?

  • @valhala56 All politician are not corrupt, many a squeaky clean, however the tiny minority of the idiot politicians who have fiddle some expenses are the ones everyone hears about. Trying to justify the theft of community works of art by reference to politicians is dumb.

  • I'll be damned. I am flabergasted. This is supposed to happen only in the worst of the worst!!

  • @408Magenta then welcome to the worst of the worst.

  • @408Magenta Millions of Brits out of work, homeless and starving isn't already the worst?

  • too bad that eiffel tower is not in london

  • i love the rat at the end

  • 1:25 British innovation

  • @Misterphooey

    This has been happening in South Africa for many years now, so some provincial governments keep street light burning during the day to keep out be thieves charred :P

  • @reprimand33 lights burning in day time??what for?

  • @holistic1951

    So that people or criminals wont steal the copper power cables:P

  • we have it bad in the USA to, join the club

  • This has been happening in India since long!

  • @philid123 I smell an ignorant racist that has never actually held a conversation with a black person that didn't involve screaming.

  • Comment removed

  • I don't really see anything wrong with it if it is a crime of need. The memorial was horrifically ugly. And what the fuck does a gaudy war memorial do for the dead, it doesn't seem to bring them back. It certainly doesn't stop those in charge from carelessly sending thousands more to get slaughtered as cannon fodder. It seems UK (and US) politicians care more about soldiers when dead than when alive.

  • @Odraciralot Well, you would say this, since it had nothing to do with you, (unless you are the thief) being from Africa. Next time I feel the need, I will be sure to come to your house....when your not home of course .LOL.... UK is doomed...get out now.

  • @SatansSonn He was in support of stealing a public item when in need and you threatened him/her with personal attacks and home invasion, how very caring of you.

  • @TheAnubisDrake

    yep......me so bad.......did you know that this is just the internet?

  • @SatansSonn You know that it doesn't matter where you are an asshole, it still makes you an asshole.

  • Cool, total system collapse is close.

  • same problem here in Antarctica

  • stealing WWI placards dedicated to soldiers who fought and died in one of the most savage and horrendous wars in human history?? I think the Brits need to pass a new law: upon the capture of any of this vile filth, they need to be shipped into the middle of the worst war zone with nothing but a shot and a kick to the nuts.

  • Same problems we had in Jamaica, we had to ban the trade.

  • What an idiot it did not happen in the 30s and people were much poorer, they always miss the obvious they were bloody all English in the 30s

  • @MrBritam

    I don't know any foreigners involved in the scrap metal business!... just look out for pickup trucks collecting metal and you'll only see white British men driving them.

  • @123VivaDjazair Since when being white makes you English

  • @MrBritam

    And what do you define as English? and what makes you think that Britain in the thirties didn't have foreigners?... Jews, Irish .. etc

  • @123VivaDjazair As the bible states son of Isaac God stated they will be known as Isaac-son {Saxon} and they will live in a Great country- {Great Britain} no other country in world with this title the Irish. Have the same D.N.A. as the English as we have common ancestry from the ten lost Hebrew tribes the Jews never get their hands dirty and are money leaders. Now you know what you have to be to call yourself English.

  • @MrBritam

    ha ha ha ... I don't know if you're serious or not but that Isaac-son (Saxon) claim made me laugh :)

    I hope you're just being sarcastic otherwise you're as deranged as those who claim that the vikings were black :)

    on the other hand if you're really interested to know where are the real Hebrews... you'll probably find them in huge concentration camp in the middle east called "GAZA"... and their jailers are Euro-Mongol khazars who dream of being the lost tribes of Israel :)

  • @123VivaDjazair I suppose the British Royal family is not the thrown of David, and we don’t have Jacobs pillar the coronation stone, you should at least try to find some fact’s out about the country you sneak into, it’s all well documented if you took the time to research it. Only fool would make statement it funny without research you need to open an open a book or at least use you the internet.

  • @MrBritam

    Sorry.... I loath conspiracy theories like those who consider religious symbolism to be historical evidence.

    People who follow your logic are either retarded or Zionists trying to fool credulous people.

    You talk about documentation and research yet you're far away from what is universally accepted as historical evidence.

    I suggest you study history objectively .... but only do it after you emptied your head from the garbage you have already amassed.

  • @123VivaDjazair Atheist has no evident to put on any table and have proven themselves the world’s biggest murders in history mainly through communism. Atheist is a very small minority in the world but they think they know all, how foolish they are. You are the Zionist you play their game not me.

  • @MrBritam You're sickening piece of shit anti-Semite. You're argument whatever it is going to be dumb, (even it made any sense whatsoever.) p.s. Cable Street.

  • @theindiekidable You replied because truth hurts, if it was just dumb you would not I have taken the time out you day, sorry the English are waking up.

  • @MrBritam Atheist already make up around 15% of the world population. A very small minority you say, Haha.

    You want evidence for why people don't believe in your religious trash, OPEN YOUR BIBLE and READ! It's a retards fairy tale.

  • @TheAnubisDrake I think the figure is 3.5% and falling but atheist lie what’s new, theory science 0-0 created everything now that is a fairy tale and you can see 600 million light years across the universe and tell me there is a planet like earth but you can’t see the surface of Mars what a bunch of fools you lot are, we are not all foolish and gullible. 

  • @MrBritam I would think that you are if you think spectrometry is going to make us "see the surface of Mars".

  • @MrBritam Only 68% - 90% of the globe claims a religion. I just looked it up. Sorry you are wrong.

    The bib bang has nothing to do with atheism. That is a scientific theory that you obviously don't understand, or you would not be calling it something from nothing.

    We can see the surface of mars, we even have vehicular robots up there right now driving around and taking samples.

    You believe in 2,000 year old stories with no proof and you call us foolish. LOL

  • @TheAnubisDrake Atheism sorry but it’s in mass decline and the atheist country’s around the world like North Korea force the population into the proven religion of atheism, which we have witness over the of last century as mass killers and against free speak. I send some backup on this if you wish.

  • @MrBritam The big bang so you are a creationist now as the big bang proves the Bible to be correct. That’s why so many so called idea, so called never invented nothing scientists are quoting the universe came from nothing, don’t you keep up the crazy world of silly ideas.

    Mars you change your ideas what’s on mars every six months but tell me there probably life 6000 million light years away.

  • @MrBritam I don't need to see your "back up" I know it's all crap about Stalin and such. I've been arguing this for over 10 years. I know ALL your argument.

    Atheism is not a religion, it is the lack of religion. You don't even know what the heck atheism is and you are trying to argue against it. LOL

    Atheism doesn't need proof of itself. Your religion and any others we look into being false is evidence enough to not believe in them.

    No I am not a creationist.

  • @MrBritam The religion of atheism has no proof and evidences nothing, and that’s absolute truth; on the other hand the bible has loads. I bet you are all looking forward to atheist festival on April fool’s day.

  • @MrBritam Your all dirty bums without a toothbrush if you ask me.

  • fuck the people - expect them to fuck back... you will see a lot more of the same in years to come.

  • Same problem in Kenya

  • metal trolls?

  • I don't blame them metals have high value these days

  • Some monuments are so ugly they deserve to be demolished ;-)

  • in UK, they steal ur pants !!

  • In the 30´s poverty era the public metal infrastructure was left alone, but now it gets ripped off. What´s different now?

    hint....................immigr­ation from EastEurope, Africa?...... just saying..........GoodBye GB

  • I like the rat at the end. Was that Al Jazeera making fun of Graham?

  • People have been doing this in America for decades. Always see crackheads ripping up flooring in abandoned home to get at the copper piping and that. you see them walking down the street with a trolley full of metal

  • @CreditDue52 that reminds me: must get into the crack game.

  • The supposed queen of england has a mass storage of gold/silver/jewels in her places of residence.I wonder how long till the thieves wisen up and go for the real valuable things.

  • Put more camera, and once arrested, send them to the US.

    We have private jail here, and I promise you they will know hell.

  • @yes4me - Are you bragging or complaining?

  • Grand Metal Theft V: London Stories

  • Imagine the scale this has to be done on to make it profitable, has to be gangs roaming around in vans if not trailers.

    Wonder how long it will take before they start spreading out across the rest of Europe.
