Street Justice: UK vigilantes stand up as police fails to combat riots

The British Prime Minister's blaming gangs, Blackberry phones, and even social networks for inciting the violence in the country. David Cameron's also said parts of society are "sick" - but locals in the affected areas say they've been neglected by the government for years. With a sense of insecurity growing on the streets, people are now forced to take matters into their own hands, as Laura Emmett reports from London.

@javstar2011 so the asian vigilantes are people standing up for their community...and the white vigilantes are 'racist bastards'? i know who sounds racist to me...

[dazzagazza6969]

@capitalistbotherer Yes, this is what I thought. A peaceful riot turns violent and not controlled...therefore spreading. You often see more police at a football game than you did against these rioters.

Police bribes, corruption and violence, phone-hacking scandals, MP expenses scandals, corrupt Banking bailouts, rising inflation and unemployment, austerity, failed Multiculturism, sovereignty given to EU.

How do you bring a country together in support of authority.......a NATIONAL CRISIS.

@pattyboi55 media are the propaganda wing of the government and they don't want the people having any power themselves

Funny how differently this was reported by the BBC. The BBC tried to paint the whites defending their own streets as BNP nutters. Disgusts me that our left wing media cannot ever show the remotest hint of support for national identity and nationlism. it's a dirty word now. But then how can we have a "one world government" if nations retain identity? There is a concerted effort to destroy nationalism and paint it as racism to water down our society so we can all be ruled as one global country.
