England had a scorching August, but it was nothing to do with the summer sun. It was a wave of riots and looting which seemingly sprang from nowhere, but which gripped London for days and spread to other cities nationwide with buildings torched and streets trashed. Police struggled to contain the worst violence in decades. RT's Laura Smith watched events unfold and covered this story for us.

  • Anarchy is order.

    This is chaos. The government brought this on themselves. If you wave around a gun at the people to get them to comply, whilst robbing them dry, sooner or later, they'll get pissed.

  • zionists were responsible for the riots

    the money was sent to support israel killing kids

    zionists are vile scum

    thmb up if you support freedom

  • lol that cop at 1:13 is the face of their collective cowardliness

  • @MysticPotato68 The funny thing is, the U.K. is one of the countries bailing the Euro out...

    We give the EU Billions and we don't get anything out of it.

  • Russia Today We Are Doing Split Screen On Call Of Duty Black Ops

  • its really hard to listen to what she's saying because the people in the background are doing really crazy shit

  • @Dorisequador Lions and Tigers are DIFFERENT species in the same FAMILY, which is why they don't mix. You still don't understand the simple biology of the fact and are proving nothing but your own ignorance. Humans and Chimpanzees are in the same biological FAMILY, but not the same specie which is why they don't mix. There are no "kinds", there are merely different colors. Like Labradors can be black or brown or white, they're still Labs and still mix.
