Personally I think that's a crazy idea. I can understand suspending some civil rights, but sending in the army is madness.

What I would advise people to do is for them and their neighbours to simply hang out at the end of their streets at the local shop, doing nothing more than talking and having a coffee. A show of strength of civilization.

Farrage is such a knobhead, what does he think the police are for?

[warfossil]

@tomwash1 The same police who have no power to do anything except to be politically correct?

@chockfish i no that these are people who are desperate for money but that is no reason to start wrecking other poor areas. they should be wrecking places like central london instead of ruining the lives of many freshies and other poor people.

Nigel:we have troops in this country plus troops in Afghanistan. Lindsey:and they're not doing a very good job there either. Lindsey is a bafoon.

While people like Lindsey German are asking "why?", more businesses will face damage to the tune of thousands of pounds, livelihoods will be lost, more property will be damaged and more people hurt. But I suppose people like her aren't bothered about people's livelihoods and businesses, people like her spent 13 years destroying business opportunities in the private sector.

@rahulrajeev123 You don't know what these people are strugglin for, do you?

When this happens in the states... there will be blood in the streets. Because the first person to pour gasoline on someoneelses car will be shot by the car's owners.

Beware, the communists are going to start whispering in your ear... Ignore the temptations to surrender your civil liberties.

@fabwed how stupid are some people?

The army wont run round london spraying the rioters with machineguns....

We should have used the army in our cites, it would be cheaper, they can simply knock around those causing the riots, instead of wasting time, effort and money on arrests! Hell if we send them to prison it costs us even more!!!!!! Better and cheaper the army bash some heads in!

@weirdvideos1 Many of the people are not Brits, if they don't like it here then leave!

[weirdvideos1]

Should LOOK at these kids as heroic fighters, who are like proto-Americans, who are tired of KING GEORGE! YOU BRTISH have STOLEN their FUTURE and they are pissed! I DO NOT BLAME THEM, and IF it keeps going on over here, WE WILL be doing the same THING here! Either satisfy THE PEOPLE are you're going to have to shoot and kill them one day soon. IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT - Parliament? SHOOTING AT YOUR OWN BLOOD KIN? give us a BREAK!!!!! Arrest the TRAITORS in Government that have caused all this!!!!!
