    Seeing as we have a thread for any player that gets linked with us, we may as well have a thread for this, rather than it being spread over 3 off-topic threads.

    Anyway, disgraceful scenes, only a matter of time before the Army get rolled out.

    They are saying the Army won't be used . Listened to it last night on BBC radio merseyside and it was bleeding disgraceful. Thugs that's all they are. Little kids that need a good smack.

    Rolling out your army against your own people is a dangerous step. Typically countries that set their army against their own are not the type of country that you want to be in, its a slippery slope.
    Armed forces are a LAST RESORT and would require legilation to be changed I'd imagine.

    Begs the question does London consider Northern Ireland as they're "own people" or just an inconvienence. If I was a little orange man I may be wondering does Lizzy really love me:D In all seriousness though, water cannon, rubber bullets, tir gas etc would've been used all ready if Belfast was burning.

    60% of the entire UK Police force, are now in London, leaving 40% for the rest of the country, minus the big wigs, and office jockies, that's just asking for trouble, send the army in just with shields and batons etc, NO guns. It just gives extra trained hands to help the cops stop the Riots. As the man power is not there at the moment.

    Sky News are giving No Coverage to any of the other cities such as Liverpool, Birminghan and Bristol.

    I see they are playing this Black Berry Messanger thing.

    There should be a 10pm curfew, then whoever is on the street after that time is fair game.
    Water cannons, rubber bullets, tear gas, whatver it takes.
