A quiet night for a change

Ok things were  more quiet last night, but the weather was bad in places, so the kids were probably told to stay in and not go out looting and rioting because they might get wet and catch a cold.  It also trnaspires that some of the people doing the looting are from well to do backgrounds, some have good jobs, some had even travelled some distance to take part, so it is not all council estate scum from deprived areas doing it.

There was a huge police presence, and I spotted a convoy of 20 police vans from the Grampian region on the M6, whilst I was on my way to Blackpool.  Things were quiet indeed, have the government got things under control?  have the Looters got bored of looting, or are we in the eye of the storm?

Through out the night courts in some cities were.  Cameron sanctioned the use of water cannons and rubber bullets, which is a sad sign of things to possibly come.   Thank you for cutting short your holiday and sorting the problem out.  It still think you are a twat though.

 Britain is a nation of rioters, in the 19th century groups of weavers and knitters smashed up, framework knitting machines and looms, because they thought that these machines who cost them their jobs.  The action cost them their lives or freedom. as they were either strung up or transported to Australia.  You can not solve the problem. 

A couple of interesting sites I chanced upon told some interesting insights, one story was saying that the government were looking for powers to pull the plug on social networking sites,  now because some fuckwits have used it why should everyone else suffer.  Another story said that the police were ordered to stand back and allow the looters to get on with it, their images would be captured on CCTV and used later on.  It also suggested agent provocotures, which is a low underhanded tactic.

So the actions of these idiots, has caused more problems,  demands for troops on the streets, water cannons, rubber bullets,  well you might as well take away democracy, and impose a totalitarian regime.

Ok.  On a lighter note I will be having a break for a few days, which is well overdue and needed.  Off to scotland, and I am going to enjoy myself, so bollocks to the the government and the looters.
