Kevin S. Assilleekunt 1 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 (edited) Just watching a talk with Mark Steyn, a journo who rattles on about problems with European society (HF you won't like him, he criticizes Islam). He was on about people being able to live in a state of permanent adolescence because they abdicate adult responsibilities to the state, aided in part by benefit culture. I'm confused. I'm just trying to ascertain why so many of these rioters haven't the slightest sense of morality. Again, perhaps there aren't as many rioters as shocking tv images suggest. I hope Snoop straightens herself out, she has talent, but she has got to get the hell away from the drugs mann/ Edited August 10, 2011 by Kevin S.

ohhh_yeah 2765 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Rioters in Manchester and Salford have been told that they face being evicted from their council homes if they are identified on CCTV footage. Both city councils have issued warnings that if any of their tenants or their children have been involved in violence or looting they will be "thrown out". http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-14478498 http://nathanieltapley.com/2011/08/10/an-o...merons-parents/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether it would happen is another thing but at least it might make some of them think twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to take the families in question to court etc. and there's the children's welfare to consider and so on and so forth, so with all the arguments you can see it turning out to be an empty threat. Also, what's the end solution even if they were evicted? Unscrupulous landlords taking up the slack and the taxpayer paying even more in the long run?

Kevin Carr's Gloves 3187 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 you know wikipedia can be edited by anyone right? theres a reason its not allowed as a source in academics No it can't, in many cases. A select few can edit certain entries - such as those of major cities - and they're all required to provide sources. However the section on Mancunian accents being affected by immigration has no sources. It also states "could have been affected by the vast influx of immigrants introduced to the city during the Industrial Revolution" which is opretty wooly.

Happy Face 29 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 "Although people were glued to the news sites for updates on the unrest, it was Twitter which has benefited the most from traffic as a result of the unrest in London. The real-time sharing of information through Twitter has made the platform the ideal discussion platform to spread updates on major news events like the riots, and yesterday (8 August) was Twitter’s biggest ever spike in UK traffic online. Twitter accounted for 1 in every 170 UK Internet visits yesterday; by our estimations there were over 3.4 million visits to the Twitter homepage from the UK population alone. To put that in context, Twitter received 15% more visits yesterday than it did around the super-injunctions scandal, the previous biggest spike in its UK history. Somewhat unusually, the spike in traffic to Twitter was not repeated on other social media websites, especially Facebook. Looking at our postcode data helps to explain why this might be. Twitter is used widely across the UK but the most prolific Twitter users are located in London postcodes." http://digital-stats.blogspot.com/2011/08/...er-british.html I was as guilty as the next man for scoffing at twitter (Twatter etc.) when it was starting up, but it's bloody good when shit like this is going down. I hardly watched any of it on the news channels where the same pieces of video are recycled interminably for 24 hours a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6300 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 From the BBC 1417: Tory MP Mark Pawsey calls for help for owners of damaged vehicles who only have third-party insurance. Mr Cameron replies that uninsured businesses affected by the riots are getting help. I don't agree with this at all. If they had 3PF&T then surely they're covered. If they '3rd party only' cover then surely this is a financial decision they made and they should deal with the consequences? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
