Similar economies, different societies? The Welsh ... are they big on rioting? I can't remember many. :unsure: |

And you're Welsh? That's surreal.
Gives an interesting perspective on how history is written for it's audience. Turns out Llywelyn ap Gruffydd wasn't a traitor after all but just a man trying to defend his country from invaders. :thumbup: |

It would be good until you went out for a pint of milk and got sprayed by accident....
You'd have to be desperate to get a pint of milk in the middle of a riot especially when the water cannon is out. I was heading to Trafalgar Sq the day of the Poll tax riot. When I knew what was going on I turned around and went somewhere else. |

Of course we would need a plebiscite to decide on the colour. How about black or white? :ohmy: |
Re: common link to the riots
Ref: Blue Dye
This was OUR idea originally for use in Belfast etc however MOD consulted the Lawyers before hand and guess what? NO! Human rights infringed or some other crap! |
Re: common link to the riots
From personal experience if you shout 'MOVE BACK OR THE BATON GUN WILL BE USED AGAINST YOU!!' its amazing how responsive the scumbags become

Funny that given the most diverse population of the UK and the arrival of thousands of immigrants in all eras. Really amazed at how little research is put into the news sometimes. |

I seem to recall that s1 Riot is a 'found committing' offence - I don't think that method would fly in the UK. I believe that the arrest has to be made at the time of the offence, and not afterwards. I may be wrong - It's been a long time since I looked at anything like this! One thing I do remember is that Riot is rarely charged, as any damage that is caused during a 'Riot' has to come out of police coffers or something, so more often than not, folk are charged with Violent Disorder instead, so that the police don't have to cop the fees for damage. I doubt they would get away with that here though... S |

Some quite nice stories coming through of that sort of thing... S |
