London Riots

[JH Fan]

Couldn't help myself starting this thread

Specially since you guys think I like riots.

Suggestion to B palace : next time... try to spend a little bit less for your royal weddings !

Now where is that post I did about the fact it can happen anywhere... mmm

Here's a good article from CS Martin' favorite newspaper

Any suggestions where it might happen next ?

Don't know why but I have a couple in mind and something tells me we will see many more of them before this year is over !

But not in 2012 since we all gonna die

this might sound stupid ... but hope we get some good rocknroll out of it like The Clash or The Who

London is an expensive city to live in. There is a lot of anger among the poor in the UK.

I'd read it except just the label means it's not worth any serious reading.

Washington D.C. -- regular folks need to send a message to our dysfunctional federal government.

Hey ! good stuff CS. been a while we didn't exchange any BS on this board !
The article was just the bait as you well know !

Have fun !

BTW. expenses are at around $160M apparently.

Just for the sake of it !
Vancouver 2011 hockey riots are at $5M.
While in Mtrl 2010 the estimate is about $1-2M.

And if you compare to the G20 summit at TO ?
It's a laugh !

Our super intelligent Canadian federal gov. out here in TO spent the whopping sum of $858M (officially) on security (the excuse) to avoid such a riot which didn't work.
