You obviously havent seen the groups I have, then. They're actually proud of what's happening.

That's actually pathetic. I'm actually dismayed by the yob culture mentality that's so prevalent in our country these days. I mean, I know our image abroad is the stuck up country, but, nowadays, it's anything but.

I think the riots originally started over that police shooting, but now it seems to have escalated into rioting... for the sake of it. It's sad.

News has just broken that riots have started in Liverpool.

So yes, I think it is spreading up the country with London, Birmingham and Liverpool

My thoughts are with all of our Ledgies in England right now. Please be safe. I'm so sorry you have to go through this.

I don't think I can ever remember being this scared. When it hits Bradford (which it will because it can never be left out of anything bad) it's gonna be destroyed. There's far too many angry yobs here as it is to keep us safe.

And for the looting - so now all the yobs will be watching the media coverage, with great satisfaction, on the TV's they never paid for!

It's Brit Slang, meaning rude, noisy, aggressive, etc.

There was an absolutely awful youtube video floating around showing a crowd of 200ish vs 8 riot police, just running at them and flinging ****. I hope everyone who lives near where this stuff is going down is gonna be okay, it doesn't look like it's gonna end anytime soon and all the twitter rumours aren't helping.

Ah, ok. Thank you. I'll have to add that one to my vocabulary.

What Artemis said, plus I have a few more choice words for "yobs" like thugs, vandals, mindless morons, brainless neanderthals, knuckle scrapers, etc etc etc!

The BBC is showing clips of rioting in other cities. How are our Ledgies doing?

It's hit manchester now. People are tweeting that The Arndale Centre, the main mall in the city centre, has been broken into and looted and there are various shops on fire. I'm about 14 miles away in the countryside so I am safe but there are too many people that I know who live there.

The news has just said "hundreds of people are rioting down market street in Manchester".
