Riots in London

**ronin sparthos** · 2011-08-09 13:57

Of all the places to loot, you go for a dollar store? lol

**Naggi** · 2011-08-09 13:57

Apple have really thought ahead in this case, yeah. They've cleared their entire stock out and shut it away under lock and key... and presumably behind very thick doors and walls as well.

I'm guessing it's one of those 'why would you shop there?' stores?

Yes, Poundland is like a dollar store.

It is.

If you are going out of your way to rob at store at least pick a good one? Especially that girl with packs of crisps stuffed under her jacket... I meant they are like 5 for a pound anyway lol. Congratulations, you stole 80p worth of goods.

I walked out of a store once with a pack of $.50 wafers by accident and realized halfway down the street... ran back immediately and bought like $20 of random shit out of guilt, including the wafers. true story

I forget, where in Liverpool are you Naggi? Isn't it Aigburth area? How are things going there? Friends of mine who live around the chinatown area have said all the shops and restaurants have closed up early today and they're not sure about opening tomorrow yet. I'm even debating my trip into town tomorrow. :/

There is, but it's BBCRadio5, which is not available outside of the UK

Would have to wait for a pirate restream, or some kind hearted bg-uk member to rip it and rehost.

I'm no more comfortable with white trash people (chavs and rednecks) than I am with black people so I don't think it's fair for you to just shrug this off as me being racist and biased. If this thread was about chavs, rednecks, the EDL, etc, etc I would damn well be saying I think they're trash too.

This is what I don't get about racists.

Ghettos -> crime

Most people in ghettos -> blacks

Hence, blacks -> crime.

It's very difficult to establish causal links in sociology. We can establish correlates, but not causality. It's really an example of...

As ice cream sales increase, the rate of drowning deaths increases sharply.
Therefore, ice cream causes drowning.

Leva presents a simple conclusion, which is technically a correlation - but he characterizes it as a causality.

Short response: dumbass

**Draggy** · 2011-08-09 14:06

At least the rumours of stuff starting up in P'boro were untrue. Queensgates' poundland and JJB sports are safe for now lol

**drwaffles** · 2011-08-09 14:06

So weird to see pictures of places in Manchester that I often walk through posted on BG.

**MoogleAura** · 2011-08-09 14:07

Radio 5 are saying Miss Selfridges has been set on fire in Manchester with a mob of people on the way to the Arndale shopping centre.

Hi Moogle - no, I'm miles off in the Childwall area. Yeah, just heard about Chinatown shutting up shop, although ironically there are claims that the restaurants in L1 will be open tonight... god knows why. Noone is going to want to have a fancy meal in the middle of the scally/police battlefield.

**drwaffles** · 2011-08-09 14:09

Also why are people still arguing against a banned and obvious troll?

**solanis** · 2011-08-09 14:12

I doubt he was trolling tbh

Still no authorization to use tear gas to disperse the crowd?
