How can this be happening in England? At some point that's a question that requires some attention.

Three men killed in Birmingham.

Pictures from around the country. These are tiny pockets but they are happening in several major cities. The picture of Salford makes me want to cry.

I saw a couple on tv being interviewed. They'd come here from Sri Lanka in the early 90s and built up a grocery store. Thye had building's insurance, but not contents insurance (maybe they were only just keeping in profit and couldn't afford it, i dunno.) and their store has been looted of everything. Including the tills. They've lost in excess of £50k and are now ruined.

They showed on the news yesterday people being helped out of burning buildings, one person seemed to be leaping from the flames.

Some of the rioters are as young as 10 and 11.
