Gordon Blue	Rioters in the streets - shops and offices burned down - police officer sattacked - government getting tough - the civilian population living in fear ...... Syria? No. England!
JK2006	And I guarantee it will happen soon in America; now the power of Twitter/Facebook and the Internet/mobile phone media has been discovered as a tremendous criminal asset, just watch the Yanks make the most of it.
TED	If this had occurred in the US, the military would have been called in with orders to shoot on sight as they did when katrina hit New Orleans. Of course it would have been a lot worse in the US since almost everyone has a gun.
In The Know	JK2006 wrote: The power and efficiency of the social networks. They brought change (good? bad?) in North Africa. They are the key reason for the efficiency of the rioters. They are just using the main communication tool available, JK. There were riots in London in the 50s, 60, 70s and 80s. Its a little more spontaneous now rather than planned.
The Fat Controller	In Manchester young people using twitter to arrive en masse to help clean up the mess. Unfortunately none of them will make it to the front pages. Cameron completely out of his depth. Water cannon and baton rounds would be 'useless' a police spokesman said, due to the sparodic nature and small pockets of looters. This is when we need a Thatcher!
