History repeats itself.

The Tories have taken the blame by some for the recent riots on our streets.

Well it seems history repeats itself, this riot took place under a Labour government.

Interesting to note that the Guardian at the time reported on the stiff sentences metered out to the culprits.

I see what you mean, they are almost identical. Bradford was a race riot stirred up by Far right agitators, and similarly, Tottenham wasn't.

It matters not to the victims of a riot, what the cause was.

Don't be so pedantic.

If you must correct people over such petty matters, please make sure that you yourself are beyond reproach.

Take the matter of sentences beginning with capital letters for instance.

It is from 2001. An he accused me of posting non connected historic links on his other post.

AOG. Did someone get shot by the police before the Bradford riot then? Or maybe you think the common cause is savage blck people?

[emmie]

what we are having now is not race rioting its self service riots - help your self to someone elses goods for free

These looters make my blood boil not all people who own shops etc are what we used to call bloated plutocrats most are just hard working folk and the looters are just scum.

I am presuming that AOGs friend R1Geezer is truly suspended after his drunken rant as night - made AOG almost look like he was a liberal.
