100 Plus Youths Attack Police Outside Stratford Bus Station, Near The Westfield Shopping Centre In London.

Interesting to note that the Sun reported that
'One youth appeared to be armed with a long stick as troubled flared'
That so called youth was in fact a police officer.

"That so called youth was in fact a police officer. "

The bald, black man with his arms up, with a long stick, or the white man with glasses, and a stick, approaching the other man?

[Gromit]

100+ rioters.
On the video and pictures I can see less than 10, where did the other 90 go ?

Obviously 10 is too many, but why lie about the scale of the incident ?

[jno]

the people upstairs look really terrified. Probably thinking they'll have to go to Bluewater instead.

This Westfield, is it in Ghana or Nigeria?

[jno]

it's certainly not in the Jimmy Choos section of the Shepherd's Bush one, I'd recognise it at once.

I don't think that those who took the videos had panoramic lens on their cameras.

But before you condemn the report as lies, I suggest that you read the other press reports on the incident.

whilst this Westfield (the biggest in England) might imply affluence, it's in the London Borough of Newham, which has the highest rate of heat disease of any London borough, and a level of tuberculosis (per 100,000 of population) than Rwanda. (it's a teensy bit deprived, in other words...…)

[youngmafbog]

Of no surprise.

And let me guess the number of prosecutions....

YouTube Footage of the riot
(WARNING: Very boring, nothing happens).



There was a quite large gathering, but hardly any of them were ‘rioting’.
The incident didn’t get a mention on the Met Police Twitter account or website.

[youngmafbog]

Not on twitFace.

Can't have happened then. eyes roll.

Heat disease, I didn't know it was that hot in Newham. :0)

Do they not also have access to the NHS?

I wish they would stop all these excuses for them being in a deprived area, with a lack of facilities and jobs etc.

Even in the Channel 4 interviews last night Michael Gove came out with this gem regarding the escalating knife crime, "the government’s approach to knife crime should not be about law and order. It should be about love and hope.”

The best of luck with that Gove.

//Heat disease //

the end product, i'm afraid, of having to use IExplore (because that's what the company dictates and I'm not an administrator), a program that's not compatible with AB because of the long running scripts in the badly written adverts, which causes the text box to continually freeze whilst composing.

Try telling that to the 4 police officers that were injured.

What is your reason for trying to minimalize the seriousness of this incident, would you do the same if it was Tommy Robinsons mates kicking off?

[pumpjack]

before i even read the article, i bet they were not white british youths.

call me racist if you like but i say it how it is..i do not care about this pathetic label thrown out so much by pathetic liberals

i stand corrected if wrong but i dont think so

[anotheoldgit]

mushroom25

Easy mistake, I was not criticising your spelling, I just though the end result was funny.

[dannyk13]

Pumpjack There were some white youths there as seen on the video.

[Spicerack]

Poor white kids.

It is not only the pathetic liberals, but it is the whole establishment including the media, the councils and the police, who are frightened to admit that we have a particular problem with certain sections of our communities, that the UK have never witnessed before.

All down to the fear of being labelled racist.
