OK, I know where is the exit

Moved to General Discussions.

And can I just confirm I have not been away because I was rioting. I was on holiday again.
There's been no trouble anywhere near where I live, it's mainly confined to the poorer urban areas and cities.

The problem is, unlike other countries, we don't use water cannons or rubber bullets or anything like that - so when there is this large-scale trouble, we don't have the ability to control them in any way. It's calmed down now in London though, although it has spread to our second and third largest cities, Birmingham and Manchester.
I don't think it can be compared to any other country's riots, because we haven't used much force at all, so the reason it has gone out of control is that the Metropolitan Police can't just shoot at them or hose them down. We like to talk it out peacefully over a cup of tea.

I though you away in 3 days because the internet connection was disturbed by the riots that so I post it.
Well I just hope it won't be any worser..

If you ask me, i think Thomas was in command of the Riots! And wanted to become the leader like in "V for Vendeta"

I don't have time to do that! I have elections to make, Expo's to update and a CJ that is crying out for a new update!
