Too true, or as one Army wife put it "if they want to fight, go to Afgan so my husband can come home".
So, its Tuesday, a day of work, meal out with Father in Law then back upstairs to study - lifes bland!0 -
Was up at 5 too so as I had access to today's work started early. At this rate should be home by 11. Couple of hours paperwork etc then a poss bike ride this afternoon.
Lovely day out there although bit chilly for august.Peter0 -

you could just help yourself, all you need is a bin and a window to Evans, the bike shop not the plus sized outfitters.
Morning sexy people, and good morning to anyone that isn't gazlar
on't move t'day (Yorkshire for on the move today) leaving Rotterdam and heading ten mins up the road to Scheiveningen and the Hague for some beach time. Unfortunately the weather seems to have gone the opposite way so looks like a damp beach break
museli for breakfast again, is it bad to admit I'm getting to quite like it? Think it would be a good starter for before bacon0 -
Still on leave for another 2 weeks and therefore going out to buy some more wine and popcorn to sit and watch the news for another night tonight.
I really want to have that phone call that puts me on standby to support the emergency services in London or elsewhere. Almost all of my mates also in the Army desperately want to get involved to help put an end to this disgusting behaviour.+ 1001 posts reset by the cruel cruel moderators!

Morning again Maggots,
Yea, much better now. No idea why I way awake @ 04h30 though..
Anyway home based today, just had my 1st cup of tea whilst trawling through the Interwebz reading about all the carnage that took place last night.
TBH, I think we're near the end of days, government going bust, stock markets crashing, wars, riots, famine. Fück me, something's gotta give...
On that rather grim note, I think I'll pop down to the local bike shop armed with a 2x4, crack a window and get myself an Orange 5...
Wait.. an Orange 5? Féckit, let me burn the place instead...0 -

Morning everyone!
Well, last night I had the pleasures of listening to police helicopters flying overhead, whilst down the road rioters decided to burn a car and throw rubbish at police :roll: Shoot them all I say.
Having said that, at least the reason it happened in Leeds is in response to a bloke being shot in the face, naturally, that isn't much 'news' at the moment.
Today shall be spent at work, doing worky things. Meh.It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.
Join us on UK-MTB we won't bite, but bring cake!

Morning all,
Well today, I'm sitting back unsuprised by the riots, with a police force full of bullies like we have it was bound to kick of a bit of some point, I mean watched an unmarked S-max trauling round my streets at morning rush hour purposfully doing 10 mph till people flashed them so they could pull them over
They just set people on edge instead of makign them feel safe 
The less suprising thing is the amount of little scrote sods who have joined in to go stealing and smashing stupid, I say bring the Army and smash the scrote kids and the coppers..... both lots of uhm are generally useless sods. 0 -
im not sure the police are bullies tbh, i think its blown out of proportion and they are doing a decent job. You dont know that the unmarked car you saw wasnt doing a job or part of something bigger so you cant assume they were goading people in to be pulled over.
I think they need to take a harder line and actually be more forceful and people need to realise that if people misbehave then heads will role, not that they will get away with everything they do with a slapped wrist.
I was pulled over by the police the other day for not wearing a seat belt, i got out of the car and apologised but had to supply my license and details etc but then went on my way without a ticket becuase he could see it was a honest mistake but did give me a b*llocking, i wasnt being harassed he was enforcing the law.
My mate in the passenger seat instant said the police were being over the top by repremanding me and raising his voice. I told my mate to shut up.0 -
To be honest i would,
I have had run in's witht eh police before like i mentioned above, and know a good few people who have had issues with them.
For example, Ehen one had pulled me over because i'd given him a flash due to sitting in the outside lane not overtaking doing 20 below the speed limit and blocking the road, And no i wasn't tail gatting and was very calm he pulled me over, was very rude with his colleage.
But the worst bit was when they started questions some 12 year old lads going past on a cycle path if there bikes were stolen and so on, the kids were very intmidated. it was unnescary and is normal kind of behaviour i have come to expect off the force to be honest.0 -
As for some dingbats bad mouthing the police, well I have more respect for dog turds than I currently have for the critics of the police
The cops have a hard job and the liberal soft touch imposed upon them by politicians bending to the even softer touch liberals makes the job even harder to do.
You want to see real policing, look at the U.S. if you loot you get shot. Fair game. If you bad mouth a cop, you get arrested. Fair game. If you resist, you get a beating or zapped with a Taser. Perfect.
If you try to attack a police office you may get shot. Best prevention ever.
This country needs a shake up. Put the EDL on the streets and let them sort the scum out. If the liberals don't like it, put them on the street to confront the EDL. Rest assured the liberals will go running to the police they're so critical of for protection.0 -
I have more respect for a peice of dog poop on my boot that for people who don't allow others there opinions from experience with a certain amount of respect

see your experienceis totally different to mine, i have been in an altercation in the centre of bristol where a guy started a fight by punching me, i defended myself and got him right on the nose. The police who saw the incident rushed over, broke the fighjt up took us to one side and warned us both and then got us together with them present and repremanded both of us there and then. No messing, no over the top actions just normal policing.
I wouldnt have been hard done by even if they had taken me out of the centre in a van and to a station.
The police do get a bad rep from the odd individual but these riots are based on the fact a man died in a police shooting, as he was allegedly reaching for a gun. Are you telling em that if you were a police officer and you were faced with that situation you would have reacted diferently.
The tw@s are using an excuse to reek havok on the streets and the police need to be allowed to do something about it!0 -
I agree its an excuse for a bunch of twats to pillage and have there fun and so on which is a disgusting disgrace, and i feel sorry for the police havign to deal with the scum out there.
But i also think from a public relations point of veiw they don't do alot to help themselves really, i know more people with experiences like mine, than I do ilke yours which is a shame. As they need all the support they can get for times like these and just don't think people respect them enough too give it.
And please don't think i hate all police and so on, I know there good police out there i have met them too, but most experiences and the eperiences of people i know are negative on the whole 0 -

If the EDL are so in favour of the rule of law and the police, why do they attack the police so much, and why are most of them convicted criminals?0 -

Well, some Turkish Curds armed themselves with sticks and bats and deterred the "rioters" or looters from the street where their businesses are based.
As for the EDL, well I don't love them, but they make a point when it comes to certain issues. If they want to march and protest, I say put them to good use, as the old cliche goes, "my enemies' enemy is my ally"
As for the police, they're powerless, the left wing liberals have watered them down to the point that they can do nothing but try and defend themselves. They stand by, under resourced whilst the "oppressed" loot, burn and smash
Sometimes vigilantism can pay off..0 -

any chance your 'experience' with the police isnt tarnished by your instant view of them being overly harsh, which inflames the situation.
an example would be the attitude you see people give to the police when they are pulled over, if you go in with a negative 'i aint done nuffin, you can't search me, i know my rights' attitutude then you'll provoke them to be harsher as most probably you have something to hide otherwise you wouldnt be so defensive.
Out of all of my friends across the country not one of them has every told me a story about bad policing, overly harsh policing or bad relations with the police. No one sigle person.......makes you wonder doesnt it.0 -

see i appreciate that police do a tough job and i have a few friends who are coppers and one's even a royal protection officer and they trust him with a gun!!!
but i've had a few bad instances with the police, just for example:
we were walking my mates mum home one night from the pub cos she didn't want to walk home on her own, 3 police were about 100m down the road walking towards us. they asked where we were going and we explained about walking our friends mum home to make sure she got home ok.
after we'd explained one of the policemen said "did you just tell me to fook off?" wtf, we had our friends mum with us, doing a good deed! we said no, we didn't say anything like that! he said "i just heard you say it again, wtf!!! he grabbed my mate and slammed him against the wall and asked if he had anything else funny to say?! - bear in mind that we hadn't even said anything remotely out of order to them!!!!
after about 5 minutes of attitude from the police they just wandered off...tw@ts! but i dio appreciate that they do a tough job and not all of them are tw@ts....just some0 -
Morning from the front line,
Well i cant tell you too much from last night but i can tell you this, its gone from being opertunists, to very organised diversional tactics.
There are shopping centres that are now closed and are being either boarded up or baracaded in! there's talk of it coming further out tonight to the retail parks and the nice towns of essex.
If we dont see the water cannons or tear gas etc tonight it will get worse.
I have got my work head on and my family head on, i need to protect my family by any means nessarsary but watching the news and events with my work head on. We have had security bulitins and yesterday we had tip off's to where it was going to happen, it was organised enough to happen in the order that was sent to us :shock: Not had anythig yet this afternoon but will try and post up later on if i know anything.
PS
Police have their hands tied by the Gov at the mo, but in genral they do a reasonable job.
PPS
Anyone want any trainers or TV's?

As in all walks of life, their are trades where you get bad eggs. The majority of police do a sterling job.
If the police were bike shops, then you'd be worried ;-)0 -
