It's great to have the Tories back in power, I do like a good riot.

http://www.telegraph....ing-Bristol-riot.html

Apparently 160 police officers turned up to one House, it was a hot night, there was a load of cobbles, and one thing led to another. They trashed tHe local Tesco, so the night wasn't a total waste of time.

Where should the next riot kick off?

where does it say that this was a government-sanctioned police action?

I thought they were cutting police numbers. 160 to arrest 4 people - sounds like serious overmanning.

We'll not mention the

Oldham, riot

Or the Harehills riot

Or even the Bradford riot

that took place in May, June and July 2001 respectively all under a Labour government,
looks like the protesters at stokes croft have achieved their objective.

despite governments of either colour always saying they wouldn't bow to this type of direct action.....
