I was thinking of buying a few hammers, axes and large wrenches for a visit to Manchester but then found rear sprockets make great throwing stars.
Really though, a lot of these rioters are just into a punch up and any excuse to do it. Such a pity ordinary people have their properties and vehicles damaged and no insurance cover for civil unrest.
Peacefull down here in Devon so far but i do notice many new people arriving in very different clothes to what we are used too. Very strange as they are walking past my house gawping into the windows.
