Shoot them with tranquiliser darts, or spray them with water and use a rather large Tazer :D

Watching the news this morning. At this point it seems people are simply taking to the towns at night to grab a free TV or laptop.

They are just looting early for Christmas. Where do we place orders? :lol:

I’d hold off buying TVs, cameras etc. on eBay for a while. Could be done for receiving.

Apparently police were parked outside Apple stores in London and Birmingham, as well in order to prevent them being looted as well.

Just avoid the ones that say still in box, slight smoke marks on box. ;)

Just been down into Orpington (SE London/Kent) and quite a few shops have closed early, especially ones that deal in PC's or phones. Some have notices in the window saying that they've been advised to close early in case there's looting later on. Bit more of a police presence in the High St than one usually sees. Apparently the same is being done in Bromley. Also, stations in areas where there might be rioting are closing early too. My sister works in London and the staff have all been allowed to go home early in case of transport disruption later.

None of this is going to help keep the economy going. :(

Camden is very quiet. The phone shops and sport shops were done last night, so hopefully it will be quiet tonight.

Spray them with dye and round them up at leisure over the next few days. If they hide away then at least they won't be on the street.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

Also less dangerous for all concerned.
