No strong violence, no gore, no reason for this to be on spankwire.

Wow. The brits know how to have a good old riot protest why dont the yanks?

This was just over a poll tax, imagine if THEIR leader had stolen 2 elections in a row.

Take a page from the brits, americans. Learn to defend your "Democracy."

We won't be seeing anything like this again until the facist laws in the US & UK are repealed (don't be holding your breath). It's functionally illegal to protest in any big way now, and the cops use much stronger force than they have for decades now. It's -gasp- almost terrorism you know. Civil disobedience is a dirty dirty thing. We can't have that!

And in the very near future we will see the deployment of the Active Denial Technology 95-GHz pain beam weapons, although we already have the sound wave ones in the field. Just try to fight them, no matter how badly fucked you're getting, how angry you are, you still lose. Second amendment anyone?

They don't want to know what we think, they don't care. WE ARE THE ENEMY. WE ARE THE THREAT TO NATIONAL SECURITY. WE WILL OBEY OUR MASTERS AND OWNERS.

Sad, really.

That was pretty stupid, to walk into the road just when a stampede of police horses approach. She got what she deserved.

Those hippies / anti-globalization bastards annoy the shit of me. They don't give a damn about the poll tax - they would complain about anything just for an excuse to march. The police should have mowed them down with machine guns.

Gayboy, those are the exact words i thought would come out of your mouth.

Yeah we would be fucking rioting here, but our pigs use GUNS.

to bad the bobbys there are total pussys without machine guns, i mean they are stupid pawns but they might be also still be humans across the pond.

Everyone thats a cop here is TENNESSEE was either a bully in school, or was a little bitch that got his ass kicked like gayboy. They are ignorant assholes for a good reason, because thats the kind of person that raised them.

Type in Cookeville cop shoots pitbull in google or something, or look for the most recent account of like 15 pigs here in high positions that were running drugs, laundering money, and selling gun TO FUCKING CHICAGO.

im just saying, gayboy is gay, thats all.

Gayboy your a posterchild for fucktardness...

Its that right to protest that has made both countrys great to some extent... I praise them for standing up for their beliefs to protect themselves.. and by that i mean to protest being raped by their government.
If only we did this more now days to instead of just complaining about it to ourselves and others, we might see some type of change. But it would take ALL OF US!!!!!!.... Thats just one of the many problems.

Jimwillie and samsonl310 are fcuking idiots. Tax increases are a fact of life (and more so in a strongly socialist country like England). The bastards rioting will next be marching for improved health care and free education. Where the fcuk do they think the money is coming from??????????????

PS - I have no problem with people marching for genuine causes like against the "war on terror" etc. But tax increases??? and rioting over it???? Fuck Off...

gayboy, please do not speak about things you have not at least taken a cursorary glance at wikipedia about.

First of all Britain (England is not technically a country) is not a strongly socialist country, in about any sense. The Labour party, supposedly the main democratic socialist party, is simply not socialist, and has continued the 80's reforms of most industries being privatised.

Secondly, these riots werent against taxes exactly, but against changes in the council taxes which would be grossly unfair to anyone working class or with children, since it charged the same per person. These taxes still exist, but have been changed so they are now based on house price. Not completely fair, but better than the poll tax.

In addition, these taxes did not go to fund the NHS or Schools. They went to local authorities.
