    Fitzroy Thomas, a 43-year-old organic chef, was accused with his brother Ronald, 47, of smashing up a branch of the Nando's chicken restaurant chain in Clapham, south London, the Times daily reported.
    The pair pleaded not guilty in a London magistrates court and were remanded in custody, the paper said.
    Nan Asante, 19, who recently started work as a steward at an outdoor opera venue in the upmarket London district of Holland Park, reportedly pleaded not guilty to looting a supermarket in the capital.
    Another alleged rioter was a 20-year-old student at Essex University near London, Banye Kanon, according to reports, which said other suspects included a youth worker and a forklift truck driver.

    Once the heat wave subsides, then we may see rioting in the US.

  4. For those wanting to get a live feed I watched this yesterday night and it was pretty good really...and funny.

    It's a Indian (?) channel and they have hilarious adds and some of the reporters look like Gandalf but it's really good journalism that outshines the classical media by a mile.

    So much for the idea that it is black people doing the rioting.

    The same misconception was applied in the LA riots when it was really everyone, white, hispanic, black though not likely too many asians. This isn't a riot and neither was LA, this is just looting.

    Grandluxe,

    turn the question around.,,, Would they shoot you?, Would they care?, Would they burn your house down while your family is in there. Would they burn your business down?, would they care?

    Would they care?

    A 9 year old can pull a trigger and light a match. Real bullets, i wouldnt do. but water cannon and tear gas....

    you bet your ass I would be first to set them off.. 10yrs old, 20yrs, old, 60yrs old, etc.

  10. Yes, people of all origin are taking part no doubt.

    In fact from what I have seen those standing up and protecting their neighbourhoods are often collored.

    The white middle class is in the streets at noon to clean up. :D
