Bag's Rants

Anarchy in the UK. The first bubble.

The hot topic at the moment is the unrest in Birmingham. Read more here. It's about 100 miles from me.

Seems that one man was killed, which doesn't sound like much but what was significant is there were a few shots fired. Two people were shot, one a copper. I appears he was shot with a BB gun. There were several arrests.

The trigger appears to be the accusation that a young girl was raped. No crime has been reported though.

This area is one of the areas which has been predicted as an area of high tension. It looks like a few people got involved with the intention of causing trouble and came tooled up. I think this will be the future for areas of high tension. A trigger, a disruption and a few arrests. With a few people getting killed each time. In the UK we are a bit more reserved and so it is unlikely we will have a full scale riot at this stage.

I wonder if this group is one of those who feel safer under Bliars draconian laws. Perhaps not.
