This thread is still headed 'Breaking News: Riots in London' There have been no riots in London for several days now, thank heavens.
That didn't stop NBC Nightly News yesterday showing the tape of Holloway from Saturday last week as well as the brooms effort 2 days ago. News? Do Mr & Mrs Peoria and the kids think that the riots are still going on?
Oh, no. Brian Williams introduced the 'report' with the news that a retired US policeman would be working with call-me-Dave to sort things out. So that's all right, then.

Sure, the mayor of London - bonkers Boris - is an apologist for the Government, even though he apparently has issues with call-me-Dave.

Just like they were responsible for the US crisis and those in Europe and elsewhere? There was an international crisis, doncha know. But then we're all in this together according to the ConDemolition Squad. Funny, you don't hear them saying that these days.

Oh dear. Heading towards OMNI/PR territory, I feel.

No, it doesn't. In any case, hypothecation is not part of our system. If it was, I'd be very rich.
So many non-sequiturs cropping up in this thread. I wasn't at Oxford, yet somehow I do know about the illegal activities of members of the Bullingdon Club. Why mention the leader of the opposition at Oxford, was he a member of the Bullingdon Club too?
I wasn't there so it didn't happen. Or not. Etc etc. [Contd in OMNI/PR p.94]
