(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); UK Riots? It isnt UK riots, it is English riots. There are no riots anywhere else in the UK but they still have to call it UK riots and not English Riots!

If this was happening in Scotland it would be Scottish Riots, not UK riots! The same goes for Wales and Northern Ireland.

Everytime it is on the news it is UK riots and its getting pretty annoying.

It isnt UK it is ENGLAND.

Yes, I'm Scottish.

:\

Meh I understand. But on the comments of a news report I read, one of the comments said exactly this:
"This is just like when Andy Murray is winning, the English want to call him "British" but if he's losing, he's "Scottish". Double standards much? Get a grip anyone who is complaining."

Why'd the riots happen in the first place?

People saw an opportunity to cause trouble, and did so.

Oh yeah, some people are crazy. So the riots still haven't ended?

They've kinda ended in London, wasnt bad yesterday, probably because it was raining all night and there were 16,000 cops and water cannons but I dont think anything was burned

But I think its still a bit hectic in Manchester and Birmingham

Think its calmed down a bit now, lots of people have been arrested and/or fined, maybe thats telling people to just stay the hell inside. Also the threats about being evicted probably affect about 90% of the people involved anyway, if you get me...

Oh, it's good that they've calmed down a bit. Those people should be deported .

Nice, another opinion just formed from one insight of a news program :y:
