As I have said all the long, muderers, arsonists and thugs.

UK rebels to be given own embassy as humanitarian intervention looms

Given the fine example set in Libya, it follows that the rebels who expressed their grievances against the establishment last night by burning and looting half of London and other cities around the UK should swiftly be given their own embassy and declared the legitimate government of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

David Cameron and the Queen need to relinquish power immediately now that their authority to rule has been so clearly and justifiably undermined.

The actions by police to disperse these rebels also amounts to an international war crime and mandates an immediate humanitarian intervention from the NATO powers.

If Cameron and the Queen fail to step down and recognize the rebels as the legitimate government, US warplanes are on standby to enforce a “no fly zone” over Great Britain.

Reports are also circulating that NATO could target the Prime Minister and his entire family for assassination if he refuses to vacate London.

The rebels who are attempting to liberate themselves from a corrupt regime by ransacking JD Sports clothing outlets should be be embraced, commended, and supported by the international community.

This policy is a direct result of the riots that the UK endured in the 80s where the police did go in heavy handed & just look what happened, the riots immediately got worse & rioters/police/bystanders were injured & in some cases I believe some died as a result of injuries sustained.

We learnt it doesnt work, we wont make that mistake again. We will however record and document & make no mistake the FIT teams of the police will be in the thick of the rioting recording everything happening. Once the situation has calmed down and burnt itself out then the courts will get involved & those who are responsible will be brought before the courts to answer for their actions.

Recall also our base of law is different to that on the EU so all these comparisons to EU riot policing are totally worthless as here in the UK we can do what we like *unless* it is prohibited by law, whereas on the continent you cant do what you like, only what the law gives you permission to do. This is why there is a difference in policing riots/protests between the UK & the continent.
