Danny has that deceptive subtle talent of putting the"Violence is the problem,not the solution"look on his Chevy,when all he's really interested in is who knacked who

Who did knack who,by the way? Sounds a bit nawty!

While I sympathize, Ally, I have to admit that it really tickles me when folk living and/or working in London complain about commuting and disruptions to public transport. My favourites are (i) industrial action by tube or bus drivers and (ii) the sheer annoyance when some poor unfortunate has the sheer audacity to top themselves on the Underground.

Anyway, to cheer you up - do you think perhaps this corpulent fucker ate sections of the District Line last night?

Has that big blotch on his leg been applied to conceal his incriminating Vikings tattoo, do we think?

That's probably just a rotund gentleman with a genuine beef Martin,to be fair..

With an unfortunate freaky manky calf,granted.

Is Frodo still their top boy??

the police are to blame

A measure of the "disturbing" nature of this event can be summarized thus:

i) it involved a "much loved" Premiershite club ii) the "disturbing scenes" seem to largely involve 16 stone fat ugly bastards 'dancing' on the pitch iii) the "violence" was enacted by people wearing club colours. Ugly fat people.

If this is "a throwback to the dark days of the 80s", I will happily eat my own shit and fist myself at the same time.

got home from Fratton park last night ,, where i went a little deaf on account of having john portsmouth football club Westwood right behind me,,Bell and all, to hear sky proclaiming that the violence had caste a shadow over the whole evenings events,, not at fratton they didt m8 4.1 yea ,yea ,yea ,yea.now whoes a bull in a china shop

Lots of argy bargy and 'disturbance' but no real 'violence' was there? i know there was a stabbing which course is terrible, but going off whats been shown on TV it's nowt compared to the owd days.

Sky bigging it up for viewing and papers.......

Anyhow, numpties the lot of em........just a load of Minties running around

There was more violence at the G8 London doo, but they blamed that on the Police.

So I blame the pigs for this too.

Looks like most of those wasters could hardly squeeze into there football shirts, which suggests that most had probably not been near a football ground for years.

FAT AND FORTY AND FUCKED.

remember the battle of the beanfield at stonehenge?

The Battle of the Beanfield took place over several hours on the afternoon of Saturday June 1, 1985 when Wiltshire Police prevented a vehicle convoy of several hundred new age travellers, known as the Peace Convoy, from setting up the fourteenth Stonehenge free festival at Stonehenge in Wiltshire, England after English Heritage, the custodians of the site, persuaded a High Court Judge to grant an exclusion zone of some four miles around the Stones. The incident became notorious for accusations of a police riot that were reported to have taken place.[1]

Those in the Convoy insist that, after a stand-off of several hours, police attacked their procession of vehicles by entering the field where they were being contained, methodically smashing windows, beating people on the head with truncheons, and using sledgehammers to damage the interiors of their coaches, an account supported by all the independent witnesses and upheld by the subsequent court verdicts. The Beanfield was the next field down from where the vehicles were; and when a large number of police entered the first field, many of the Convoy vehicles tried to escape by going through the Beanfield, where they were pursued and arrested by police.

At the time, the police alleged that they responded after they had earlier come under attack, being pelted with lumps of wood, stones and even petrol bombs, though they did not repeat these allegations in any of the subsequent court cases and no proof for any of them has ever come to light. Whilst the full account of events remains in dispute, a court judgement six years later found the police guilty of wrongful arrest, assault and criminal damage.

ITN reporter Kim Sabido, recorded an emotional piece-to-camera:

“ What I have seen in the last thirty minutes here in this field has been some of the most brutal police treatment of people that I've witnessed in my entire career as a journalist. The number of people who have been hit by policemen, who have been clubbed whilst holding babies in their arms in coaches around this field, is yet to be counted. There must surely be an enquiry after what has happened today.

You're a bit of a hippy on the Q-T, aren't you Mike?

........talking of Stonehenge I took the eldest there last week during holiday on the south coast.......quite a pleasent visit......strange to think that folk such as the romans would have passed the site more or less as it is today.........also visited Woodhenge just up the road and you can walk around this site.......really interesting looking out over the hills and ancient banks......there see, I can do (sub) culture.....
