It's Miss Selfridge - it doesn't have 's' on the end like its estranged parent.<br /><br />Kro Piccadilly also had their cake fridge broken, so when I went in on Thursday they had a limited selection of only two types! That and the (unsurprising) cancellation of the usual Tuesday night Arndale Sweatshop run were the main points of "distress" to me, although I do think the thousands of minor inconveniences add up and shouldn't be ignored.<br /><br />I remember thinking as I cycled round the following day how many large glazed shop-fronts there actually are, and what a small percentage were damaged.<br /><br />And @Miss Kitty, the guy in the picture is they guy who did it - watch the video - but he isn't the guy they mistakenly arrested.Timnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8919432872771641105.post-70936873833535911992011-08-20T18:25:03.664+01:002011-08-20T18:25:03.664+01:00The "scumbag" you show who allegedly set...The "scumbag" you show who allegedly set fire to Miss Selfridges in Manchester has been released without charge after the police checked video footage and found it was an older and scumbaggier man who actually did the crime.Hello Kittynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8919432872771641105.post-12300201377146684612011-08-11T18:17:02.362+01:002011-08-11T18:17:02.362+01:00Dear Mr C
Further to my recent comment on the app...Dear Mr C<br /><br />Further to my recent comment on the appropriate treatment of these hoodlums (which I notice you are yet to publish), I would like to add that when they have been shot with plastic bullets and then hosed down with freezing high pressure water for good effect, they should be put in stocks, birched to within an inch of thier miserable lives and then made to do hard labour with the key thrown away. And they should be castrated as well and not any of this namby pamby chemical malarkey. Chop the bloody knackers of them and don't bother with any anesthetic. Of course if we had National Service none of this would ever had happened. Terrible state of affairs, bloody terrible.<br /><br />I trust we see are singing from the same hymn sheet here?<br /><br />Yours (disgusted of Prestwich)MiddleAgeCyclisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03873996681529127207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8919432872771641105.post-22382105403099935012011-08-10T20:11:21.940+01:002011-08-10T20:11:21.940+01:00Not nice to see is it?
Agree with what you saying...Not nice to see is it?<br /><br />Agree with what you saying up to a point LC, and you are quite right that these are our own people, but what they are doing is horrible. I don't wish ill treatment of anyone but am comfortable with thinking that some of them need more than a hug ;>D<br /><br />(And wondering how many of our tough talking politicians who've been grabbing airtime over the last few days to criticise the rioters have flawless records with regards to expenses...what a funny old world we're living in at the moment lol)<br /><br />Feel sorry for H.Pollock. We got our wedding rings from there, a nice guy.Isla...https://www.blogger.com/profile/09569097700652272494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8919432872771641105.post-66669479852237653502011-08-10T16:08:50.284+01:002011-08-10T16:08:50.284+01:00I agree LC and said as much on my facebook, that p...I agree LC and said as much on my facebook, that people seem to think all the looters have no possible connection to them when as is being seen in London recently it's not true, with school teachers and older men even having been found to have had involvement. Also all those who turned out merely to watch and enjoy the spectacle to be honest were part of the problem. <br /><br />Sure if I'd been nearby I may have taken a snap or two from my apartment building window, but you see in the footage some people just milling about taking pics with their cameras and have a good old time taking in the sights.muldydoonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14683624558130148974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8919432872771641105.post-46343866650872597312011-08-10T10:23:01.650+01:002011-08-10T10:23:01.650+01:00Thank you for this post.

Yet, I am feeling incredibly low by it all, seeing people being so detached with society, so ignorant of the consequences of their actions to think they could do this and I am also sickened and fed up with our society that has been drumming consumerism principles for the last 20 years. Looters may have not been political, but the root of the problem IS political and we can't ignore that. <br /><br />I was really shocked last night and saddened to read so many tweets of people who talked about the looters like as if they were alien beings, and not connecting that they are the dark and ugly face of our own communities, our own people.<br /><br />I have been reading this really interesting article:<br /><br />http://www.social-europe.eu/2011/08/the-london-riots-on-consumerism-coming-home-to-roost/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
