Posted August 9, 2011 Sounds like it could be a joke... the furnace is burning... People said Primark and Peacocks were on fire at about 6pm but as far as I know it wasn't true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I dont know who was interviewing him but they did call him on it. I think I read a transcript. Urgh.

Posted August 9, 2011 ...Do you really want to give the pirates even more manpower? The Somali can have all the power they want, I don't plan to retardedly sail Somali waters any time soon. Walking down streets in London; that's a different matter! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 9, 2011 Forgetting for a minute just how horrible all this is, ive gotta give it to Sky News and the BBC. The coverage and footage weve seen, especially last night I think has been pretty impressive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 9, 2011 A shopping centre in Nottingham got a bit of a battering but the stores affected still opened. We got told the Primark near us was on fire but that rumour was informed as false. We've had to remix stuff at work to make it safe in case any rioters show up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
