Not just London
Also Birmingham, Bristol and a few others.
As ever when the Torries get in power there is civil unrest.
Or maybe the Police should stop shooting people and releasing inaccurate statements about people shooting at them with imaginary guns.
Basically a guy was shot and killed in London. The police released a statment that he had a gun and had shot at an SO19 officer.
Later we hear the officer may have been shot with a police bullet and the guy had no gun in the first place.
Then there was peaceful demo in Tottenham. Later that night the riots kicked off.
Then it went viral.
Edited by Larni, : spellik and last sentance.

Yeah, the shooting (while tragic) is just the spark that lit an already very dry tinder box.

Already done that.
They already did that with that Brazilian guy gunned down on the underground a few years ago.
Then it came out that the initial ploice statement was false so I won't be suprised if the story is not confirmed for some years to come.

Re: Already done that.
Well I hope you keep safe.
I used to live in Ponders End and went to the Tottenham campus of MDX uni so I know they place a little bit.
I completly concur with you points about the austerity and it's effects on young people with fire in their belly.
Once again, riots and civil unrest seem to correlate with Torry leadership.

I think this would be incredibly difficult to produce, especially for someone without access to a lathe.
This is very common in the UK.
Not being able to by guns but being able to buy replicas and whatever conversion gear you need can be a real money spinner.
