I am saddened to see the riots that have broken out in England. The amount of damage it has caused is awful and my heart goes out to all people who have been effected by people causing mayhem. I understand why it started in the first place but it has clearly gotten out of control.
To start from the beginning, it all started with a protest over a man being shot by a police officer. People were angry and held a protest. It seems to have been taken over by, what I can only describe as ,an anarchist mob who are happy to inflict great damage to communities and ordinary people, using it as an opportunity to steal.
It started out in Tottenham in London. It has now spread to other parts of London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Nottingham, Newcastle and other places in England. It is spreading fast and I fear that it is getting more and more out of control as time goes on.
The question I have been asking myself is will it spread to Scotland? I honestly doubt it. I don't think that people are in that kind of mentality in Scotland. Obviously I can't be certan but it just seems unlikely.
What can the UK Government do to get the situation under control? will the army be sent in? Maybe, if it keeps going the way it is I don't think we should rule it out or be surprised if they do become involved over the next couple of days if things don't calm down.
