Personally, i'm more concerned about people getting killed and injured. Maybe if the government thought more about people's welfare, and less about goods and money, this country might be a better place to live?

TO me the worst part was the looting and it bothers me that the police chose not to treat that in a more robust way. .

They cant......they have had all the funding cut and are under manned

Not true. Met numbers are static at 32k.

And as for damned if they do etc. There is truth in that - but I'd rather the police fight crime - it's what they are there for.

It's not just Govt - that is more about the instant society that corporate Britain sells incessantly. However responsible citizens are or aren't, businesses operating for profit without a genuine sense of responsibility will always influence and create the "money is all" culture.

Might not be the met but the message is the same

One of the country's most senior counter-terrorism officers is being forced out of his job as part of government funding cuts to the police service.

The head of the West Midlands counter-terrorism unit, Detective Chief Superintendent Matt Sawers, will leave in two weeks' time as part of a £40m cut from the force's budget this year.

A source said: "He was angry and he was saddened by this, but he has come to terms with it and moved on now."

His departure comes despite a coalition pledge that frontline policing would not be affected by its 20% reduction in policing budgets and despite Home Office promises that counter-terrorism funding would be protected.

Sawers is an experienced counter-terrorism officer who has run the West Midlands unit since it was launched seven years ago. He was at its helm during one of the unit's most high-profile investigations to foil a plot to kidnap and behead a British soldier.

He also ran an operation which led to nine men being charged six months ago with conspiracy to cause explosions and engage in acts of terrorism. The trial is due later this year.

Sawers is among 175 officers made to leave the West Midlands force this year as it attempts to make budget cuts of £125m over four years.

Agree with Martin re Ken Livingstone what a stupid wank::

This is nothing to with politics now, it's just scum wanting to cause as much trouble as possible. The army need to be called in quickly, water cannon, tear gas etc. I am about 10 miles away in an ok suburb but can't believe what I am seeing tonight. What a great advert this is for the BNP which is really terrible.

The country is skint there is no money after labour and Brown blew it all. Fr Jack is right we are well and truly fu*k'd

I just pray that no innocent people get killed tonight
