What bit can't you understand?

It's a call from the Sikh community to their people telling them to be ready to protect their religious buildings.

The circular text is a call to all the rioters in certain areas of West London (Acton, Northolt, Greenford, Ruislip etc) to loot the jewellers located on the main street in Southall (an Asian area with a large number of Sikhs).

I live in this area. Tonight feels like a tipping point to me. If the Police can't get a handle on things tonight (and there most definitely WILL be more trouble tonight) then citizens are going to start to take matters into their own hands.

Good luck dude...Hope things calm down the not understanding bit was just a way of saying im not familiar with the lingo but i got the big picture.

Cheers.

Thanks mate. To be fair, you'd have to have a bit of local knowledge to understand the message.

Let's see what happens. In any other country the Police would have already nipped this in the bud with water cannons and CS gas. Let's see if the government have the balls to do what's required shall we...

... Or just trying to remind us that one man's protester is another man's rioter.

[Not that I agree with the comparison though! There's a difference between protesting at massive electoral fraud (Iran) and general dissatisfaction and wanton looting (London). But I can see how the likes of Iran, Syria and Libya will make mileage out of this ...]

Exactly. All always. Context, perspective and point of view is everything. However, these guys aren't protesting about anything. They are just looters. Nothing more. Nothing less.

I tell you what would stop this in a second. If it was pissing with rain. Warm and sunny out there this evening. Twenty quid says they'd all be home watching their brand new nicked tellies if the British summer lived up it's usual form.
 
Just remembered my use of slang is terrible and this site has an international audience.

"Twenty quid says they'd all be home watching their brand new nicked tellies if the British summer lived up it's usual form."

translates as

"I bet twenty pounds they'd all be at home watching their stolen televisions..."
