 |
|
In the past 3 days there have been over 800 people arrested as rioting has spread across London and other UK cities. Shops have been looted and burned down. Three people are being questioned for the attempted murder of a policeman.
In Birmingham 3 people were killed trying to protect their property.
Most of the rioters were young people wearing hoodies with no political motive.
Would you go on holiday to a country like that?.

Most parts of England are business as usual, Mar, but are also tarred with the same brush. 
The whole thing is a disgrace and I hope these "people" face the full force of the law. Sadly, the sentences issued so far would seem to suggest that many will get off pretty lightly.

| Come to Swanage, Dorset. One of the lowest crime rates in the UK top sats, more sun shine than any other south cost resort. Fantastic restaurants, blue flag beach, south west coast path gateway, steam railway and lots more. I lived and ran my own business in Croydon no 2 mins from reeves’ corner. Swanage is like no other sea side places I have been to we love it, come see for your self………. |

| Certainly, for a couple of days, it is a worldwide issue. Even here in the Philippines, we are concern about what's happening on London. We send our prayers for the riots to stop. London is a great country and its hard to imagine that this is what's happening on them now. |

| Looks like a combination of increased police presence and good old British rain have put a dampener on the rioters at last! |

I can understand that some people are afraid of these riots, as well it is an exception.. and want to put off the journey. But i can´t understand why airlines dont show any appreciation
and doing a cancellation for free? I think that schould be fair.. |
