Sorry, I meant on the whole 'we won't use water cannons, etc' part.

Aye, I know.
Tbh, I'm just frustrated that there's so little the police can do in these circumstances, even with the amount of shit being thrown at them, all they can do is attempt to contain.

That's a relief then, I was expecting him to be with the looters, reliving his Bullingdon Club days...

On a side note I find it odd to be part of the Decent law-abiding majority for once...
