Oh Mick McCarthy, a bit ridiculous quizzing hoodied youuths with a combined IQ of about 4, asking them about their motives. Interesting to say the least, if not a tad risky, on many fronts.

Mike McCarthy being very brave with his cameraman to get some live pics of a shop being broken into live on Sky News just now.

I'm sure Sky News will reshow it, when they've edited out the fowl language used by the masked male.

Sangat TV need to take their LIVE bug off when showing pictures that are clearly daylight.

A London resident and friend of some of the rioters, interviewed on Newsnight, has accused the BBC of misrepresenting one of the rioters by cutting his statement. Odd.

The key word is rioter. How can saying anything take away the fact that he is rioting? How ironic and moronic. These rioters can't possibly be shown in a sympathetic, positive light, and quite rightly.

Interesting debate there, have to say the 2 young guests had much better arguments.
