Sales of one brand of baseball bat has risen by 5,149% and in Amazon’s top ten of sporting goods (I never knew one existed), different types of baseball bats accounted for seven out of ten. A fear of looters has been suggested to the increase in sales. Boris Johnson has stated he admires those who want to stand up and defend their property; reasonable force, included weapons can be used even if you are you are not actually under attack!!!! What the fuck does this mean, is Boris and the police actively encouraging people to set up vigilante groups in the name of the big society? The danger is this more or less gives a mandate to the EDL to become the self professed protectors of Eltham (SE London), using race and immigration as reasons behind the riots, perpetuating increased racial tension.
