Makes me laugh all these people starting Facebook groups or e-petitions that can't spell.

Ok the odd typo is fair enough, sure i've made enough but loose instead of lose is just stupidity.

I broke through a police cordon in Stafford town centre tonight - they had me outnumbered by four to one - only to discover that they had tek-monkey kettled in the PandA House - so I had a pie and went on my way....

Locals are saying two men were killed on the Dudley Road after being struck by a motor vehicle during rioting

All details very much unconfirmed and should be regarded as hearsay for now

Police have begun a murder inquiry after two pedestrians were run over and killed by a driver in Birmingham.

A third man is in a critical condition after incident, at about 01:15 BST on the Dudley Road in Winson Green.

Police have arrested a man and a vehicle has been recovered.

The casualties were taken to the nearby City Hospital where a large crowd has gathered. It is not yet known if the deaths are linked to overnight rioting in the area.

Police in riot gear have been blocking the hospital's main entrance.

Members of the Asian community have described the incident as a hit-and-run.

A spokesman for West Midlands Police said: "Two men have died following a road traffic collision in the Winson Green area of Birmingham which detectives are treating as murder.

"Three men were taken to hospital where two subsequently died from their injuries. A third male remains in a critical condition.

"West Midlands Police have launched a murder inquiry, arrested one man in connection with the incident and recovered a vehicle from near the scene which will be examined by forensics experts."

Officers have appealed for witnesses or anyone with information to come forward.

Third guy now sadly died. Reports suggest that the victims were not involved in any illegal activities but were on their way home from their local mosque after celebrating the end of Ramadam.
Tragic.
