Gewoon effe een beetje objectieve en niet racistische beschaving in the Guardian:
Three district judges sat in Courts 16, 17 and 18 from about 9pm onwards last night in a bid to deal with 117 defendants in custody.
Matters were being processed in batches of three defendants being brought up from the cells but progress was slow with only six cases held in Court 16 within two hours.
One case dealt with was a 16-year-old boy who admitted trespassing Swarowski jewellers in Manchester city centre with a view to steal. His mother was in court to hear the teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was caught as he attempted to flee the shop.
Officers on patrol in the area at about 8pm saw the front window smashed and groups of people were running into the shop masked and unmasked.
The youth was apprehended and detained in a storeroom.
It emerged he had decided to come into the centre after he received a BlackBerry message saying "come to town".
1.28am: There were no reported incidents of public disorder in Liverpool on Wednesday but there were a small number of arrests following stop and searches of youths, according to Merseyside Police.
Fifteen men have already appeared before magistrates in connection with the outbreaks of disorder, PA reports.
A total of 25 men and youths aged between 15 and 42 have been charged with an offence. Of those, 22 have been charged with breach of the peace, one has been charged with section five public order, another has been charged with possession of a controlled drug and another with theft.
A police spokesman said two others have been released on bail pending further inquiries, Nineteen people remain in custody - including two women - and two have received fines.
1.41am: All along the Ring Road around Birmingham city centre this morning there are police checkpoints blocking routes into the central shopping zone, Henry McDonald writes.
At least six entry points into the city centre are blocked by traffic cones and a police vehicle as the West Midlands force seeks to prevent any repetition of the damage and looting of previous nights.
1.49am: We're closing this blog but live coverage of the unrest and its aftermath will continue later this morning.
In the meantime, here's a round-up of tonight's main developments:
• London and other major cities, including Liverpool, Birmingham and Manchester, saw no repeat of the mass disorder seen on previous nights. There were a few minor skirmishes but overall the situation across England was much calmer.
• Police have been deployed in force in major cities across England. There were 6,000 police officers deployed in Birmingham.
• Father of a man killed on Tuesday night in Birmingham appealed for calm at a vigil in the city.
• There were brief clashes between police and EDL supporters in Eltham, south-east London.
• Special court hearings have been held in cities affected by disorder with several people arrested over the riots and looting now convicted, including an 11-year-old boy.

Ook journalistiek gezien gewoon een kwestie van Britse en West-Europese beschaving, objectief verslag doen, zonder labelen.
Beschaving en objectief sociaal gevoel zijn sterker dan welke plunderzucht dan ook.
