Two men from Cheshire have been jailed for four years each for using Facebook to incite disorder during riots in England last week.

Jordan Blackshaw, 21, of Vale Road, Marston and Perry Sutcliffe-Keenan, 22, of Richmond Avenue, Warrington, were jailed at Chester Crown Court.

Both men pleaded guilty under sections 44 and 46 of the Serious Crime Act to intentionally encouraging another to assist the commission of an indictable offence.

The Crown Prosecution Service said Blackshaw had created a Facebook event called "Smash dwn in Northwich Town", intended for the receipt of the "Mob Hill Massive Northwich Lootin'".

2. They were doing the same here back in the mid '80s

when some of our Football crews were doing the exactly the same thing just using normal telephones so I'm guessing it was already in the rule book over your side. Charges of conspiracy to cause affray or conspiracy to commit violence were used against them here then : http://www.footballnetwork.org/dev/communityfootball/violence_reduce_violence.asp
