This has now escalated across London and even Birmingham. It seems to have been co-ordinated by the internet to "make a statement", mostly seems to be young black hoodies and gangs
It's not political though, it's young idiots using it as an excuse to loot and vandalise.It is scary. No fires near me but I have friends in Croydon. A friend and her 10 year old son got caught up in the Tottenham riot after visiting the football ground, her son was terrified and ended up in floods of tears. It makes me disgusted to be a Londoner
What the hell do these people think this will acheive?And why oh why are the police still faffing about after all these recent riots? We need water canons!

Some are saying send in the armed forces...problem with that is that most of them are currently serving elsewhere. The PM deigned to cut short his holiday and come back to try to resolve the situation...yeah, good luck with that mate.
I seriously hope all our friends on Dogsey and in London are safe and stay that way. Stay out of the way folks, stay safe *hugs*

One poor old lady woke up to find a man in black standing over her bed.....
I feel for the police too, they are just completely outnumbered. I just hope no lives are lost tonight.
