Riot in Tottenham

Sounds like it's kicking off again a bit. As the sun goes down I reckon it'll get worse. Reports of stuff happening in Birmingham now, and maybe even Leeds.

The media love a good sh*t storm though.

 

absolute disgrace........

 

However it's just started to rain here in South London, hooray!

Might put some fires out.

 

This leaflet being handed round apparently

 

Interesting how all the riots are in black, and asian ares of london..

 

Well, the poorest areas

 

Not likely to kick off in Kensington though is it?

 

Time for parents to get involved and keep their kids home tonight.

 

Fires all over Croydon now. Also reports of trouble in Ilford.

 

so birmingham are now rioting, apparently the aston villa club shop in the high street is on fire.

 

Massive fire in croyden.

Nothing seems to be being reported in Harrow.

 

Of course they won't. None will get caught, maybe a handful. PM will say how awful it is but fail to actually action anything major. Expecting usual soundbites from Cameron

 

At least they've stopped talking about the phone hacking scandal.

 

Jackie Smith has nothing to do with the present government. Do you mean Teresa May?

 

He's coming home now.

 

and bbc news made it sound like we were interrupting his beloved holiday...

 

Where does all this end? There aren't enough police to prevent this. Fires are burning out of control. What will it take to stop it? A death? As long as people have a free run in the streets to do what **** they want then they'll keep going.

 

if a "rioter" or "youth" died, all that would happen is these ******s would blame the police and it would just get worse.

 

the train station has been closed as a precaution.

 

Frankly I would be amazed if no one dies tonight.

 

It's not as though they're burning down anything of major significance, like a Gov building or a national power grid. It's their own neighbourhood.

 

Do the Met Police have the numbers to put a riot of this size down?

 

After seeing the footage of the fires in Croydon I agree.

 

Clapham has been attacked.

 

Nope, nor do they really have the desire to at the moment. They always get negative press for over-reacting to demonstrations that turn to mini-riots so the upper echelons made measures to restrict activity against Demos. As a result, they've stood back through a lot of this.

Aren't the Police getting major cuts too? As with everything else

 

Rumours now that riots in Harrow will start either at 10pm or Midnight, but then again, they're rumours.

 

according to a mate, she has had her BBM shut down and most communications (3G) in london may be shut down for the rest of the night.

 

It's time to stop mucking about and get the army involved. Obviously there aren't enough police to cover all this.
