Son home now - and friends all safe too!

I am up high on a hill and, if something goes off I would usually expect to hear lots of sirens.....absolute silence tonight. There is the odd one but that's normal. No helicopters, no sirens, no screaming/shouting. All normal here tonight.
Just googled YT for Tescos riot Hackney ...some YT on it but seemed to be mostly spectators.
In theory I am in the thick of it, in actuality, nothings going down here at all.

I'm not sure they would quality as 'Labour trolls' exactly - but you can be absolutely certain that the fans are being flamed by the same self-styled 'anarchist' agitators who helped along the 'student riots' a few month ago.

I would say that there is a connection. There was a lot of subversive stuff going on at their targets that didn't get press coverage.
In the end, they want media coverage of any sort, the more mainstream the better so could be connected and the local yoof tag along for the hit.

I was thinking about the 80's riots as they had no twitter, mobiles etc. Must have been quite an effort to sort out the rendevous and 'start' point back then.

Yes but they had the far superior Teletext .

Personally, I find it heart breaking to see old buildings being burned, that really upsets me.

I'm also scared as there don't seem to be enough police...

We are being told to stay in doors. All spectators go home. Get your kids home, clear the streets, etc

In Ealing, on twitter... attacks on the High street but mosly rumours little first person...

We need Boris to come back to be honest....

Where has he gone? He will do a good speech about it all at some point....probably bring up some classics/ancient historical references in it too. I do like Boris...sorry to confess that, but the language/analogies he uses are great sometimes.

Not that much going on in Ealing, would have heard the police sirens, eerily quiet!

Btw, on facebook some moron has set up a group to organise the Nottingham and Manchester riots, please report!

Anyways, police seem to have contained trouble in Ealing.... some arrests no serious trouble...

Rioters tried to break into the trophy cabinet at Arsenal but found it was empty....;)

Twitter has gone quiet now. There is a Police Station pretty much on Ealing High steet....

Trust me it is a little scary in London tonight - the only time I remember feeling this sad before is 7/7.

We need Boris to come back to be honest....

I'm not far ifrom you in wembley, I'm so glad that I don't live near a high street or shopping centre

Problem = scumbags.

Solution = All riot police issued following and free reign to administer as required.
