    The looting doesn't bother me as much as the fires. Took them years to fix the damage after the Ealing bombings...

    I hope they lock people up for the fires, they are going to kill an old person soon :(

    As far as I know its quiet at the moment, I don't think they would be silly enough to try anything on Wednesday with possible 80,000 football fans in the area :)

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

    .......it's like a summer play scheme....come end september all will go quiet as the organisers prep to go back to college/uni leaving the 'followers' behind in the communities that they helped trash.

    Well yes, we have JDSports I think, hoodies need to get their clothes changed (there's a leaflet going in E London how to avoid getting nicked by the Feds - really), there's Argos, Comet.... I think the police got it contained pretty sharpish.

    There's a great video of a woman telling it as it is in Hackney:
