    Reverbe -where is your flatmate, can he meet you as it would be good to stick together ? Not sure what to say to reassure you but will try my best . The Local Authority will have a duty to provide temp. accomm of some sort is that who is coming at 4?

    Ok well Im guessing there are two entry doors and the one onto the street will be security locked which will give you time. Make an escape plan with the emergency exits so you can use the fire escapes etc. Have your mobile charged and with you at all times even if you go to the toilet. There is a thread about what you should have in your bag - OS riots just up from this thread. Stay calm and practice 6/9 breathing or whatever you can manage. Breathe in for less time than you breathe out. Instantly calms you.
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

    Reverbe- To try and reassure you there will be an extra 10, 000 police in London tonight. They won't on the back foot as they were last night. Molly 41 has offered some wise advice.
