I'm home now so Paul Lewis' twitter feed is probably the best bet. What I saw was hundreds and hundred of children spread across a very large area (by the sounds of it a much larger spread than last night rather than two intense pockets) just smashing and causing trouble. Not severe like Tottenham – nothing on fire so far, but just so so many kids. Loads of police presence but the crowds are just slipping away from them and moving on. Heard from friends who've had people smashing houses and cars in their (residential) street and threatening rape too...
