In the news

Police jammers? Apparently they were jamming certain frequencies in Birmingham tonight. No Blackberry service or mobile internet.

Crazy, I wasn't able to pick up any 3G for a few hours last night, over here near Tottenham, could be the reason why...

Unconfirmed reports that Camden station is on fire

Someone will be writing to the Guardian tomorrow to complain that the news is too London-centric.

"Truly extraordinary speech by fearless West Indian woman in face of #Hackney..."

It's a speech -I wouldn't say "Truly extraordinary" but anyway...

Still nothing in New Cross?

Whereabouts? From what I could see (and I cycled around the perimeter) all hostility was taking place on the high street itself, basically looting and police baiting. Residential streets around here (Peckham) seem totally unaffected. I could have stayed in and not even noticed and I live about 3 mins walk from the high street.

my mum is in the road directly oppose camberwell arts college.
she wont answer her frigging phone either and I'm not back til tomorrow. I am sure she is fine but I need to know!

Ha, i pick my moments eh!

How's things Nuknow? Has it quietened down yet at Mare Street?

Strangely quiet. Loads of police still around and a weird tension, mainly cause there's still loads of people just lurking outside.
I'm staying put. No idea about down there in H.central, but according to footage, JD is gone.

Ha! As funny as that is, don't! They'll turn on you, and if not you, other randoms.

To be fair, they have just started laying new stone footpaths across ilkley moor.. no mention from BBC or Sky.

Is Camden Station on fire?

Just stepped outside here in Ealing.. Strong burning smell, I'm about a mile from the broadway. All quiet though as far as I can see down Uxbridge rd.

still no mention of anything in Bow. Just saying...

That fire in croydon is pretty sickening, fuck it this is all sickening.

potatoes are for pussies-
I've got me some burning oil and tar ready in vats on the roof, just in case.

Shooting in Chapel Town which apparently has led to some large scale disturbance... think rozzers were on with it though.

my mum is in the road directly oppose camberwell arts college.

OK, not far from me but further away from the action, she'll be fine Alex, I'm sure you'll hear from her shortly unless you catch her first :)
