I've just spent an hour or so reading this thread and I'm so glad to hear that everyone made it though the night. Especially nuknow as it sounded like it was very hairy at not one, but several times through the night. Im shocked at what's happened and really hope that tonight we don't see a repeat of the terrible scenes across London and the UK. It's mindless and it's ruining people's lives. I'm not living in the UK at the moment but have lived in London and it saddens me to see the city I love going through this. Images like this tear me apart

People's livelihoods are being ruined because of idiots who've got nothing better to do than destroy their own communities. It's about time people took back their communities and politicians stopped blabbering bollocks and hiding behind numbers and statistics. they are so out of touch with what is happening it's not funny anymore.They need to spend more time in their constituencies and less time arguing with each other waving bloody papers in the air. It's time for some real changes and answer some hard questions about what is happening up and down the country. Disillusioned youth (who happen to be the future of the country) no jobs, generations of families who haven't worked, stopping or reducing budgets for community projects, I could go on and on and on but I think I need to stop before I go off on a massive rant. I just hope it doesn't spread across Europe and elsewhere. Stay safe everyone and stay strong.
