In the news

I can smell the smoke, hear the sirens and dogs, but the news seems to think nothing's going on in Tottenham tonight, they're all going on about Enfield. Anyone got any intel?

Just had a though. All these iPhones and Playstations being nicked is kinda pointless no? Don't they need to be authenticated or whatever in the sale documents. The PS will be fine if you don't go online.

All these youts in hoodies are so cliche. Why can't we have proper riot characters:

Just come from wood green ends, roads blocked, weird smell, like pesticide in the air. Saw some wild yuths, can't be sure.

saw a load of guys in hoods down one of the side streets near my house just now in islington, then a cop car speeding towards them about a minute later.

Cats are in, I've raised the drawbridge and released the pike into the moat.

Most elaborate euph ever.

Yeah the yuths I saw were all carrying sticks/foreign objects, still can't be sure.

I live in Enfield, was cycling up the high street as hundreds of kids ran towards me to rush a police van. I've been around town all night and it's fucking carnage here...Got caught up in a separate rush when the police sent dogs out – sky news are showing footage of it. Thankfully no blazes like in Tottenham (apart from Krispy Kreme, but that car park is a nest of vipers anyway so nothing of value was lost) but the rioting is so spread out the police are struggling to keep track of it. I struggle to see it getting under control while the sun's still down...

Horrible. I feel nervous in my own home. Nervous and fucking angry.

I'm surprised Xander hasn't been on to invite us to his castle. Surely a man should care for his friends

ha as if he'd protect us proles, the aristocracy look after their own

Xander is out there charging at them with his TT bike. Real life hero that bloke.

Pah, bollocks to Cameron's 'big society'

the velociraptors would smell your poverty before you got within fifty yards of the joint.

Shit! Hope you stay safe Dave. I want hourly posts/tweets to confirm you're alive.

^^^ LOL. Xander is cowering in his panic room as we speak.

This guy is apparently posing with his loot from last night...

Fuck me, PC World was getting it and this guy goes for his local Costcutter looking at some of that crap. Deserves a meaty sentence for crimes against ambition.

apparently people attacking westfield and throwing stones at cars on wood lane...

Holy shit Daveypants. What news can you give us? Sounds more fluid than last night's riots.

^^really? I live up the road from there. Haven't participated in the world for a couple of days and this is all lost on me.
