In the news

Thread merge?

Don't blame me cunty-chops, even 'riots' doesn't throw up a thread in the search box. Anyway going out now to see what's going on, a thread merge isn't really top of my agenda, terribly sorry. Will be taking my camera phone if there's any exciting footage (assuming it hasn't simmered down) I'll try to grab what I can and post.

The woman on the BBC says 'Hallfords' was looted in Brixton last night. Never heard of it!

Oh, there's a Downham in south London as well.

Downham?

That made you sit up, didn't it?

Just let them loot JD and comet, they might leave the rest.

The surface is already quite bad. I don't think it could take any more of a beating.

police are out in numbers up here in manchester just incase, its bound to happen sooner or later with the shitty areas around manchester

No way would it be appropriate for a peaceful protest but I'm not talking about that (there are many protests in Belfast and the PSNI do perfectly well there).

I still wouldn't want to see water cannons in the police force, batons are bad enough at protests.

I'm sitting here feeling like I should be out on sentry duty or something, like I could do anything if a riot rolled over my place

How long you got?

The thing that strikes me from watching all of this coverage, from everywhere, is that there don't seem to be very many 'rioters' in each individual area at all--perhaps just too spread out to tell?

that's the thing. these aren't rioters.
they don't have any direction or mutual cause.

they're assholes.

Just let them loot JD and comet, they might leave the rest.

Apparently the Met TSG base is behind Comet/PC World in Catford

I dont know. You were in the gym spotting one of the protesters, sorry, cunts on the free weights earlier.

Its just kicking off in South Bermondsey from what a friend just told me.

I'm quite curious as to what is going on but in the absence of a pub bike I am not risking getting bikejacked on my road bike!

Woman on the Beeb saying "they're all kids, 13/14 year olds"

It seems to have gone mental around hear again (Graham Road), Helicopter loudest it has been all day and was a ton of sirens not too long ago.

I have friends on Clarence road and just heard they've managed to get out of there.

Bad days.
