In the news

Holy fuck Croydon.

This shit is getting terrifying.

chopper is back over peckham, twitter is getting excited too. Anyone know what is happening?

The Tesco on East Dulwich Road was looted. The yoovs walked down Lordship Lane fairly quietly. Windows are shut, road is quiet, my windows are locked.

What???

I've seen it on Facebook but not sure its true. Certainly the helicopter is near it, but than that could be hovering above the estate

Reports of jd in whitechapel just getting hit so I think they have moved that way.

Well scary, there's the retail park down that end too so I guess that's a target

Holy fuck Croydon.

This shit is getting terrifying.

Why, what's up?

Houses on fire in Croydon. Not good. people live there.

Stealing a pair of trainers or a can of baked beans, fair enough. Setting fire to stuff, not good.

You could learn a lot from us. We've been through the martial law - water cannons, batons, live rounds...

What does the second half of this post mean? Is it a punch line? Or are there really fires on BG Road?

genuine fire and genuine meter shortage but with no-where open to buy more..

The Pembury (Tavern) was within the area controlled by the police, so I very much assume it's not true.

That whole little block in Croydon is going to burn down.
