Might be time to get out of there.

As a community we have loads of growing up to do.

I just watched an extraordinary scene in Catford, maybe half a mile from the main trouble. With the police occupied a small group of young men decided to kick down the door of a Halfords store, in full view of the busy South Circular road. As they tried and tried - the shutters were tough - a crowd formed, and cars stopped. One young woman leaned out of her car, laughing: "Satnav! I want a satnav!" she yelled at them.

Eventually - maybe 20 minutes later - riot police with dogs arrived and the slower-running looters (some people did carry off goods) were caught.

nuknow, you got any sort of fire extinguisher?

Marshal law?

Kit Malthouse is an absolute idiot. Advice included: "If you're on the street watching this, get inside" and "call your children."

fuck man. good luck.

seems to have blown over here. never got that close, they were just streaming past on their way to a trouble spot (walworth road)

it's martial law, not marshal law by the way everyone. as you were...

People keep calling it 'marshall law' and I swear to fuck I hadn't even noticed it was wrong in all the excitement :(

I cannot believe the state of Croydon, what an unbelievable shame.

Stay put for now and make sure you know how to get the fuck out when you need to. Anyone fucked over off here will be looked after.

pack your best shit up and stash it somewhere, have a bag with essentials ready to go if you need to. turn the lights off and watch out the window. put a hoody on if you have to go out

If not run out and rob yourself one.
