    Chuch in front of my house is in danger of becoming the next target... It's mental. I can't describe it.
    If this is the closest to war I'll get I can only imagine being from somewhere in Middle East, having to dig this monstrosity for the past 10years...

  • @ Garnett - hmmm, well 90% of the rioters I saw in Peckham were young black males but then roughly 80 to 90% of the young men I see in Peckham (say when going shopping for example) are black. From travelling along Walworth Rd (although I don't live there I don't live far away) I'd say the vast majority of young men I see in that area are black. So the fact that most of the rioters both on Walworth Rd and in Peckham were black shouldn't really come as much of a surprise.

    I don't see what your point is really? I don't think you're being racist it's just the population of these areas, non? But I'm surprised you're surprised as you live there and mingle with the population on a daily basis.

    Used to live right by here. From what I can tell there's couple of hundred youf who've moved down from smithdown rd towards here on the way to L1. Doubt police will let them get anywhere near Liverpool one if they have the numbers, but up there it would have just been a normal Tuesday night.
