Our London is fucked people

ftfy

Think of all the ebay bargains we're missing without all the usual competition.

The 'spok market is going to crash

I'll get the lotion

Ah fuck! Micycle folks are good people. Did not deserve that.
Actually, cycled past it this morning, but was dodging a poorly driven lorry so didn't notice.

Chopper heading south west from Walthamstow rapidly.

The usual millions of people who have been queueing for London Dungeons all day have been dispersed.

Think of all the ebay bargains we're missing without all the usual competition.

I've got my bargain for the week, which reminds me I need to sort the postage

hayes town is closed, all the shops have all the shutters up, i am on my own in the only glass fronted shop.
please send cops

I'll be out of here and able to rescue you in a couple of hours. Can you hang on that long?

Which is exactly how these 'yobs' have to live their lives every single fucking day, it's little wonder they are fucked off and ready to smash shit up. Constant fear, constant police harassment, no jobs, no freedom of movement, risk of mugging or robbery etc etc etc.

It's no surprise they are kicking off, looting and smashing the shit out of stuff. You're told that you are a mindless yob, an animal, trouble, scum often enough you act like that.

What a load of guardian reading tripe. People are over analysing this. These scum, yes SCUM are not trying to make any sort of point. Their intelligence levels would not allow it.

I grew up in this "poverty" all you middle class folks speak of, on an estate amongst thugs and thieves that would mug you for pocket change. Adult men who would rob a bike off a 7 year old etc.. This does not stop 99.99999% of everyone retaining civility, rationality and morality. No matter how poor people are or "tough" situation they are in. Remember this is the UK. No one is starving to death here. These yobs just went to rob phones and TV's.

I still live in a community full of this "poverty" you speak of. People doing endless hours for less than minimum wage (typical around here is £3-£4 an hour). Tons of illegals. Lots of plain new immigrants living crammed into tiny terraces 5 to a room. But they would all be thoroughly appalled at this looting.

Kill all these bastards and you would thoroughly improve our capital and other major cities. These are the scum that Mug people, steal bikes, sexually assault, sell drugs to kids, claim unecessary benefits for life and spend it on booze etc.

If there were more muslamists involved im sure the Daily Fail and EDL etc would put a much stronger spin on this.

rest of the forum's been dead

Best thing done to the Porn thread then. It was being murdered anyway.

Thanks all... just sent the whole office home, and told them that if it looks hairy tomorrow to work from home.

Good call, Dave.

Someone posted up a while back about something happening in Streatham.
There is nothing going on here (High Street) at the moment (3:15pm).
Traffic moving, people walking around normally.
Only difference is that a lot of the shops are closing early.
The shops looted on Sunday night are still boarded up and closed.
People are just jittery and looking to get home asap.

Have few pairs of those. £100 per tyre delivered.

dfp - you're a fucking tool.

get the fuck off my forum.

It did cross my mind last night. How it would be to have a quickie, in the middle of all the events.

The lottery is where you get treated, not IF you get treated. Which London borough doesn't have an NHS GP in it? Which A&E department won't deal with you because you are too poor?

You might be right about the why, I don't know. Why aren't more people rioting though if it's really a case of widening wealth gap? Why haven't I seen a single placard with a reason or even a call to arms. To me it's just appearing as smash and grab from people who think they can get away with it due to being shielded by a mob that once might have had a reason to riot.

I repeatedly got turned away from all the GPs in my catchment area (this was about 15 years ago, around the time of the last recession), because they were full, and had to prioritize children and the elderly. A lot of people are not getting hospital care early enough for it to make a difference (e.g. acute stroke intervention). It was only when a new surgery was finally built that I managed to get signed up. Now there's the threat of surgery closures again. The NHS is being privatised by stealth, which doesn't bode well for lower income people.

More people will riot if some of the proposed Tory policies are implemented. Everyone has a breaking point. I've no sympathy for the orchestrated smash and grabbers at large right now, but something's fucked up if the 'hangers on' are happy to follow the lead of the gang-bangers rather than responsible community members.

Yeah mass murder would be great for a city. Moron.

Best thing done to the Porn thread then. It was being murdered anyway.

has it been looted?

Greenwich is fine.
Businesses are going hurricane style and boarding up their windows.

No sign of PoPo, no sign of any kind of mob, angry or otherwise.

One smashed window on Trafalgar Rd (co-op).

Twitter chats utter balls.

My office located in Camden has just sent around an e-mail saying doors will be locked at 7pm. Seems like things aren't so bad here that they will send us home early.

Mosdef..... But more worried for Mrs brave who's on her Colonago M10 as she was going to race tonight.

Yeah, trudat Mal's way out west and has to come back through "leafy and affluent" Ealing to get home.

Plus des bobards, les gosses, svp.

p'tits cons.

New level of idiocy. The reason I can tell you are full of shit is that, were you correct about these people, your clear level of intelligence would mean you'd be out there on the streets with them. Stealing all the homoeopathic goods your can get you hands on.

dfp - you're a fucking tool.

I accept this analysis if you feel it is so.

Remember I am talking about all the people looting, mugging, destroying peoples homes and public services like buses. Ill stick to my guns here. None of them are making a political comment.

shall we agree to keep the information real. no more false jokey announcements on this thread? I'm trying to find out what is going on so i can guide a friend home to brixton safely and I'm sure as the night wears on many of us will be doing the same. I'm actually using this thread as a way of keeping abreast of the situation. Some levity would be appreciated though. Stay safe
