Boris Johnson's statement: "I am not going to come back [from holidays] at the moment because I have complete confidence in the police and I think that they are doing a very very good job."
Can you imagine how the right-wingers - fuelled by The Sun and Daily Mail - would be foaming at the mouth if Ken Livingstone stayed on holiday during the worst public order debacle in London for 20 years?
Of course, golden boy Boris will get away with it once again and the proles won't have a word said against him, he has a wonderful sense of humour you know.
The Police knew about this much earlier today and did not take it serious enough. Scum from all over London are now travelling over here to join in - there's nothing stopping them. FFS get the army in and let them deal with it, as the Police clearly can't. I have never seen anything like it before and I have seen some proper shit.
NLA - theres's now confrontations between residents and rioters in Willow Road, just off Southbury Rd. Police nowhere to be seen - my mate lives down there. This is bad.
When the police have no vehicles left, perhaps they could utilise Boris's bikes.
Every town centre is riddled with CCTV. Every magistrates court should be full to capacity for the forthcoming weeks after this excuse for blatant robbery.
The government need to grow some bollocks and get a grip with what is happening in modern day society.
This is just a tiny minority of youths right now, and look at the problems the police have with dealing with them. Now imagine that most of them get away scott free, and other youths across London and maybe even the rest of the UK take notice, that if there is enough of you in the riot chances are you won't get caught. Riots will become commonplace if there isn't a huge statement made in the next couple of days
Just went out to survey the damage gangs of 20 30 young black males, faces masked up still all over the place i mustve gone past 30 or 40 such gangs, tescos ponders end looks like it has been donew OB in control down there now, Enfield town closed totally got about 30 or 40 youths at the bottom of my road all the residents sticking together along here could be a long night, ob just pulled up
Its at the far end near southbury road near the cinema thats where the gangs of youth were just now , if the old bill get this wrong it will be like a tinder box
Appears that the scum have dissipated or are re-grouping to go somewhere else. Now been a stabbing in Edmonton - hopefully a Turkish shopkeeper is protecting his store against the vermin.
still see no justification for looting and vandalising random areas of North London. It is utterly shameful, and all those involved should be arrested and imprisoned. Such behaviour should not be tolerated in our country. I am all for peaceful protesting, but this is just ridiculous, illegal, and moronic.
Good luck NLA. I hope you and the other innocent people of North London stay safe through the night, and that you are afforded some justice when these idiots are banged to rights...
Not clued up with IT but surely as a lot of this has been floated and perhaps arranged on twitter and facebook etc the IT bods in the law can work out whos involved
