    Apparently the Glades is being looted. I was relying on Henry being the eyes and ears down that way. He's obviously off grabbing himself a few new cardies!

    Been out in New Eltham. Nothing unusual happening.
  • Just saw a police officer felled by a brick on tv. Poor sod. Sheild and helmet I think took the brunt of the blow but looked awful.

    whats going on in woolwich then ?
    Nothing. Lots of bullshit doing the rounds.
  • Rumoured looting in East Ham now. Looks like the scroats from my old manor didn't want tog get left out of all the 'fun'. Unbelievable scenes on my tele tonight and it's not even dark yet.

    Feel sorry for the police, a real damned if they do (go in hard), damned if they don't situation.

    It wouldnt suprise me if it spreads even further...i.e to bluewater, lakeside etc (and then to the rest of the country...its very worrying indeed. Hope everyone stays safe and if you live in an affected area, I wold probably leave if i was you. Property can repaired, humans often cant...

    Former Mayor of London Ken Livingstone says the government has failed to
    realise the level of discontent among young people who are facing a
    "bleak" future.

    Great help Ken.
    Really useful contribution, scoring pathetic political points, ignoring how long this has been brewing for

    Firstly I hope that everyone is ok and these mindless criminals get severely punished. How long until it will stop??? 
     As a 15 year old, it is hard for me to comment on the whole situation but from my view, these riots are not all in anger at the shooting. I think that the some of the youth today want to stand out as rebels. They think that doing bad stuff impresses others. Well it doesn't. Personally, I wish every criminal in the act over the past few nights gets caught and imprisoned. I don't care if these prisons get overcrowded because the idiots who commit such mindless crimes deserve to live lives in horrible, cramped places. It is an absolute disgrace.

    The least of my worries at the moment is the Cup match tomorrow night.Do you think that these idiots might cause the CAFC game tomorrow to be postponed???

    If the police seem powerless to do anything, send the army in, maybe a bit over the top, but this could escalate nationwide if they don't stop it now

    if this was football fans they would have all got a beating by now. whys this any different?
  • Surely the police won't want football crowds to deal with in London this week.  Games should be called off.

    Can see the England game being called off for starters if this continues through tomorrow.
