Mrs shut her resturant early picked her up at Blackheath Station-------------unless you have to go to work tonite stay in doors. There are soem total nutcases about.Two groups in Blackheath village --one looks like its the locals standing outside an offy all in there40z no hoodys up the road a small group of scum bags in hoodys.
Had a callwhile i was waiting from a mate in Woolwich to tell me the Witherspoons was burning and his wifes shop (a chemist) has been smashed up.He said he didnt see ANY Old bill.
On way back 3 cars full of ? flashed past me wrong side of the road and turned off heading towards Charlton.
If we dont defend our selves then who will ? the Met ? the oooo sooo PC Politicos ? these rioting scum give it huge about RESPECT and COMUNITY but have no idea what either word means.
Poor quality video that shows what is happening in North Bromley. Heavy police presence, not sure whether there is looting but NO fires...
Thanks Dan
Not my video! I am tucked away safely in my room! But I will keep looking online. A lot of uncertainty surrounding the area but @legaladdick above has a good amount of information.
redm, i wouldn't worry about new eltham and sidcup. Think all the troubles have largely been elsewhere. It will settle down in the suburban areas now the later it gets. Might not be the same story in some of the inner london places though.
Yeah @AFKA sure you are right but someone posted about sirens in New Eltham etc.....finally managed to contact most of my family...all are safe...but sister in Mottingham is not overly happy about the situation....will stay with this for another hour or so on TV and follow what is happening on here.
Mmmmmm, time to add 'Build a Bonfire' to the list of songs I don't want to hear at a football match.
Stay safe everyone, London has suffered worse things in its history, I'm slightly reassured by the fact that it will take more than a few hundred rioters to destroy the love that so many of us have for London. Night all.
Darcus Howe no spouting absolute bollocks on newsnight. The same block who saw racism in an NFFC flag when forest where playing at the Valley. If we are taking fruitcakes like this seriously then we really are in trouble,
I cannot believe the total and utter shite that I am hearing from Red Ken. These 'people' are not disaffected youths rioting over their student grant being cut ken they are a symptom of the lawlessness you and your like have allowed to develop.

That was me mate. Loads of sirens about an hour or so ago and a helicopter above what looked like Eltham, but haven't heard anything for a while now.
Over on the Guardian website, they are ecstatic with joy that the kids are fighting back at the nasty Tories for taking away their EMA. They really haven't got a bleeding clue.....

But he increased police numbers. How is that encouraging lawlessness? TBH I don't think party politics has much to offer in this situation.
Just to add to my earlier post. The police had secured the High St from Market Square to the end of the Glades but I saw a number of hoodies walking up from the direction of Bromley South towards the main precinct. Now as the shops are closed I doubt that they were going for legitimate late night shopping and I saw one outside JD Sports with a mask over his lower face (no doubt to prevent catching a chill on account of his asthma). Another was pulling one up as he passed me. What amazed me was that the buses were still running and there were a number of old people on board. No doubt rioting pensioners angry about the removal of their winter fuel payment. I just hope they get home safely (as I have done.)
All this bollocks about rising tuition fees etc. is ridiculous, there is no hidden message here, with all due respect I don't think 700 youth in Woolwich give a shit about how much University costs, they're doing it for fun, to be a hero amongst their mates, and because they have an attention span of about 10 minutes

My impression was that he was drunk.
I've seen whole documentaries where he is like that, he is totally consumed by bitterness and hatred and is probably loving seeing the destruction of Babylon. Amazing that he gets invited onto Newnight as a voice of 'the community' , no wonder the kids don't know right from wrong.
Things appear to be getting worse in Woolwich, according to the BBC.
Gilbert, it's his political opportunism that people object to. If he thinks that this criminal scum are doing it for anything other than greed and having a laugh, then he's even thicker than I thought he was....

Has any of the news channels shown any live footage for the past hour / hour and a half?
What footage would they really have other than those in the right areas on their mobiles ? This is the scary thing, because it is so widespread, only about a 20th of it is being reported.

police are being drafted into places from all areas, the sirens won't indicate the problem is there in these instances.
Sky reporter reporting it's going off in Camden now. 'Christ sake is there nowhere up there tonight that's safe?
Keep yourself and your families safe and tight Lifers please.
