    Dogs and riot police all by yorkshire grey mcds. Apparently a lot of youths about in lewisham



    Massive exageration. In laws live in full view of the Yorkshire Grey and say there are a couple of police cars circling the area.

    oh right cause i didnt just drive past no? oh right.

    My wife is on the phone to them now and they are looking out of their living room window. Still saying that there isn't a mass gathering.

    They're marching towards Lewisham so maybe they missed them going past?

    Sidcup been sounding like a race track for the past 15mins or so. May just be someone taking advantage of empty streets though - I ain't going out there to check

    And I live there, currently no sirens as I said, unlike last night. Did not say it won't happen later.

    Yet another hard keyboard warrior - grow up.

    Loving that big Sikh fella with the sword on Sky leading his troops outside the temple. Funny how nobody has suggested that they are just there looking for a row (which they clearly aren't).

    Certainly much more calm tonight in London at least thank goodness. I suspect we are over the worst now.
    Most of the local rumours circulating seem to be much exaggerated. it's all West Midlands and Birmingham copping it now.

    CAFCKev works for the ambulance service actually.

    Not sure who that makes a retard but maybe it just shows how people misunderstand, get things wrong and inflate numbers when they get "excited".

    FFS everyone just take a breath and stop reacting like this was some stupid Hoolie lit book about "tasty geezers".

    Very true. I don't doubt that there is stuff going on in and around Eltham. It's just nowhere near the scale its being made out to be.

    The issue is that the people who started off saying they were there to protect Eltham have been moved on from the pubs and have decided to go looking for it.

    Much more likely to be a ruck than widespread looting.

    Also massive respect to the Sikh guys. If only the Eltham mob could have done it the same way.

    Was at Yorkshire Grey 10mins ago, prob 30 police linned up round the round about, I walked back from the Texco garage and saw a few hoodie scum walking up that way, no sign of the ELD I saw in the highstreet earlier. It us possible they missed one and other, that said just because I didn't see them doesn't mean that they are not there. I expect that McDs is closed. Choppers r above too, all 100%

    Please people, stop posting Rumours! Only Confirmed stuff! 
    I think people are trying their best but there seems to be so much speculation going around its hard to tell.



    They were the 'defenders of the high st' marching away from the high st towards yorkshire gray

    What was the difference then? Sorry, I wasn't in both places so don't know. 

    Or are you just making assumption based on your own prejudices?

    Excuse me? The Sikh guys appeared to be respectfully lined up outside their temple. They appeared to be in good spirits and were interacting with the locals.

    The youtube clips I have seen shown The Eltham Mob marching up and down the high street goading in much the same way, an ITV reporter has been tweeting for an hour or so warning that the Eltham group had broken up into smaller factions and were walking the streets seeking out someone to have a ruck with. Is that the right way then?
