    anyone know what eltham high street is like tonight?
  • bucksheebuckshee
    unfortunately what went on in Eltham was the lesser of two evils.

    @stop shouting - i know the ones going to lewisham were looking for a row cos i know who it was!!!
  • O-Randy-HuntO-Randy-Hunt
    Stop shouting.

    I'm not going to carry on but use your head mate. If it's going to kick off down your street and locals are going to protect then fair enough get involved. I probably would if it was down my way and all the locals were gathering. When someone comes from bermondsey to protect eltham they are only turning up for 1 thing. I live bexleyheath way but I'm not going to be going to lewisham, eltham, hackney etc

    That depends. They may live in Bermondsey but come from Eltham, work in Eltham or have family or friends in Eltham. I would rather protect Bexley, where I was born, than the town in which I live now.

    True Jimmy. Fair point.

    But the 150 odd marching down to lewisham from eltham. I'm not so sure.

  • ValleyGaryValleyGary
    i think the police in eltham are just trying to get everyone off the streets now. no matter what there reason for being there.

    so many police in eltham from what i can see on sky news. no violence tho.
  • Rudders22Rudders22
    looks like they are moving down from the bingo hall downwards.. can see the helicopter from house.......
  • Clem_SnideClem_Snide
    Looks to me like they are breaking up the "defenders". No sign of running battles. Loads of police and not alot else.

    Where have the EDL come from? 
    Heard they were handing out leaflets at the Den Bosch game and now they are around in Eltham.

    Hadn't heard of them before the leaflet hand out.

    Oh dear. Kind of pissings on my previous argument.
  • RedmidlandRedmidland
    all seems to have calmed down again.....hot air by the sounds of it and a few bottles thrown but totally outnumbered by the police..people dispersing according to sky.
  • paulbaconsarniepaulbaconsarnie

    didn't even realise it was happening until flicked channel and my place was on sky news.

    all i've seen is loads of riot police moving people on.

  • WSSWSS
    Oh come on Offy. If you didn't think a ruck was going to happen one way or another then I suppose ignorance is bliss.

    I agree totally with smashing up some looters and rowdy youth who are threatening innocents, but this could be seen a mile off.

    Who you calling ignorant?
  • WSSWSS
    And I know a lot of people are there with the sole purpose of community and protection. Yet again though, the mindless few spoil it for others, these incidents do attract a fair few rent-a-mobs.

    Well done to those there with the best intentions at heart.
  • WSSWSS
