    Calm down offy.,X
    With the greatest respect Curb_it, no I wont. Muppet needs taking down a peg.
  • 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.


    What is going on? Rioting or a ruck between the EDF/police? (or both?)

    wow just a forum lads.
  • I did here some chanting in Lewisham around 18:30, although it did sound like the left wingers (who spend their weekends by boots trying to get people to sign petitions) demanding Cameron steps down than anything serious.
  • haven't seen any rioting or rucking. i'm not saying a few scuffles haven't happened earlier (as i've heard rumoured). just looks like locals being dispersed. unfortunately right passed my f***ing window.

    5 live are stressing it is not a riot. Very little disorder. Crowd dispersing.

    Yes I heard that, I just wondered if our on-the-spot reporter knew anything different.

    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.



    Self fulfilling prophecy. Enough dicks big up the situation on Twitter and Facebook , then eventually the dicks will arrive.

    Police there are saying no EDL. The chant is being used to provoke the police.

    True indeed Clem - my post was not meant to be a "told-you-so" type comment at all.

    I'd like to know why I need taking down a peg or two though and what kind of example I should be setting?

    The police appear to be making some arrests so we'll see what their motivation is for being in the area really is...
