David Cameron............ "I am granting the Metropolitan Police emergency powers to use water cannons, rubber bullets and tear gas to take back control of our streets from these ponsing, stealing, parasites . In addition I am deploying the British Army as a visible presence to provide the authority that is so very lacking.". ...

.Carlsberg don't do Prime Ministers but if they did... :-)

Hopefully London will have lots of rain and keep the thugs off the street....

The grass and plants need some rain Cyns.....the council grass is looking very yellow at the moment

Oooh and the farmers need rain or else our veg price goes up!

Just watching the One Show and how heartening to see the residents of the affected areas in London and other places coming out en masse to help in a giant clean up. There they are with their brushes and shovels and binbags. Great stuff!



We are in for a dreadful day weather wise tomorrow apparently. Lots and lots of rain. Deep joy.

Oh LK that is really scary for you and your friends.

I think these hooligans give young people a bad name which is a shame when there are many more who are horrified about this behaviour. From reports I've heard the riots seem to be greed motivated.

LK I hope your shop will be OK, but at least you are safe

I hope we dont have more of this mindless stuff tonight

It is mindless greed Sylvia.

Designer glasses are sought after.

Have just heard that the friend in Catford had the whole of his shop front taken off. It is boarded up tonight and he hopes to open to open for business tomorrow.

keep safe.



It was horrid living through what happened in Vancouver .............. but I hear on our news that sane-minded Londoners (and elsewhere) are now coming out and trying to protect property.......... that's exactly what happened here.

oh lord LK


I hope that your evacuation turns out to not have been necessary.



Why on earth would opticians be a target?

My f-i-l was an optician and chemist ....... I can see where the drug store would have been attractive in this day and age, but opticians??????

this is my brothers in laws posting on FB

Seeing our first home, in Church St Croydon, going up in flames is strange feeling.


luckily they have lived in the wilds of Norfolk for over 35 years

LK - so sorry to hear about your friend's business. Our daughter said that there were twitter reports last night about B'heath, but we did wonder if it was only rumours. She also said that B'water had shut early [its our local shopping centre ] where a number of her friends work.

I am ok.
A friend's practice in Catford has been wiped out.
He and OH did their early training together and when he bought his own place he got OH to staff it for him.
Daughter is going in to Brixton to work now.
It will probably happen again tonight.
Madness.

Just dropping in for coffee, just been informed we are going to be short staffed again at worked today so I'm definitely going to need it. Deep joy, I don't think.

The rioting is scary, I hope they stop spreading. I feel for the people in those areas

Take a look at Normas link on FB.....a very brave lady speaking out

Gin,

Just spotted your comment about Mrs J causing the disturbance. Her singing is not great but I doubt that it would cause a riot.

From what I read (So believe about 50% of it) it looks like the motive appears to be linked more to boredom and greed than anything else. The mindless individuals who are perpetrating the wanton destruction of others peoples livelihoods seem more intent on acquiring items of value rather than challenging authority or fighting for a political cause. Setting fire to furniture shops and looting mobile phone shops and clothing stores is not how most revolutions begin.

Thank Sylvs. Hope the physio goes ok.


What dreadful news to wake up to. It does sound very like the scenes from Vancouver which Sylvs described.

Apparently there are men in cars driving around directing youngsters as to which areas to go to next. Organised vandalism.


Mindless. Mindless. Mindless.

Morning all....thanks for breakfast Sylv

I see the riots have spread more over night, how very frightening for the people who live there

Its also in Leeds on a small scale
