Seems that all the people who were in the middle have stopped posting. Possible dispersal round side streets and potential spreading? I.e no middle anymore? Anyone?

I think they're going with "stopped in a minicab, there was a shootout which he (Mark Duggan) started, he was shot twice in the face". There's a nice little detail about some copper having been shot but his radio stopped the bullet.

My daughter and her boyfriend have just walked back home (from Tottenham Stn to their home just past the Hale) and she was really shocked... and she's been on a riot or two!! She said it was shocking and scary.

What's the area round there like geographically - side streets or just big main roads? Easy to get to on foot? Residential bits or pretty much all commercial?

"David Lammy, Labour MP for Tottenham, said: "I am shocked and deeply worried by this news. There is now a mood of anxiety in the local community but everyone must remain calm. It is encouraging that the Independent Police Complaints Commission has immediately taken over the investigation. There is a need to clarify the facts and to move quickly to allay fears.""

Fuck off Lammy. Really. Useless New Labour tosspot.

Lots of side streets... and weird dead ends/one way streets and stuff... probably quite hard for the police to control.
Also, she said that it's not just the area that you can see on the TV (obviously I guess) but she said that it seemed that many areas are involved.

Depends on the area, it's a little mixed. (I used to live round there.) There are quite large industrial estates around Tottenham Hale but a lot of the area is urban residential, estates and streets.

Hardly getting over it.

Who is the top London plod right now then?

Like a boss.
Sounds like it's gonna be an all nighter.
Not that many side streets right by the police station:

I think (BBC news) the deputy is standing in at the moment.

Nah, really not posh round there. There's a bit of an interface with Islington (comedy postcode shenanigans with estate agents ensue) but outside of that small area, no.

A squad of pods moving out of the area surrounding three fire persons...
