There was someone on this or another thread requesting stuff for victims who had lost stuff in the looting. (I'm sure these people who have had their flats burnt out could do with anything that's going)

Changing the facts
Chancers!
I know. Fuckin pissed me off.
Next time they accuse someone of making political capital out of a situation...
Going by the amount of people walking straight past them, your opinion is/was shared quite widely (including by me). I'd be more impressed if I'd heard that they showed their faces yesterday to help at any of the clear ups or anything else like that.

Wouldn't want to taint the revolutionary zeal with anything as common as that now would we?
Fuck no - that'd mean walking the walk and maybe risking getting blisters (metaphorical or otherwise).

Good work, our intrepid reporter.
Meanwhile, in probably non riot news, police attending to something outside Renton Close.

Nothing happening in the street in front of my house.
Nothing happening in the street behind my house.
Nothing happening on the railway line near my house.
There is a plane in the sky, and some clouds.

This helicopter bollocks does my head it; the bogus flyover: 'Yes, we are here protecting you all'. Oh do fuck off, it's midnight.

Was just thinking the same thing.
There's nothing to see here. Go home helicopter
(seems to have gone now)

I don't mine it's calming drone when it's hovering in one place. It's when it starts moving/circling that I get annoyed

What's wrong with a 'calming drone'?

I couldn't figure it out, but now I've just realised I made a typo
I started saying "I don't mind. It's when it starts circling", but changed it and forgot to correct it. Teuchter's just nit-picking

Be assured that this morning I feel ashamed of my actions from last night.

That's something we all want to know more about....

How about an Aldi next to Walton Lodge Laundry? It would boost the market, be good for the barrier block & Morlands Estate and (most important on this board apparently) piss off Tescos. We don't want or need more housing on Coldharbour Lane. We need shops and employment generation. For years the council would not allow development 'cos it wasn't employment generating. Now it seems they only like housing. It might help if the councillors lived in the area they represent (shock horror).

Well I've earmarked Carpet Right for a Lidl/Aldi I'm afraid, once it's been burned down.

I don't think we do - every development is worse than its predecessor. Look at that vile monstrosity on the corner of Lilford Road. Pure concrete city. And it is supposed to be shared ownership. Aldous Huxley would call it slavery. You'd need to be stoned on soma gas to live in a place like that!

Well they closed a perfectly good one on Santley Street to turn it into loft living spaces.
