Brixton violence and looting (7th Aug 2011)

LOL. I was by the Ritzy and gave Chuka Umunna stick about MPs looting expenses (even if it was before his time). At least he smiled when I mentioned looting MPs and bankers.

Is anything open in Brixton High Road? What about M&S?

It's taped off from KFC to Atlantic Road - the tube isn't 'closed' as best I know, it's just taped off. Some/allb usses are going through though.

Everywhere else is open as per normal. Well, apart from at the 'retail park' (Halfords and Currys).

Tube was shut earlier according to the news

I hope all these looters are happy that they can now no longer get their shopping (although I'd imagine a lot of them come from outside Brixton anyway)
 
streatham will serve you well if you can't get into the brixton one, quimmy. can you fetch us some fake snickers bars while you're there please?

They don't need anything, they went late night shopping already.
 
Just thought I'd pop back to say how sorry I was to see all this unfold last night from afar here in CH.
The guys in our flat on Brix Rd near the tube said they had a bit of a sleepless night!

Sod's law: on Saturday morning, i'd literally just finished defending Brixton to a bunch of cuntbubbles on a whinging ex pat forum thread about 'shit Britain' :D

Love to the neighbourhood.

(btw...If you fancy a laugh at some ex pat cunts who actually make Daily Mail readers seem rational, then here you go) ;)

Now closed from KFC to junction with Stockwell Road as the forensics are working. Nothing open apart from San Marino cafe (as you can get into it from Station Road. Tube not open. No busses or cars going through (although they were this morning). Looks like boarding up work has started as KFC and M&S both have boards in now.

Blimey!

Londoners, on the other hand, are feckless, workshy and socially deviant in nature, living off drug dealing, theft, robbery and the handling of stolen goods.

I reckon M&S will open fairly quickly as it only got its windows smashed as it has shutters behind the windows. Would imagine not much damage that can't be replaced in McShitey's and Kenfucky. Shoe shops obviously fucked. Curry's will need to order a bit more stock and besides broken windows/damaged stands, not sure if it sustained any more damage. Nandos - no idea what damage occurred there. Morleys - window damage and window display goods nicked, or did anyone get inside?

I think bar Currys and Footlocker most shops just have cosmetic damage. I heard H&M got looted too so they may need a bit longer. As far as I know and could see from a distance Morleys just looks liks smashed windows rather than anyone getting in.

So just new windows, tidying up and ordering a bit of stock then I reckon.

Good, and I really hope employers are not going to stop paying their employees for not being able to work

I reckon that they should mostly be open tomorrow from what I can see, although I guess that depends on how long he forensic work takes.

Footlocker however is pretty fucked and I can't see reopening for a while. There are flats above there too apparently and they are quite badly damaged by all accounts :(
