Coming on Twitter as well, hearing sirens. Is it kicking off?

 

[Spark]

No idea what firepoi is but its nice down here. Quite a lot of people. Even the bunch of cops by KFC disbursed. There was a quick burst of police running down acre lane followed by sirens, then all calmed down again.

Cheers gabi. Got down for it.

I'm going to sound cheesy, but it felt like a Brixton moment. Reclaiming the streets.

[Emet]

Something seems to be happening in Herne Hill, or beyond. A fire engine and four full police vans went south along Railton Road.

 

[paolo]

My answering machine is so old.

What's a firepoi? How do you even pronounce it fire-poy?
