Celebrate Thatcher's death party, tonight, Windrush Square

[Kanda]

I ended up there all on my own tonight, but it was great. I don't know any of you but there was a high proportion of attractive people so I'll assume that was all the urbanites!

Yeah, I was all over the place. Thx

Nah, fractured glass, bit of paint maybe, nothing major. Unless they upped they're game in the last hour...

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I've seen pictures of Mothercare with a window smashed. I'm starting to wonder if people are putting up pictures from old riots?

Even if one window is smashed, it's hardly a riot

The street was cleared about half an hour ago. Lots of extra officers and a bunch of dogs showed up and they pushed everyone on to the pavement.

I didn't see any shop damage, I don't know why the riot police came out. I did see a few punch-ups, not sure what they were about. Didn't see a single arrest - the police were very restrained IMO.

Just seen the Brixton pary on Al Jazeera

 

[Frumious B.]

Very puzzling, those dogs. All four of them were so fixated on tearing into each other that they kind of cancelled themselves out. I think it would have been more effective to leave three of them at home.

Aw Mation and TC having a boogie

 

[longleigh]

20k plus signed up for no state funeral

 

[Yossarian]

Nice one, would have loved to have been in Brixton for the party - it's made it into Associated Press and Reuters wire reports as well as major newspapers in the US and Australia - think I can spot a few familiar faces in accompanying photos

Some more vids..

That's a great video I reckon.

Oh! I didn't know they were known urbanites, possibly being known they were being filmed, but anyways. I still think it's a good vid.

One News in NZ just played some footage of the party and interviewed a brown-jacketed, brown-haired-and-beardy guy who was quite eloquent in his explanation about why it was party time

 

[Greebo]

Now being described on the Today Programme as "a few people in a mock celebration"

looked like they were playfighting and sniffing each other's bums!
