i think what you're saying is all helicopters are fair game after 2300
Beeb reporter saying they are getting reports of stuff happening in other parts of London,LBC were saying trouble in Brixton,Peckham and Croydon over an hour ago.This of course could be complete bollocks but would be a good tactical move given most of the heavy mob is in Tottenham.

if it's from two sources could well be true. people living in brixton could always go out and start something after reading this thread of course.

public order policing commands are of three levels, gold silver and bronze. there are a number of bronzes who will be in charge of various aspects of the police operation on the ground. silver is usually based at gt, which is gold control, and is in charge of the operation but overseen by gold who makes the final decision on things like water cannon, rubber bullets, shooting down rioters with heckler and kochs etc

OMFG the Aldi! Used to live just round corner. Anyone know where the "construction site" he mentions as the "front line" is.
Standard procedure for any operation is to have three tiers of command:
One "Gold" at HQ; passing orders to...
Several "Silver" - usually standing well back on the ground; each passing orders to...
Several "Bronze" - in the thick of it, sometimes seen with orange flashes on their shoulders.
Sky, earlier this evening, had confused something about activating a command centre in Lambeth with this standard procedure, because it sounds good.

Doesn't anyone think that it's bollocks that neither sky nor the beeb can get live pictures?
Beeb lady just said that 'our satellite van was smashed up', and sky are claiming that it's 'elf'n' safety'... surely this is odd given history.

It's the normal chain of command that is instigated for any major event. The news is making out it's a big deal, it's not. It's always set up during big events or in this case disorder.

what pickmans said, except also that its something the media like to announce in order to suggest excitement, something going on etc etc. GT is actually open (for specific events like Notting Hill, the Marathon etc) many times a year, and can be opened within an hour of something like this going on.

no, silver's not usually at the scene as this wikipedia article says: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_-_silver_-_bronze_command_structure

Okay, even sky are reporting on a 'sat van' being destroyed... surely protesters would want maximum attention?

i think people's desire for liberty might outweigh their desire for people to see the action on tv. why not smash up a tv van? it's one fewer camera filming you.

i think you overestimate the "protest" nature of this at the moment

to modernise Peel, liberty does not consist of a bunch of oiks burning an aldi to the ground
