Kicking Off In Tottenham

[claphamboy]

Live pictures of clapham on Sky right now

How very dare them, I am in bed!

 

[pk]

You're dreaming.
So people have been saying for the last couple of days, you avant-gardeist, you!

Oh come on, you don't expect me to actually read these threads?

Chalk Farm and Camden too according to the BBC.

Inter racial /inter communal violence isnt exactly an encouraging new devpt Ed....

(just an aside) yeah, but no suprise. Remember when Tottenham's football firm, 99/2000ish? wanted a row after a match; other lot wouldn't oblige (not many did at that time) so some started it with the local Turks in the kebab shops on the High Road, with 8 of the firm getting stabbed. Big Kurdish independence group around there too. news of them getting tooled up was on main news yesterday.
must di out Spike Lee's 'Do the Right Thing'. One of Tottenham's strengths is the lack of inter racial stuff...don't even think this is racial, just those who own shops defending themselves...and they've probably been on the receiving end of military policing as well over the years.

This is way past the 80's riots ...

Camden is almost (actually is these days) into posh people's London.

 

[past caring]

FFS, sky are reporting looters are breaking into people homes, even bedrooms, in Croydon...

And if there's a new hight of hysteria anywhere in the media, we can guarantee that you'll post it here.

The left! The muslims! The looters! The net-curtains!

Yeah, jesus Treelover you sound like you're getting your info from Harry's Place these days.

Well, I'd rather see the Bank of England or Bond Street on fire than some poor sods flat in Dalston.

Kentish Town is full of £1m homes , but with Queens Crescent poor and fucked up bang in the middle

Cop out. You're a vegetable.

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

most of them probably. fucking mental what's going on atm, it's sent a rocket of uncertainty up most right thinking people i reckon.

 

[pk]

Nobody but you and the EDL mentioned muslims. And net curtains, yeah. Because it's the twitchy middle classes losing their homes above shops, yes?

 

[Paulie Tandoori]

chatting to yourself there love?

that's where the labour former cabinet minister whose husband had something to do with berlusconi lives. she has a nice house. in fact much of kentish town is very nice.

even queen's crescent's improved over the last 20 years.

Thats hardly fair, loads of people live in small flats above shops, they're hardly middle class, e.g. the shops on the Walworth Road.

Thats interesting I've only been in the uk a couple of years, how does this rate against the 80s?

 

[treelover]

actually its frightening PT, it doesn't seem like the 80's riots which had some political direction, this is just nihilism and random violence, its like a whole class has been licence to do what they want..

and yes, people are being pulled out of cars, etc, it is on the newslines, Guardian, radio 5, etc..

As Shifty said earlier, if society doesn't care about you, why should you care about society?

 

[treelover]

if it continues tomorrow, I predict vigilante squads will begin to appear, Sky just reporting crowds cheering the police.

 

[Bernie Gunther]

Well with the Tories in power, you know for sure that there are going to be riots, but these seem significantly more serious than the Thatcher-era riots.
