[Paulie Tandoori]

@rutita it's two twitter a/c's that a telegraph tweeter has taken as impeccable sources. one a/c is basically saying that someone else told him. so there's only one person who says he's seen it.

you don't need to stigmatise your own community on half truths and unreported rubbish, i've just been down there and there isn't any parallel at all between what happened last night and what's gone on in dalston.

haha

 

[ferrelhadley]

EC2, shit loads of looting.

 

[Bernie Gunther]

Wouldn't say Bond Street be more lucrative?

 

[Treacle Toes]

What do you mean my community?

i've just been down there and there isn't any parallel at all between what happened last night and what's gone on in dalston.

I haven't said there is a bloody parrallel....this thread is about looting going on tonight, don't imagine words or intentions that aren't there.

oh looting confirmed, all over london, predict where next...you playing fucking bingo love? ffs, i'm going to bed.

 

[twentythreedom]

It'd be good if some actual government buildings got torched.

And why's White Hart Lane not been reduced to ashes yet?

I tell you what fuck off you patronising grumpy arse, who are you to define my community? I usually have a lot of time for you but cock off and take your shitty mood out on someone else.

What I'm doing right now is preparing to go to bed after running my self ragged organising and running a community party yesterday and having a massive clear up job today. Most of what I see as my community were at that party yesterday.

Make your point about unconfirmed reports fair enough but don't lecture me on my community and how I should define it. You have no clue.

 

[Treacle Toes]

Hackney, Holloway...saw groups (from the overground) gathering around Camden before I left. Dalston shops have shut up again.

 

[Belushi]

Half a dozen shops looted in Streatham last night. The fellas boarding up one of them said there had also been incidents in Tooting.

 

[Pingu]

its made the news here in krakow. cant understand a word of whats being said but recognise london.

Local paper reports minor incidents in Colliers Wood too. Of course, with the current state of things someone having an angry word at a policeman or kicking a bin would probably get Twitter claiming there's a riot.

"'When you cut facilities, slash jobs, abuse power, discriminate, drive people into deeper poverty and shoot people dead whilst refusing to provide answers or justice, the people will rise up and express their anger and frustration if you refuse to hear their cries. A riot is the language of the unheard." Martin Luther King.

Lewisham, Peckham...unconfirmed in Islington, Hoxton and New Cross.

Oh yes. I'm sure pensioners and the unemployed would be delighted if their payments were delayed because some fuckwit has torched the building handling their benefits.
