Riot going on now in Bristol - Stokes Croft

[ericjarvis]

tbh if that's an accurate reflection of things atm then it's more standing about than rioting

Since when has "rioting" required doing anything more than standing around in the "wrong place"?

there's generally some movement and violence, not groups of people standing about doing nothing

he really does hate his constituents. Probably knows he's fucked as of the next GE anyway so getting his retaliation in early

Siege over, police in control of squat, building being secured and cleared. A lot of extremely cheesed off residents of the immediate area around today, don't expect this to go away quickly

Add West Mercia to the list. We're providing lots of useful training to a number of forces lately

It's on the practice wall so be quick - often gets painted over within days. The nature of this one may see it survive a while longer than most

Brilliant! Now you've only got to find a branch of Starbucks to smash up and you'll have done the full set.

Anybody heard much about what was going on further up Cheltenham Road last night? Only saw stuff around Stokes Croft/St Pauls itself, but there seem to have been skirmishes going on further up the road as well

Edit: go away JHE you tedious tossrag
