Woolwich soldier killed (was "Did cops just shoot 2 dead in woolwich?")

[Dillinger4]

The EDL mob appears to have fizzled from 100 to ten to fuck all.

where did they all come from? where did they go?

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

no it won't.

I mean the police will probably try to use it as an excuse. I didn't mean it was justification to get water cannon

Google "Syria rebel eats heart"

 

[Pickman's model]

you have a combination of a very poor area (unlike much of london, you've got to go a bloody long way (the other side of greenwich) to find a posh bit), and ethnic tension which you don't get in, say, peckham, because of the proximity to the long-term BNP heartlands. growing up in such an area, would, i imagine, create fertile grounds for becoming radicalised.

always thought round woolwich, bermondsey more nf and the bnp heartland - in london terms - always been more welling when they had the bookshop there, and barking & dagenham.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukn...We-want-to-start-a-war-in-London-tonight.html is one amazing story. That woman has real guts.

Blimey. And some.

no they won't. the water cannon they've been using recently are too slow to be much use in a fast-moving situation.

i thought that this sort of 11pm nonsense had ended with the liberalisation of the licensing laws in 2003

 

[Lord Camomile]

Riot police seen gearing up on Blackheath Common, apparently.

Yes, sometimes GG says true and important things. In this case, though, it should be added that the Baathists that GG prefers and their Hezbollocks allies, whom GG "glorifies", are equally disgusting.

Still lots of pubs that shut at 11.00pm Monday to Thursdays

Most still stop serving between 11 and 12 on a weeknight.

The oddest part of that video is when the killer is talking to the camera and a woman nonchalantly wheels her shopping bag in his direction until she finally twigs something's not right.

so 1990s

In terms of how this plays out in Woolwich particularly, I was wondering about the 'conversations' that are going to play out over the next few days. No doubt youth workers, unions, even Labour (???) will be dashing round doing a bit of damping down, but there aren't many old style authorities in play any more (particularly for the white working class who the EDL will be after). I'm not that big on 'traditional authorities', but it leaves the way open for racists.

Some pubs don't even bother opening on Mondays.

Too slow onthe streets, or too slow to arrive from N Ireland?

Source? That's a way away from Woolwich, can't imagine EDL walking it. Hope the fuckers aren't coming to Lewisham.

Friend on a bus texted me as they went past.

Which makes it impossible really, they'd have to go through Greenwich which'd mean passing Desperados which has a late license till about 3am and a Wetherspoons opposite, would decimate their numbers through attrition.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Kinda what I thought but... ah, your edit, yeah, that's what I figure. Getting ready there, then heading into Woolwich.

The real power of this story has come from the video of the suspect. Without that it wouldn't have made the front page of The Woolwich Bugle. Well,perhaps it would have done tomorrow.

Video technology. Internet. It's like we were all there. We weren't. Very important to remember that.
