Riots in North London
 

It's all going off. Looks pretty scary.

Bloody yobbos.

For god's sake don't let them see this: "... initial ballistics tests on a bullet, found lodged in a police radio worn by an officer during Thursday's incident, suggested it was police issue – and therefore had not been fired by Duggan."

Well at least people give a shit about something. Pissed off enough to take back the city.

Please don't make this guy a martyr.

Since when r u brits not rioting?

Since a police officer shot a man dead. I know it happens all the time in the US but in Britain it's just not the done thing.

I'd go as far as to say it's bad form.

Fucked up shit pooks. X0x0

I would head up there and give them rioters a hand but I've got a Napoleon torte in the oven.

And to think, we all laughed at the Kaiser Chiefs

What's Kaiser Chiefs' stupid hair got to do with it?

Or should that be Chiefs's?

very bad form all round, next thing these here yobo's will be wanting the vote.

I have a friend from the U.S. who is visiting London as we speak. Pretty intense.

The areas so far affected are Tottenham and, to a far lesser degree, Enfield, Wood Green, Walthamstow and Brixton. With the possible exception of Brixton, there's no real need for a visitor to go to any of those areas. I've lived in London all my life and never stepped foot in Wood Green. I'm not even all that sure where it is.

can't we all just get along?????¿

More areas affected today: Hackney, Elephant & Castle, Harlesden, Shoreditch and Lewisham.

reports on fb saying Croydon has kicked off too

but i've seen no news reports yet (and i live far enough away from the town centre to be affected) (so far...)

ok, now i can see smoke

It kicked off round here now.
