Riots in Tottenham, London! (NO RACIST COMMENTS)

[fozzybear]

Bringing the army in is crazy talk.

Why is it?

Things are getting out of control and the Police just don't have the man power to deal with it.

Another Gravesendian! Where abouts?! And the legendary Neil79 no less!

I'm loving the Irish guy on the BBC right now, though.

Oh my God! There's three of us now! Down by the Gandhi restaurant, myself

Female spokes person is getting wound up. Better watch herself.

Edit - she also said bring in the army.

What's with the beef over the split screen with the NYSE? They probably have no idea what's going on considering their economy's probably going into freefall, only the retarded would think they're applauding the fires.

oh god seriously?

Guy on BBC at the moment seems to have spoken the most sense so far.

Too right.

I can see the smoke from my house. Fortunately, I'm far enough away to not be overly concerned yet, but **** me I'm getting scared.


There aren't enough police or fire fighters to deal with this. How long until military personnel are called in to make up the numbers?

 

[Dmack]

mate this is terrible.... really need some order

Is that on the BBC? Is it better than Sky?

 

[krooton]

fire and looting in colliers wood (Tandem Centre). Only a few miles from here.

Crap! Friends of mine live above the Jessops there

@metpoliceuk Metropolitan Police
Temporary Commissioner Tim Godwin appeals to parents to contact their children http://bit.ly/qIaAL1

Bit late. The 'parents' should have made contact with their children years ago.

Yeah she was reading a text though I think.

 

[LeJosh]

Is that on the BBC? Is it better than Sky?

BBC yeah.

They're just circling the croydon furniture store and speaking to the public but she's getting wound up herself.

Edit - was she strife? My bad.

Edit 2 - fire has spread to other buildings!

 

[Ahleckz]

It's an odd time when I feel safe living in the East End of Glasgow! Hope everyone is safe. I'm watching Russia Today, hoping they show some Russian-style justice.

 

[Jono8]

seriously, where is the fire brigade!?!

 

[Von Smallhausen]

Said the policeman who's fellow officers are clearly in control.

What are the army going to do? Shoot people in droves?

While troops can be public order trained, they are no substitute for trained PSU cops.

People need to undertstand that every street and property can't be protected and that is with the army on the streets or not.

 

[XeNoN89]

Lots more going on in croydon aswell as fires


Lots if looting, and rioting. Officers have been injured

 

[Beast06]

Need to get the RUC back in service and flown over to sort this **** out. Would be no ******* around with that lot

 

[Psycho Ned]

In my opinion the fact the scrotes got away with it on Saturday is whats caused this escalation, if the cops had given them a good hiding then it would probably have gone no further.

I'm sure they would have liked to have waded in as well but are too fearful of red tape and lawsuits, impossible situation for them with little backup from spineless politicians.

 

[101001101]

Houses over the street now on fire from that large block, the whole lot is gonna go

seriously, where is the fire brigade!?!

Probably dealing with the other fires and waiting for areas to be secured before even going near it.
