Riots in Tottenham, London! (NO RACIST COMMENTS)

[PiKe]

Give Boris a loud haler and let him bumble the protesters to death?

6000 cops were stretched to the limit last night.

16000 can tackle disorder far better.

but will they ?
if it all kicks off again tonight, will we see a different picture tonight ?

@Rockitt5
I have another correlation, riots in poor deprived areas. Which has better causation?

or is it genetics.

Our head office has just been closed and everyone told to evacuate and work on RAS from home.... Since we work closely with the police it seems to suggest they think something is going to continue / kick off?

Who and where are you?

What's RAS?

Acronym for Remote Access System.

Stulid, that worries me, I have police friends, & I'm told they are being drafted to London, having been called up from the towns around the south west.

I've seen pictures of police wagons with Welsh writing on them (Heddlu) driving down London streets. Now I saw an episode of Traffic Cops once featuring the South Wales police, and lets just say I have even less confidence in them than I do in the Met.

Better quality version

Heard that there is currently trouble at Nottingham Victoria Centre, can anyone confirm?

A war between black/ethnic gangs and the police you mean.

I think tonight is crucial to see how this plays out now, if it is even worse tonight then Cameroni must take action (army etc) otherwise as you say its going to be completely out of control.

Boris just said it right, reclaim the streets! Wonder if anyone will come out and try to protect the area against the rioters.

I read something earlier that 100 riot police from GMP (Greater Manchester Police) are going down to London as well. I just hope things don't start up in Manchester!

And this is where it starts kicking off in Cardiff cos all the police are in London

A serious question, will they be doing anything different to last night to 'tackle disorder'? I still cant see double the amount of cops making much difference if all they can do still is stand and get stuff thrown at them.

Id love the riots to come down here, not enough blacks though tbh, the ones that are here are a bit too sedate... I saw a few in Tesco and asked them if they are going to kick off as it'd be nice to get the shopping free, but they weren't up for it in the light of day

But still I do fancy loading up the car from the local Currys, dont see why I have to miss out on the free goods tbh.

 

[londonbairn]

Anything in West London?? Im hearing Westway in Greenford was targetted??

Why are the 'deprived areas' always populated by mostly black people?

Cardiff suburbs and Swansea suburbs are bad, however they are in no way as bad as the suburbs of Tottenham, Peckham, Hackney etc so its not surprising if they are not used to the level of criminality of area's of London.

How come people seem to be saying damage is taking place now in London but no footage? Small groups?

He's white.

standard rant from people now days, it stops people dealing with the heart of the matter.
