Few of the posh car show rooms on Park Lane are being cleared out just in case.

Is this the longest OCUK thread???

Longest thread is the Random image thread with 19k posts, this might be the fastest growing thread though!

Just heard from a friend in Swindon centre that a gang of chavs are smashing up shops along Manchester road, heading for the bus station / town centre.

I really hope it's just a small group of idiots, and the Police will crush them.

Probably just a few people trying to be 'cool' in front of their mates. Won't last long.

At this rate, two more nights of rioting and we'll hit 20k.

Shops on the King's Road in Chelsea, London have been advised to close early.

Separately a group of 'youths' (around 20) moving down Beaufort Street towards Fulham/Chelsea

Some states in the US are trialling drugs tests for welfare claimants... I wonder how well that would go down here.

Who cares how well it goes down - give them an alcohol test as well.

Fail it, no benefits for you. Excellent.

I can see them going for the expensive areas tonight like Chelsea etc...

Robbo · 9 Aug 2011 at 15:48

Nice, they have a 'BlackBerry expert' on now. How useful.

megakid · 9 Aug 2011 at 15:48

Is it true that Blackberry have confirmed that they're shutting off the BBM network tonight?

Hope so, my father in law lives right where it's kicking off. I might drive down that way after work and see what's happening. Local Swindon newspaper website is down, I guess everyone is checking it.

Wife is saying there is a large gathering outside her office in Hammersmith.

If it's not on the news no, people on twitter were saying last night they were taking BBM offline.
