Sirens non-stop... north London. Nearest to me is Camden but even that's a 15 min drive. They are heading towards town/central direction. Not sure why there's this sudden spurr of action.

extreem but I kinda agree

It's not extreme. These people aren't human. They don't deserve to be treated like humans. They have forfeited that right. They have no place in our society and their extinction would be nothing but a benefit to everyone.

My Grandmother, whom is originally from the Hackney/Tottenham area of London, has been crying watching the scenes in London. While watching the TV she has seen buildings burnt down which survived the Blitz.

Riots part 4

There is gonna come a point soon surely where this situation reaches tipping point? Like when it hits the tourist areas of london and they start going up in fire. If it isnt stopped it could easily escalate a level.

Surely in terms of monitary cost and capital this is the eqivilant of a terrorist attack? Yet the police seem to be stillt treating it like a football riot!

This is truely shocking. I just hope it doesn't end up happening all over the UK, i mean the cities involved already is enough.

Something needs to be done now!

Your poor Gran. God bless her.

The last I saw of the Sony Centre it was quite obviously engulfed in flames.

To those comparing the arrest rate in Birmingham to that in London, the looting and violence has been far more contained in the city centre and adjacent areas, not as spread out.

Just goes to show that the British are capable of more damage to Britain than the Nazis ever could.

All the hard work of people such as my grandparents (Grandmum in the RAF on the Radios, Grandad in the RAF as an Engineer) ... gone to waste...

I think the tipping point will be when innocent people get killed, which I am surprised hasn't happened yet.

Silly me I thought earlier it was finally starting to get under control, unbelievable how much it's escalated since I switched on at 4.

I think the police would handle a football riot a lot better.

Minor scuffles reported in Manchester according to the BBC.

frailfury · 09/08/11 - 01:40

I feel sick, ashamed and bloody furious after watching that video.

Where is there moral code or sense of right and wrong?! Why do they think they can take, take, take what isn't theirs.

Kat1966 · 09/08/11 - 01:40

Car turned over and on fire on Soho Road. By the college.

People seem to be just walking around mostly round there

They've looted the Loft Lounge, I like it there!

Hey there!
