Christ, this is getting disturbingly close to me.
I thought we were safe south of the river, but they're shutting all the shops and people are starting to line the streets.

Oh dear, perhaps the the retraction of bus services wasn't such an overreaction as it looked.
Everything seems to be fucking up recently. America debt crisis, Europe debt crisis and now riots in the England. Hopefully this doesn't spread across all of the UK.
This is actually quite scary :o
It's times like this I'm glad I live in the countryside..
Everything is burning.

It's already spreading, there's been looting and stuff in Birmingham too.

Yeah but I mean hitting Scotland and Wales. Ireland already have riots going on the now or are they done with that?
Sorry about how blunt this message is, I'm just sourcing off my facebook which I never log into. Not sure if this is in Birmingham, but it might be.

Where in Essex? It's alright in Colchester at the moment but I live near some really rough fuckin' places so I don't doubt it may kick off
From what I have heard now if it gets any worse they are going to send marines in all riot gear and crap-loads of armed police to disperse them.
I also heard a woman was trapped in one of the buildings but got out THANK FUCKING GOD
!FUCKING YOBS!
Good thing I live in an area full of posh twats.
When was the last time we had riots like this? I remember tuition fees but that only lasted one night and was pretty muted compared to this
Angry Irish guy on the phone to the BBC at the moment, shouting abuse at someone as they walk past.

I really hope nobody else has posted this already
Also, there are reportedly people on Facebook and Twitter posting pictures of the stuff they have looted. Fuck the world!

Armed police would make things worse, if the rioters responded like for like it would not go well. They need to do something though.
Also it seems the met police are getting choppers from other police forces (Surrey and Sussex) at the moment to assist.

My friends brother lives in a flat right next to that fire there, and he can't leave apparently.
HOLY SHIT is that street lamp melting or something over the furniture store?? It was definitely something melting

it's nothing this big, but in the Broadwater farm riots a copper got decapitated.
I hope my relatives get out of Croydon soon. I heard they are going to Essex in he car now.
Fuck them scum FUCK THEM!
Woman just said on BBC that the army should be brought in.
The BBC are reading out angry text messages demanding something to be done.

A lot of race riots in the early 00s and then of course the Poll Tax riots and the Tottenham riots of 1985 where a policeman was stabbed to death
