Rumour has it the London Eye is on fire... [url]http://thewestlondoner.wordpress.com/category/news/[/url]
Bristol Police Comissioner confirms several hundred rioters on the streets.
Need to go to bed now, London Facepunchers, be safe, be careful.
I fucking lol'd at the weather forecast: "Unsettled conditions expected over most the UK, starting from tomorrow"

Without stereotyping, the people who are doing this use blackberries so its no real surprise.
I heard somewhere that RIM are basically handing over all of their info to the police so they are kinda fucked.

Like the first row, learn to read god damn it.
0224: Spent last few minutes checking unbelievable rumour that the London Eye is on fire. Only one picture so far, can’t tell if it’s a fake or not.
I find that almost impossible to believe at the moment.
If the london eye really is on fire then whoever gets the photo has an iconic image in their hands.
Well I've decided to hide an axe in my wardrobe in case im attacked
Christ. The london eye.. now that's insane.

Paul Lewis (a guardian journalist) on BBC news now. The man is seriously the batman of journalists. He's dressed in a hoodie so that he gets undercover news.

Damn, that was unexpected.

Is anyone actually able to confirm if this is real, or not?
If the london eye is really on fire, then god help us.

And now metal has somehow become flammable? I highly doubt that

He is awesome.
I feel a weird national pride feeling that I've never felt before seeing the London Eye supposedly on fire. It's an icon
[QUOTE=jaykray;31616639]That couldn't look more fake.[/QUOTE]
It doesn't look fake at all. Look at the water reflection. That would take a long time in Photoshop to do you know?
I doubt that's real, if it was I would've thought they'd report/mention it on BBC news straight away
But if it is real... oh god
