If this isn't the lead story on BBC London News, then I shall be writing to Points of View in the strongest possible terms.
On the bright side, as far as I know nobody has died in this yet.
That's actually a bit of a result, I reckon.

No. It's a shame all the people committing these indefensible crimes weren't killed.
Quote: AngieBaby @ August 8 2011, 8:26 PM BSTIs it just me who thinks of rioting as being a Northern thing?
We recycle in London, this shouldn't be happening here.
Oh I get it, you must live under a rock.

As much as I'd love to watch some of these f**kbags getting batoned to within an inch of their lives, I'm not sure that would help matters.

You just copied this off the back of your tour T-shirt.

They won't cover it. Just like they never covered that foreign bus molester who operated in your area.
It's time to get out the Bat-Signal folks.
Quote: chipolata @ August 8 2011, 10:10 PM BST
They missed out on a 'Pole to Pole' headline there too.
I've been getting that bus for years, and never got so much as a seedy look. 
Rob is glad he lives in a boring part of London. *crosses fingers*

Relax! He's on his way back from his holiday. I'm sure he'll have a statement in the morning.
Can you imagine what life must've been like in the pre-police days though?
Seriously? I know there weren't any J.D Sports mannequins to undress, but still, it must've been terrifying.

Word of mouth, two riot vans have fled the area.
Bus route has been withdrawn due to injuries to two drivers.
Still lots of knifepoint muggings going on.
Local pub on fire.
Cars on fire.
Looting and setting shops on fire still happening.
Lots of people still coming into area
Not enough police/fire brigade to do anything

Nice. Just the f**king people fend for themselves!
No doubt the press line'll say everything's now contained.
The f**king Vikings didn't get away it with this shit for this long! Where's the
f**king armed response units? Or the 2000-strong team that
escorts royalty anywhere?!
Utterly bizarre situation.
The whole thing has just come out of nowhere, but it's like it has just been sitting there waiting to happen.
