is Brighton next?!

[Steveapps71]

but probably werent at all surprised. you need to understand that in London, roads of nice million £ town houses back on to sink estates. theres also the transportation, which allows people to treat the whole of London as one big town. unless theres local appetite for theifing, i dont see it spreading too much.

True, what you said if a little patronising "what i need to understand"...I used to live in London & know the place a little...
My quote was given as a answer to hola gus who was thinking whether or not to pick his lady up or not!
As for you quote that you "dont see it spreading too much" lets hope to christ that last night was the worst of it!

according to a rozzer i know,he has been called in tonight as they are expecting it to go off

 

[Foolg]

Probably bull shit, but some rough looking lads behind me on the bus saying it'll all kick off tonight by the clock tower. Apparently people heading down on trains from all over including London. Who knows may be bull but we will find out. These ***** really do seem up for this.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Probably bull shit, .

Don't spread it then.

I heard a rumour....

they say you have a broken heart

No, actually, wasn't there a bit of AGG near Brighton station at around 2am this morning?

 

[backson]

police in numbers in London road Brighton ,car parks are being emptied and closed.

They weren't half an hour ago when I walked down there

 

[cheesy77]

With 16,000+ at the Amex, if it all kicks off can't we all just head into town and batter the sh*t out of those little p***Ks? They can't take us all on.

Clearly I wouldn't go so far as to claim it'd never kick off in Brighton & Hove, but one factor may be that historically, the city has never had the gang and/or gun culture amongst young males that are a serious problem in places like London, Liverpool, Nottingham, Manchester and so on. Yes, there are gun-related incidents here and there, but it's extremely rare to hear of someone getting shot in B&H, and there's no significant history of gang vs gang conflicts...well not unless you count a few kids who sit around Churchill Square in the summer drinking WKD and hassling foreign students. The city has other problems, for sure, principally drug and alcohol abuse, but little gang violence.

This violence in other cities has been pretty well co-ordinated, and there has already been evidence of gang-related input. If anything went off down here, I think it'd be sporadic, involving isolated incidents and very small numbers. The other factor is that in places like Hackney, the estates where most of those kicking off probably come from are often right on top of the main High Streets. They only have to walk down the street and they're in the middle of it all. Whereas if two hundred youths from (say) Moulsecoomb could be arsed to walk all the way to Western Road just to knock off some flat screens from Dixons, I'd be a bit surprised.

Fingers crossed, eh?

i was thinking that...it would only take 1 in every 15 to head into town from the amex and the brighton fans vigilante group can scatter the knobends

Looting has now hit Brighton (havent really but watch the video)

According to my Nephew, the police came into Costa coffee down London Road and told staff that there have been rumours of riots down london road on facebook. They said to watch out for groups of youths and to ring the police. Supposedly they've been going in all the shops (the police that is).

Topshop in Brighton city centre apparently closing its doors to customers

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA)? ? I am starting to think you are really stupid. Explain yourself more.... please. ;-)

Good to see you're up with their methods.

The majority of their members are of left wing ideologies. Their methods include destroying/defacing private property to which they deem opposed to their ideals.

Could start a national trend of football fans 'saving the land'! Now that would confuse the old bill!

 

[c0lz]

Sussex Police @SpikePadley Most rumours about London Road but confused with Croydon. Rumours of trouble in Brighton and Hastings completely unfounded.

I don't think I've ever heard so many crap rumours in one single day.

Well not since transfer deadline day, obviously. Why don't you post what you know because you've seen it, not what your mate told you, via his mate, which he heard on Twitter....

Good point. Although in my defence, I spoke to my nephew...who was there...and saw it. So that was 'almost' like being there
