True story:

I typed in "There's gonna be a #riot down in Trumpton tonight" this morning on twitter (lyric from HMHB's "Trumpton Riots")

Some guy came straight back with "dumbness expect the pigs at ur house tonight"

I replied "they can find me at Windy's windmill"

The level of paranoia, lack of perspective, not to mention lack of knowledge about cult 1970s kids' programming, is astonishing in this country

Apparantly its kicking off in Hastings at the moment, but no reports from official sources of course+

Edit: You've heard the "rumour" as well Rock Lobster

Aye, numerous people on FB and twitter panicking. ???

Someone who's in town now said it's pretty quiet.
Don't get why people find it necessary to start rumours like that when no doubt people are already quite nervous about it kicking off near them.

These whole riots are creating another moral panic surrounding hoodies and tracksuits really. Whenever people will see teenagers wearing these clothes they will immediately think the worst. Anyway, the people rioting are only a very small minority of the population.

I've just walked up London Road and the place is a mess, shops are in bits, hoodies everywhere, carnage on the streets.








No rioting though.

Just been into town, nothings happened yet, only saw two police officers and both were CSO's just doing there normal job. Nothing at all different on London road either.

There are A LOT of younger people mentioning similar things about tonight though, all of whom looked up for trouble.

Where? Who are these younger people?

Not getting on your case here but these are just words that would mean anything but are most likely complete bullshit.

As I've just said on the other thread, all over town people are talking about this. It may well be bullshit, read my other post to save me re-writing it if you could, I feel there's something in all this.
