Croydon in flames

[eastlondonseagull]

It's ironic that the police appear to be powerless in Woolwich (I can smell the fire from where I live) and yet the army are only a few hundred yards up the road.

 

[Surport Local Team]

Get the army in!!!!! Now!!!!!!

 

[Ernest]

Whereabouts in Streatham out of interest? Meant to be moving up there in 10 days, seems to have avoided the worst of it so far. Cant see it being too long until targeted though.

West Norwood way, said he is scared his car is going to get it but last I've heard from him all he said was the smell of smoke no riots nearby yet

 

[Falkor]

Carphone warehouse on fire in Clapham now

 

[Mr Burns]

Not surprised as these scum are out of control so where does it end and when are the police going to get a grip ?

Too be fair to the police, how can they get a grip. They're aren't enough of them. Its too widespread.

The only way now, is the army, and zero tolerance. We need Cameron to announce Martial Law, and a zero tolerance policy. If your on the streets, and don't heed Army/Police warnings. Be perpared to be shot. And the army dont shoot to wound. If they want to hang around and take on the army, let them, but make it there choice.

But unforuantely Cameron hasn't got the jewels to do that. He's come on, spitting mad, and say and do nothing. We need a proper leader, one with an Iron Fist who is prepared to take action for the good of the country and not themselves. And I'm saying that as a tory. If only the far right wasn't all about race, I'd be there in a flash.

There is a lot of stuff not being reported.

Purley Way has been destroyed and there are still no Police up there.

PC World/Argos/Ikea/Currys/Comet all looted and smashed to shit. Sainsburys looted.

Rumours that Cosmo (Restaurant) and Ikea are on fire as well.

When did IKEA go up? My parents went there tonight on the way home from their holiday and I cant get an answer on their mobiles or the home home number> Please tell me this is a miss report??

 

[seagull_special]

Its not polital. Its nothing to do with police cuts. Aren't there more police on the streets now, then a few years ago?

Double the police numbers, this will still happen.

It wont go on all summer. If it does one of two things will happen. The army will have to control it, or normal people will take matters into their own hands, and a lot of dead little shits will be appearing all over London within weeks

As I said its NOT political and maybe if the Tottenham riot had been crushed quickly and effectively by the police it wouldn't have led to copycat looting and rioting. A lot of 'little shits' all over the country will be watching these scenes and thinking that looks bloody easy and they are more likely to inflict violence then be the victim of it. i think if the army were called in to deal with the situation it would be a political embarrasment and a sad reflection on the police.

I'm within 1/2 mile of the 'action'. Local Co-op looted.

You must have read my mind as I posted that too, no way to start being soft now. Hit the fuckers hard and make sure no fucker does it again

 

[perseus]

I never really thought of Crawley as in Sussex, but as a frontier town to hold the Londoners back.

They shut Ikea down at about 8.30.

The rumours of the fire were about 10.30. The entire Valley Park shopping bit has been smashed

 

[Seaber]

Just wondering, could PCSO's help out, or is this beyond their call of duty?

They'd probably stop people photographing it.

This 'live' map of the trouble is brilliant, btw.

Does anyone know whether Wallington has been hit as my friend lives there and and we cant get hold of her

 

[The Auctioneer]

Shoot the Bastards

If I say I had a gun and was prepared to use it against these little bastards, would I get a bigger prison sentence than them?
