London is already probably the most unpleasant, badly-run capital in Europe. The only things that appear to work there are its red traffic lights, it's high taxes and fines system and the sweat-glands in strangers’ armpits in the Underground.

And now, you lot have annoyed the natives. They don't know the difference between you and the "Yoof", can't tell you apart. According to them you are all monkeys.

Go on, read for yourself.

Some of the comments here are amazing.

Lets be very clear this is people using this as an opportunity to loot and cause havoc, these are people who are or live side by side with scum.

The guy who was shot is not some saint or pillar of the community but a blinking drug dealer, the fact that he is seen as a "good guy" tells you more about tottenham than anything else.

They are smashing their own area up, what a way to improve their lives.

The sad thing is there are people in these areas trying to improve themselves and get out of the cycle but are surrounded by people who are not willing to try hard and think that people own them a living, no one owns anybody anything jare.

the last time i checked in 2006, london was the most visited with paris coming a distant second. . . . . .but then these things are not static and it's a shame that a country you branded as shyte ranks higher than dubai, new york, shanghai and other top cities. it must mean these visitors must love shyt.

i love it that way. . . . . .i love the unpleasantness of it. . . . .
and to say london is the most badly-run capital in europe is a shame on your education.
london is world's most economically powerful city. . . . .ranks higher than new york and tokyo.


And now, you lot have annoyed the natives. They don't know the difference between you and the "Yoof", can't tell you apart. According to them you are all monkeys.

this is a very naive thing to say.
there's a difference between a yob and a working professional.
stop embarrassing yourself with your racist snide remarks - only foolish people go via that route.

Visitors to London are mostly corrupt Russian Oligarchs, Arab Sheikhs and Nigerian politicians. , so yeah.

By what measure exactly does London rank higher than Tokyo or New York? And what percentage of that City Money trickles down to the "hard working Yoof" of Peckham and Brixton?

You are perfectly right, there's a difference. But will the English ever see the difference?

Last time I was hungry, even to think normal been dey hard, not to talk of thinking political. When hunga dey catch me, I dont care if dem beat man or woman, or if na black or white. D only thing on my mind na where I go find garri, groundnut and surgar to sustain me.

Yeah - i heard Statford is scheduled for some looting tonight.

But 'Hackney' will be severe if it erupts - there are too many poor people and ethnic minorities there.

Seems they dont give a F, k

They are looting right now in Hackney and its not even 5pm.

Re: Tottenam On Fire by IBEXY(m): 5:05pm On Aug 08, 2011
I just came from Woodgreen. So many shops were looted. T-Mobile, Boots, Body Shop. Several shop windows showed evidence of breakage - glasses shattered. There was a feeling of panic in the air. Even in the Wood green shopping mall where I went, several shops were closed. Some were shutting down as I was there. There was a brief period when people just started running - for no reason at all. Everyone is afraid.

The looted and burnt area in Tottenham high road is still cordoned off. Helicopter constantly in the air. Police every where. One officer said the closure will last a few days.
Re: Tottenam On Fire by Sunofgod(m): 5:06pm On Aug 08, 2011
r231:

Ohh - Well I would get out of there as soon as possible.

Trouble is building (check out sky news or BBC news)

As a precaution take your personal belongings with you (including any food you leave in the fridge) as your place of work may burn down tonight.

And if your wearing new trainers dont run when your on the street - you may get arrested as a suspected looter.

Good Luck,

This is serious . , . . .

The police must be stretched and tired.

They're clearly outnumbered by the disgruntled youths/yobs

Look - you are not safe.

Roads are already blocked off and public transport (buses) at a stand still.

The crowds will only grow and once they finish looting JD sports they may descend on the town hall.

Get out of the area immediately.

Dont call her into that area - for her own safety.

Its best you head to the nearest undergroud station and head to a station she can pick you.

Dont make her come into Hackney right now - its too risky!!!

If your gun is registered you can use 'reasonable force' to defend yourself and property.

If the gun is illegal dont use it - unless your just firing warning shots.

instead grab a knife but again remember you can only use reasonable force.

the gun is registered - a 12-guage shotgun
it's quicker, less messier.

reasonable force. . . .shooting someone on the kneecap is reasonable, innit?
Re: Tottenam On Fire by IBEXY(m): 5:29pm On Aug 08, 2011
They've started in Hackney. Check Sky News. Apparently, a stop and search by police sparked off the riot.
Re: Tottenam On Fire by r231(m): 5:34pm On Aug 08, 2011
The whole place is going crazy now. . . . . Wow

Re: Tottenam On Fire by denzel2009: 5:37pm On Aug 08, 2011
