Police have started to lock down Ealing Broadway. Starting to get way too close to home for me now.

Big building burning in Croydon on Sky News is Reeves furniture, on Reeves Corner. Family business open since 1867. Gone just like that.

Has anyone seen 'Escape From New York' ?
Is that an option?
It's a bloody good film. Might keep a few of em occupied for an hour or 2.

feck off Nick.
Some of those fires look like footage from the blitz in the 40s
Absolute vile bastards doing this

Number 10 says "Twitter rumours" that the army have been deployed in some areas in response to the rioting "are just rumours".

Bollocks, isn't it? 99% (probably more) of the thugs out there won't even know who the guy was who was shot.
Seriously why are the fires in Croyden not being put out?
Only if it was anfield we were wrecking!
Not that we would have much more wrecking to do!
Apparently police have to clear it or something and their resources are obviously stretched.
I was on sight visits today in Surrey and when through Croydon.
I can't believe this shit.

Wow, it's the end of days, you've just plagiarised Elv.
Hate reading about stuff like this. Your livelihood gone just like that. Over a hundred years of your family's hard work and effort...gone. Just gone.
The authorities need to get a handle on this situation and fast. This just isn't right.Shame, sounds like a good idea to me.
Would you go in there if you were a fireman?
Aren't they supposed to be brave?
Definitely.
They are terrorists, send in the army and kill them all
I'm not too far away from Ealing is the police taking precaution?
Guys who run into burning buildings to save peoples lives? Yeah I'd say that was pretty brave.... no sure they should have to go in and face gangs of rioting shitheads though, trying not to be killed by the burning buildings must be hard enough without doing it while being attacked.
In my defence I never listen to what he says!
Exactly. It's like the student business a while back, most of the trouble was caused by fecknuts who just went along for the ruck.
This after your "the police are not doing a good job post"? You're on a roll.
I haven't heard anyone in the last dozen pagea of this thread try to justify what's happened as a justifiable protest against police brutality. Even the kids involved gave up that pretence a while back.
Of course, that's not to say the ghettoisation (no idea if that's spelt right) of a segment of London society isn't a big factor. You reap what you sow as a society and the bigger the gap between the haves and the have nots the more likely you are to create a generation of kids that just don't give a feck.
They're not allowed to be brave any more sadly what with all this health & safety legislation.
Guys on Sky News now. Poor guy sounds like he's in tears
So do you think they'll cancel or move the game at Wembley, or is it far enough out to be safe?
I blame those behind the police's tactics more than individual policemen.
Yup, it's hard hitting when you hear from the people themselves.
The Conservative government aren't in any way responsible, oh no.
I'm starting to get a very low tolerance for these thugs. The situation has escalated so the authorities need to raise their response. They are destroying communities, businesses and spreading fear. We need to get control of the streets quickly.
I'm not adverse to tear gas, water cannons, tasers, etc being used. Need to make a statement of intent and teach these idiots, young or not, some respect.
I think so. It's not my pic, I found it on the net but i've just seen another one. Looks like riot police are lurking around as well.

I know I would be.
What a bunch of scum.
Bring the army in and start shooting the bastards on sight.
