londons burning - so is croydon too

what is going on? why is no-one putting a stop to this. will tomorrow bring another riot?

heard that kings college is having a bit of a problem, bringing in extra security, very selfishly i have an appt in a few weeks, i need to go to.

STOP

no trips to dulwich park. peckham has being experiencing riots tonight, dulwich is just up the road.

i cannot believe my eyes watching news24. was this waiting to happen? probably.

9.20pm; spoke to soon croydon is alight.

The peasants are revolting!!

It must be truly terrifying for the poor residents and people who just need to get across London! Are they at it again tonight? Not got the news on to see.

Just in time for the Olympics too! Might put a few people off coming here!

This is on your doorstep Em? Oh my gosh they've been broadcasting pictures of that furniture store on fire all night. I really feel for you, it's scaring me and I live at the other side of the country! I've never seen anything so shocking. It's as if the thugs are in complete control. PM coming back from his hols. No one in power tonight. Not enough police. Unprecedented violence. Something has gone very very wrong here!

Sleep well sweet lady. Hope daylight brings calm x

It does sound scary. This was on the news in Canada also, and I thought of you Em.

Yeah, I've been thinking about you too Em :-/ Some of the places I'm hearing about on the TV are awful close to regular haunts you've mentioned on your blog. Worry worry. Sure hoping you're OK!

I'm miles from Liverpool and Manchester Em, thanks sweetie, not on my doorstep like you have there. There's nothing to loot here unless they want to try the charity shops and the five thousand take aways.

I know I am posting this far too late to make a difference to the immense stress this must have caused you personally em, having thought I had posted but obviously my stupid wireless connection dipped and I thought I had commented and had not. A minor trouble compared to these.
I am just so very very sorry for each and every individual who has and is still being affected.
