reeves burnt out



gone.


sadness; overhead a young boy today asking his brother ' text dad tell him to take care coming home tonight'.

hope; a huge hells-angel type man outside croydon town hall with a broom in hand, waiting with a group of ordinary people to clean up.




2pm today, getting ready for another night of riots. when will it stop?

Hi Em,

Good to see amongst all this madness there are decent types beneath it. A bit of that war spirit about them. Not enough of them though I am afraid which is a worrying sign for society.

No signs of improvement. People are full of angst. People feel they deserve so much without giving anything in return. Its an opportunist society. I can't see it getting any better. Cuts here there and everywhere plus a global economy in meltdown on top.

Shokcking to read about the Reeves building. 140 years, 2 world wars, depressions and all else. To survive all that and then be burnt to the ground by some mindless thugs just intent on destruction. So sad.

All the best
