Doesn't make sense in 2011 London from the outside

But this is the situation that everyone has tried so hard to engineer! We all thought that the police were too violent when suppressing protests. Well, now they are less violent. None of the officers on the ground want to wind up in jail for injuring a protester. Most of them are demoralised because of cuts to pay. Many of them probably feel that the public are against them. Hence, not just hours, but days of looting. Enjoy!

Darned cockwombles.
Following Clapham on Twitter is hilarious at the moment - people can't BELIEVE it would come there. Incredulity is fascinating. I don't believe they've ever noticed the huge estates before right behind Clapham Jn...

True enough.


The scale of this is just mental, really unbelievable.

assemble small groups off high streets before getting together in such big numbers that the police ... run away!

causes as follows (this to clarify matters for luka and vim)
  • hottest weekend of the year
  • economic fuckup of tory 2011
  • rupert murdoch symbol of unbridled establishment looting and corruption
  • closure of northern reaches of piccadilly line at the weekend
  • youth clubs shut ema cancelled
  • amy winehouse martyr of north london
  • elitism and misdevelopment in the name of the olympics
  • ramadan!
  • name brand envy leading to a uncannily similar window smashing agenda to the anticapitalist movement
  • that big turd boris
  • that big turd boris
  • that big turd gadaffi
  • a massive social stratum without access to holiday in tuscany or anywhere fancying a big weekend
  • loss of dignity of authority figures especially the police who are organisationally in impotent manic depression, but also ipcc & the courts
  • not an uneducated mass of petty crims, but an intelligent group of first-world ghetto youth who understand very well all of the above but to whom noone listens at any other time
  • & no collective agenda at all, every individual with their own collection of legitimate beef, this being by far most terrifying of all for the powers that be who are quivering in denial
  • & more which i'm sure will come to mind
luka will also be enchanted to hear that locals have apparently held off looters at east ham & east london mosque

I love you sufi

LBC is up to date on news as it was yesterday. If you can hack the DJs, and the phone-ins from people in Southend.

Agree that the police are in a difficult position because they can't go wading in - but that's at least partly their fault. If they hadn't been caught lying so many times then confidence in them wouldn't have been so low - and it's not just little things they lied about remember, they murdered an electrician in cold blood and completely failed to investigate a massive conspiracy that reached into the highest echelons of our power structure. It's not just that bleeding heart liberals with their pesky cameras whined about them being a bit tough on their little darlings in the student protests. They're reaping what they've sewed, at least to some extent.

I haven't been this morbidly fascinated and awed by news footage since the tsunami.

Reports coming in now of the turkish folk in Dalston beating up and chasing away gangs of hoodies!

theres been a has been a couple of really brief ones with nothing much said. I think most of them are having too much fun to be stopping for interviews and most journalists are too scared to be asking. Seems like the only thing that can stop this is the weather
