Notting Hill Diary
Diane Abbott, writing in the Evening Standard, demanded a curfew to deal with "these young people, who seem to have no stake in society"; on the same page, diners at the "Michelin-starred Ledbury gastropub" in Notting Hill were locked into a wine cellar to escape a "brutal invasion". Murmured one: "I was kind of hoping to finish the rest of my tasting menu, but all the broken glass and turned-over tables probably wasn't conducive to a nice dining environment"...I was sad to see the cheese cart which had glass littered over it. So much cheese gone to waste."
Another resident of the borough, by contrast, observed: "Bruv and I hit the street at nightfall, a bit upset that the Gate hadn't figured on the map so far, but thank God! there at the end of the Grove was the army, checking their blackberries and clutching copies of Banalites de base. Lovely fellas! We could see their tight little buns underneath the baggies, and one of 'em was holding a placard: The Best Thing Is, Never To Have Been Born. Ain't seen anything like it since Nechayev..."
Riot roundup on Mute
Thanks very much!
