Are they helping the shop owners? Because I'd be totally ok.

Rumours of them forming protection groups earlier in the day to protect the stores. Meanwhile, every kebab store in London is still open and untouched

At least he can eat the rice when he finds all the stores in his area are burnt out or closed.

Seriousl Question how the fuck are they getting the petrol for the petrol bombs? syphoning it off cars?

also this, what is going on is only going to draw people closer together... people will start looking out for each other it's going to get worse with the public turning on the chavs, rude Boys and the police having to protect and police both..

I bet the locals are worried what might happen to house prices in their areas?

I need to get a house in London in a year or so, could even be in September if I have a problem.. I'm worried all the "nicer" places will go up.. Might just have to commute from home or far for Uni. :(

You are wrong, dude. Clapham Junction IS an area within Clapham. I'm a londoner and I can confirm that. Other people on this thread confirmed that too. SKY NEWS said the same thing and even the official website: http://www.clapham-junction.com. You can't go against all that.

I'm going on what my brother, who used to live in Clapham, told me. You see Liverpool Street on that sign? He said people just refer to the area based on the landmark. That's not what it's officially called.

It really doesn't matter that much anyway.

Anyone confirm rumours of riots spreading North? I know it's kicked off in Birmingham, but loads of crap on Twitter about Manchester, Liverpool (nothing AFAIK and I live here), Sheffield, Leeds etc.

And the world finally came to know the real, ugly truth behind kebab meat.

The international BBC stream now says "Recorded" in the upper corner, and they just seem to keep re-airing older videos from earlier today and tonight. Have they put the live air offline for internationals, or is it the same for you in the UK?

Mr Balls of Steel is at it again.

He's going up to people looting and asking if they're proud?

One woman said she's getting her taxes back. WTF?

Cameron should be calling in the army or instructing the fire brigade to start making impromptu water cannons tonight, not in the morning or next week.

Thatcher wouldn't have stood for this!

Thatcher didn't cut the police. In fact she bolstered numbers and gave them a pay rise in tough economic conditions.

Cameron is a cock who is clueless.

Yup, it doesn't matter at all. :) Just be glad your friends and family are safe. I'm safe too.

If they let the animals out of the zoo? Good, maybe the bears and tigers will eat the rioters.

(In all seriousness, I doubt they could let them out without being killed themselves. They're still wild animals, even if caged.)
