Riot in Hackney!

It's not the rioters who worry me, it's the trigger happy bedsit owners

That's not me then, I am still renting

Poor Londoners, I can see the house prices plummeting around the riot areas. London joins Baghdad, Kabul and Jerusalem as places you dont wan't to go/live.

What's this world is coming to.... Wandsworth next?

Wandsworth does have a big housing estate.

So does Battersea right next to Clapham Junction station.

I know it's near and above Southside shopping centre. The housing there tends to be social housing.

Maybe I should text my nephew and tell him to go on the bus to join in if it kicks off there. I fancy some food from Waitrose......

The cops do seem to be dealing with the issue with a light hand. Where's all the riot control gear like water cannon, baton rounds, tear gas etc?

Cops standing around while buildings, cars, busses are set alight
