Leeds has remained un touched, the only so called "trouble" in the Chapletown area fizzed out when the police turned up and everyone went home.

I image all the "feds" were going to Elland Road as it was a local derby in the football between Leeds and Bradford

Big police presence in Leeds city centre tonight. Client Co offices and others in the area told to shut up and clear out before 5pm. reports of fight breaking out near one of the big shopping centers.

Local derby match tonight as well Leeds vs Bradford at Elland Road.

Northerners are always behind Londoners. I expect the rioting to spread to Devon sometime next October.

There's lots of sirens around me at the moment and I live in a quite surburban area outside of the city. Think I may take to the street with my shotgun.

There were "small pockets of disorder" in Leeds last night.

One man shot in the face and a vehicle burnt out.

Probably not out of the ordinary for Chapeltown at the weekend, but on a Monday?

On a more serious note, our country was attacked the last time we were diverting major police resources around the country to deal with scumbags.

Maybe they've organised some awayday trips for the local scum who've complained about it being a breach of their human rights not to be allowed down to join the party.

"I have every faith in the police to robustly handle the situation in all our towns and cities while offering support to London."

No idea who said it but I bet someone did.

Riot in Leeds

Because there isn't going to be any police.

Mrs MF is on the way to Newcastle and was approaching Leeds when one convoy of 20 police vans were heading in the opposite way blues and twos going. 5 minutes later, she counted another 15 vans going.

If there's one thing the Leeds police force is going to want to show is that they're better than the Met. I can see a lot of people getting a serious kicking tonight in London if they try it on again.

In the meantime, we;re meeting outside Currys in the St Johns shopping centre in Leeds, bring a scarf.
