London Riots

Wow, after three nights of crazy behaviour, riots, endless looting and a shameful amount of damage to buildings and material possessions, London, as well as the rest of the country braces itself for what could be another night or fearful terror.

At this stage, the concern is that this will never end. And with the softly-softly approach that the police and the government are adopting, it won't. One more night in London alone and the whole place will be ruined. Already livelihoods of individuals and long term family businesses have been ruined, destroyed and burnt, despite claims that the purpose is to attack the big commercial companies.

Londoners especially want more, the army, water cannons, anything that will show that we are not weak. London is our city too. From afar I suddenly feel so saddened that my home city is half in flames.

Today we are waiting on news from the government officials and their decisions on what to do. We know that an extra 10,000 police officer are being deployed to London, but what if there is more trouble outside the capital? It surely cannot be allowed to happen one more night...

We just heard this on BBC WORLD. In an interview with two 17 year olds. The girls were drinking in Croyden, drinking 'free booze, innit and proclaimed they were rebelling 'against the rich people and the government, conservative/labour...whatever'. Despicable.

On a positive note, Londoners are fighting back and getting ready to clean their streets, but not without being scared of it all erupting one more time.

 I can see a late night ahead as I am glued one more time to the news.

Clearly the perpetrators will not learn the error of their ways and grind to a halt. Urgent action is the only thing that will stop this. Come on England, less talk, more rigorous action.
