Warning For London Ladies!!

[KayteeB]

hi girls

well as i have a facebook and blackberry im constantly being updated about riots that are meant to be taking place so i thought i would give you all a warning on the information thats coming through to me. Im not sure if its true or not but seeing as many of you have children and all of you are heavily pregnant i thought it was right to inform you

Riots supposedly to take place tonight in:

Wandsworth/Southside Shopping Centre
Clapham Junction
Tooting


Stay Safe!!xxx

I know I am gonna sound like a complete idiot but haven't watched the news in a couple of days (we don't get newspapers) and suddenly there is all this about riots and I've been on the BBC news website but there is nothing about why they're happening... can someone please explain it to me?

 

[Periwinkle]

My husband's train home goes through Clapham Junction, hope that's not affected. Scary stuff!

 

[KayteeB]

there have been riots all over london where shops have been looted, fires, its been crazy! if you look up on google you'll see the images and videos. It looks like WW3 has errupted in London. there's talk of bringing in the army xx

 

[SilverWillow]

What has set all the riots off then? What are they protesting about?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-14412752 this is what happened that made people want to protest and then the peaceful protests turned into the riots

Riots have kicked off in hackney

 

[Maman]

well ive asked my fil not to go to play his gig tonight and hes told us hes going anyway

 

[Periwinkle]

The fact that there's one at the fecking Southside Centre is so blatant - looting ahoy! Why not just have it at Westfield and be done with it...

My husband's train home goes through Clapham Junction, hope that's not affected. Scary stuff!

Yeah mine too, although it's only 1 in every 4 trains that come to us that stop at Clapham, so hopefully he'll miss it.

Oxford Circus is a target too I believe. My hubby is working one street away

ugh god those rioters need to get a life. most of them are just kids who have nothing to do with the original protest.

its this kinda crap that makes me hate this country.
WHO THE HELL GOES OUT WITH A PICK AXE?!

we need to seriously sort out the scum in this country.

 

[Lau88]

Also it's Barking, Ilford ROmford and stratford apparently.

croydon is suposedly being evacuated and stores being boarded up.. i dont know how true all thats on our local news is that the local council has given letters out warning them all about the potintial (sp) riots.

 

[Robiloo]

This isn't actually anything to do with the killing of that person by police though, they're keeping it out the news a lot but its black youth's, some as young as 13, looting and rioting and some women have even been raped. Now they are bringing the army in to control it, our police wanna grow some balls for once and take charge.. useless..

 

[emyandpotato]

What has set all the riots off then? What are they protesting about?

This is what I wanna know

 

[fieldmouse]

I can't believe what is happening in London - it just seems to have got completely out of control. Who are these people?! They are not protesting about the shooting, they are just using the event as an excuse to go on a rampage. It's disgusting. I love London and it's sad to be reading about it because of this. I hope it all gets sorted and that all you Londoners stay safe.

 

[htaylor]

a man was killed in totnam (awful spelling) by the police on thursday and there was a peacful protest which turned into a riot...


and then a bunch of kids have taken this oppertunity to go fuckin' nuts!
