The London riots, what do you remember 10 years on?

[54321nought]

I was teaching in London then. Mostly I remember the drip drip drip drip as days and weeks and months later, students were arrested and charged, and some never returned to school. The crime rate went down, it was the safest it had ever been locally for a long time. I also remember the smell of smoke that lasted weeks

It was hands down one of the most terrifying things I've ever experienced, we often go through peckham and they look at the wall with all the post it's that were left and they ask about it and I've told them, so it is a story for them to tell.

I remember hearing about it on the news. I was at work, working as a nurse in A&E. It was a hospital in a small town. As the riots spread out of London, I was worried it would arrive at work. I was pretty sure the small village I lived in would be safe but I wasn't so sure about work.

I was disgusted by it.
