Enfield riots?

916 replies

Just seen on Twitter and in a few articles like this, that there are meant to be plans for a riot in Enfield tonight and riot police are in the town centre?

Used to live there, and got family there (luckily a fair distance from the centre), but fucking hell! What the hell is going on?

They didn't torch greggs I see.

Jesus, she lives in Peckham Rye. I'll try calling her again.

Thanks all.

chocs i think the gregs will be knackered by default - that was a serious fire.
Obnoxio - they have no sense - nowhere is safe. we are staying in with all the locks bolted.
although i saw a very funny tweet earlier about the Milwall crowd "getting" any rioters who dare touch Manze's

Birmingham is also full of police and rioters

"Mr Clegg has told a town hall meeting of guests invited by London radio station LBC that recalling Parliament is not a priority: "I totally back the very brave police officers.. and that's the priority right now, not politicians talking to each other at Westminster.""

So.. Londoners can stay and be scared, we're all off to hide somewhere out of London?

The thing is, the Police are in a double bind situation. If they go in hard, they get accused of being the agressor; if they sit back, people complain that they have done nothing.

In regards to Greggs, I maust confess to a penchant for sausage roll. They are like and angel dancing on your tongue :)

We need Wendi to open up a can of whoop slap/ass on those twits.

Are the tubes affected?
DH is not home yet

TheMonster · 08/08/2011 20:29

Chardonnay for me.

Obnoxio · 08/08/2011 20:29

Just a really hard day and the alternative is to cry and take comfort in a bar of Dairy Milk.

Mmmmmm, Dairy Milk.

But I have a fat arse so the latter is a big no no. That said, I live by the adage that, 'If you don't sin Jesus died for nothing'. Justifies most things :)

They're moving rioters along and spreading the trouble : it's moved from Peckham to East Dulwich.

TheMonster · 08/08/2011 20:31

Obnoxio, that's fab Grin where did you hear it?

@ BodyOfEeyore. Mainly from me, on a week-end, when I'm eating a whole tub of Caramel Chew-chew :)

And another thing, the minute I see a jogger smiling; that's when I'll take it up!
