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?

Sounds like things are getting worse in Brixton too. Also claims of problems at Westfield Shopping centre.

Imagine this happening next year!

Why isnt this being reported? Good sources say there has been sustained bottling of police and running battles down Coldharbour lane all evening, a retail park in Barnet has been looted and there are hundreds of youths marauding around White City and circling Westfields shopping centre...

Map showing things which there is photographic proof for (blue), rumours (green), violence (red), and areas where more trouble has been reported (blue pins) :( It's looking bad

It is now in the Guardian.

The media control us, or at least the thought police do. Don't panic the masses. keep it all hushed up Hmm

ObviouslyOblivious · 07/08/2011 23:39

I'm really quite disturbed by how wide reaching this seems to be and how long it could go on for :(

I'm also going to bed, to cuddle DP and listen to DS breathing.

Stay safe all, and good night.

MagicFingerGoesPop · 07/08/2011 23:40

Does that map autoupdate?

Night night Ivor

I was on here moaning about the 6000 Travellers that had picked our area to hold a christian festival last week, they caused a massive police pressence & some damage/violence, I feel like a wuss now.

Stay safe x

Claims that KFC in Waltham Cross is on fire, no photos however. Seems to be theme to these rumours!

Sainsburys (from that link) has also been broken into. There is a photo as well.

BulletWithAName · 07/08/2011 23:51

Ahhh not right on top of the market, but about half a mile away, where they live (and where I grew up) has a notorious gang presence so I'm hoping the idiots don't start down their bloody road...
