All very sad.. I cycled home yesterday evening from the city through Burgess Park and was pursued for a few minutes by a bunch of angry kids shouting and swearing at me to surrender my bike. I just laughed it off and kept on going, struck by the age and boisterous nature of the group, it wasn't until I put the tv on and events startedto unfokd tgat I realised just how serious the situation was... And particularly glad I chose not to confront them.. Working from home today as I don't fancy taking any risks out there. Sorry to hear about those caught up in the midst of it all, hopefully no more. Some people are critical of The Met for not taking a tougher stance but not sure what else they could have done to prevent a bad situation from descending into Hellish chaos. It's an impossible task, branded for being too heavy-handed over recent summit demos and now for not ploughing on in there. Regardless of what anyone may say, I salute them...
