Have seen 185, 40 and 176 buses running up LL so some getting through this direction anyway.

Several mentions of the use of BBM in steering some of the actions. There's a Guardian mention here. Several media callers, lay and journo, have all said the same thing, about broadcast messages, sometimes well in advance of actions.


Jim, calling in to BBC London, who witnessed the break-ins to ED Road Tesco and Costcutter, was of the opinion that they otoh were just a spontaneous spread away from the police presence in Peckham. He also mentioned a lone police car just passing by, probably sensibly as the two officers on board would have been seriously outnumbered.


Some reports generally of attacks on potential witnesses who happened to have cameras or phones ready or in use, so do be aware of this. Remember too, if it does come to it, that a single hair, skin under the nails, fingerprint or DNA on a dropped article, are all potentially identificatory evidence.

Deputy mayor "I just don't want to see the army on the street - i'm sure the police can handle this if they get the space to operate" - doofus! what is wrong with water cannons and tear gas??? these "people" are wrecking our community, London's tourism, the future of the Olympics (and subsequent tourism) and desperate loss of control....

      I can assure you I am neither a DJ or toff but have always referred to it as Glasto...do you have an issue with that? In fact I was doing Glasto long before the toffs started going but haven't done it in a while because the last one I went to felt all a bit Coachella (which is by far the worst "festival" I have ever had the pleasure of attending). The point remains that festivals have no place in densely populated urban areas and I do worry that the monetisation of our public spaces means we can expect more and more in future and our councils ignoring the input of local residents and they go chasing the filthy lucre!

      A lot of shouting outside on Rye Lane now and pointless me topping up weekend supplies at Tesco as it will have been cleaned out.   I hate this weekend Maybe someone could design streets so they don't transmit sounds - I hear every conversation on street level from the 4th floor never mind the shouts and screams, And why do taxis beep there horns at the festival goers.

      Glasto?  Who calls it Glasto?  You certainly aren't an old hippy.  It's been coined by radio DJs and toffs - Glyndo anyone?  Henlo?? Hollando???  Yes this is an irrelevant post.
