Trouble in peckham?

[tomo]

Just got back from Rye Lane- all seemed calm, most shops shut, and some police patrolling.

The "feds"??? My, we have gone all gangsta.

I have been on Rye Lane today and the only shop that was open was the big Lidl store. Personally felt that the atmosphere was okay at first with shopkeepers and members of the public pulling together.

Just been out and it's a ghost town. Most of the shops on Honor Oak Park have closed. Shame it's such a nice sunny day.

Also just been out - ED rd fine, playground packed with happy children, LL normal and some shops (including co-op until 5pm) still open.

Just spoke to the other half, all quiet on LL though nearly all shops have closed early...CO-OP is open but allowing only allowing a certain amount of people in at a time.

Tense times in ED.

Staggering ignorance: "...yeah it's them innit, whoever it is, it's THEIR fault". Unreal. They've trashed and stolen from a shop. And don't know why.

Solid politics there then.

I just did the 343 thing again from Borough up to Cheltenham Rd and all was quiet. Noticeable police presence in both E&C and Peckham.

Having seen a few riots now with looting etc, I'd say it won't kick off in the same places that have already been hit for the simple reason that if it was worth nicking, it would have been nicked already.

Here's a short vid of the action in Camberwell, shot an hour ago: http://www.twitvid.com/6PC5J

Have now lodged a complaint about being dumped off the bus into the middle of a riot last night. The woman I spoke to was shocked. Wondering which formulaic response the Customer Services team will dish out. Not holding my breath..

The way i see things is thus: i absolutely abhor what is happening in my country. But peckham, brixton and all the other places you could mention have now become a melting pot to place all immigrants. Peckham and brixton have had their problems for years, but it all seemed pretty much sorted until the local councils decided to dump every single nationality on earth on their doorsteps. I in no way condone what has happened, i deplore it. But something major has to happen and now.

[KidKruger]

CPT now boarded up for precaution and Centra (Michaels) grocery closed - I was last customer.

No sign of bovver though. If anything happens surely it'll be when dark.

And the Socialist Workers have got into the act with an incoherent leaflet asking for the impossible.

[SCSB79]

about to head off home from the City to ED via Peckham.

fingers crossed it stays calm for the next 45 mins or so!

Seemed to be the situation when I walked down LL about 5 mins ago too.

[The Minkey]

Why do people think it will happen again where we saw it last night? Did it happen again in Tottenham?

Does this theory hold for the various other ghettos which have seen trouble.. such as Bromley, Fulham, Ealing, Chingford, Balham, Merton, Oxford Circus and Chelsea?

[mockney piers]

Although apparently the rumours of Peterborough kicking off are unfounded. :-/

[mrs f]

We have just been to Dulwich park with the babies & there are certainally no people gathering ready to riot... It is very peaceful.

[lindylou]

hI MRS F. GLAD U HAD A NICE TIME IN DULWICH PARK. BUT THERE AGAIN U HAVEN'T HAD UR BUSINESS BURNED DOWN OR BEEN MADE HOMELESS BECAUSE YOUR FLAT HAS BEEN TARGETTED. THIS IS NOT A JOKE, DON'T TREAT IT AS SUCH.

[Santerme]

What?

I have had a great day too, a normal day, which is what is supposed to happen I thought.

[Loulou]

Why are you all getting snappy with each other? From what I can see most are trying to be helpful, answer queries and pass on information! LL

[StraferJack]

Mrs f there, merely rebutting some incorrect rumors. Only for a barely literate being castigate her for not taking things seriously.

These riots will pass but idiots will always be with us

Is RIOTS what it takes to knock "Your views on Foie Gras" off top spot ?? It's about to slip off the bottom of page 1.

Thomas Mickle - you've been trumped mate !

Now DON'T go getting any ideas...

[ibilly99]

I fancy looting some foie gras but I would need to prise the boards from Nicholas first. Any body fancy joining me ?
