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....

    • Just wanted to let you all know that Dulwich Antiques is serving free takeaway coffee (Old Spike), tea and hot chocolate all day every Sunday. We’re open today till 5pm.  Dulwich Antiques, 3 Upland Road. Hopefully see you there! Rachel & Conrad 
    • But is it the Village councillors who are maintaining the board, or someone else? When the boards in East Dulwich were installed, it wasn't the councillors who kept the information up to date, it was Monica from Health Matters, who was greatly involved in various  community matters (eg the building of the community garden at what was then Dulwich Hospital). I can't remember if it was her who initiated the installation of the boards in the first place. She no longer lives in East Dulwich, and nobody else appears to be willing to liaise with the councillors and community related organisations  to take this on for the various East Dulwich boards.  It would hardly take much effort. Basic information doesn't frequently change (and no, I'm not volunteering. I am overstretched as it is). It's all very well to  get a physical  community notice board spruced up, but not much use if it then isn't being used for its intended purpose. And I can't see that it is part of a councillor's job to update notice boards which they didn't initiate in the first place. I'm sure they have more than enough to do.  The notice boards serve (or did do) a useful service, but all the information which could be put on them is surely available elsewhere. (Unless it is bringing to people's attention things which are of use/interest to them and they weren't aware they needed/would like, or didn't know how else to find the information). ETA: Oh. I've just read the beginning of this thread. I'd forgotten how it started. It's gone well off topic, hasn't it. Probably just as well, reading the OP.
    • The board in the Village (just near the pub) is in pristine condition, full of council-related information (though someone had stuck a flyer on the glass, now removed). Maybe the councillors there actually CBA to make use of a facility that took time, effort and taxpayers’ money to instal?
