Terrified diners at one of Notting Hill's most upmarket eateries were among those caught up in the riots terror after thugs burst into a restaurant and ripped wedding rings from the fingers of female customers.
The Ledbury in Notting Hill, a favourite dining spot of Kate Moss and Lily Allen, came under attack when 100 masked youths ransacked the restaurant before ripping jewellery and wallets from diners.
The terrifying ordeal was revealed as it emerged that Jamie Oliver's flagship Italian restaurant in Birmingham had also come under attack during disturbances in the Midlands.
News of the attack on the Ledbury first came to light at 11pm last night when Twitter user @harrywilkinson told how his parents' anniversary dinner had been interrupted by looters.
Yobs used furniture to smash their way into the Michelin-starred eaterie before causing 'chaos' as staff tried to usher customers upstairs to safety.

What the hell?
Its going to come here too. We have a ghetto president who throws lavish parties while America gets downgraded. Soon his ghetto followers will start looting and rioting from the “rich”. However, unlike England, Americans are well armed and the rioters wont have as easy a time of it.
Yeah, things will change if these Einsteins ever stop burning down their own neighborhoods and actually travel a few miles to where the elites hob knob.
Geez, how do the English eat steak if they’re not given table knives? Are they only permitted ground mush, lest they overthrow the government with forks?
Imagine how if there was just one youthful American male in that place there would have been injured and dying rioters hither and yon?
Soon the flash-hoods will prey on the wrong people here and/or stay around a bit too long...
Not really. We have something the Brits don't. The 2nd Amendment.
I predict a severe shortage of body bags should the looters try to take their fun to the suburbs.
"Ransacked: The upmarket eaterie, 'Ledbury,' in Notting Hill remained boarded up today after being set upon by looters last night."
Domestic “flash mobs” seem to be having their way thus far, although not on the scale as in England.
I read an article in a British paper that the police are warning they MAY use rubber bullets...
HA HA HA HA HA HA
A few years ago I read a piece (wish I could remember who published it) that asked a participant in the LA Riots why they burned the businesses in their neighborhood and I’ll never forget the response; “because the businesses in the hood take advantage of the black man’s weaknesses.”(Liquor stores, Pawn Shops, etc.) I remember thinking, why isn’t this guy out gunning down the local crack dealer?
“People are seeing images of lines of police literally running away from rioters,” he said. “For young people that is incredibly empowering. They are breaking the rules, they are getting away with it, no one is able to stop them.”

Riots wont last long here. When they see two guys walking down their property with shotguns/machine guns/sniper rifles, they will cut their “rioting” short.
If they threaten the lives of my family, the cops will NOT be called. Ever.
How would have one armed citizen changed this situation?
Be prepared to discuss belt fed weapons.
A BIG, BIG, PLUS!!!!!
They dont have carving knives in the kitchen?...........oh, yeah, I forgot, in the UK you will be charged with murder if you defend yourself from a robber......
