Violence erupted in broad daylight this afternoon as rioters surrounded police vans, looted lorries and targeted shops in a series of attacks across London.
Scores of police raced to Hackney as a mob of hooded youths began hurling missiles at the officers. There was also sporadic violence in nearby Dalston where shops and businesses were attacked and youths clashed with police and set fire to cars outside Lewisham Town Hall.
Other areas of London were braced for violence as shops closed early in Peckham, Stratford and Islington and barriers were erected outside Westfield Shopping Centre. Kilburn High Street has also been closed off.

Your cops need to kill them all and not bother with sorting. People don’t have a right to behave like this and there is no reason for cops to risk their wellbeing trying arrest them.
You are actually right on that, Turkish muslims are far more integrated into society.....however the younger generation especially in these areas of London cause a lot of trouble.
I’m sure you’ll be fine; but keep in touch with your friends at FR!
Thanks, I shall do!
London used to be such a wonderful city. I would walk for hours exploring the city. It was fabulous. But then this was twenty years ago.
Yes it is worrying how a mob mentality can escalate out of control before you know it.
It still is......London is huge but like any big city it has got its ‘areas’.
Yup.
How’s that whole ‘no guns for the law-abiding’ thing working out, again? :P
I have seen photos of whole crowds of white kids who are clearly with the anarchist “anti-globalization” bunch, joyfully participating in the riots, setting up barricades, smashing windows and kicking in doors at McDonalds and trotting around with armsful of goods from stores that they looted.
It obviously started in the black areas, but as usual, the white leftist “youth” crowd has joined in. The same thing happened during the Oakland riots here a few months ago.
I’ve been referencing a lot of Clash songs recently, even this one from Big Audio Dynamite:
From “The Bottom Line”
A dance to the tune of economic decline
Is when you do the bottom line
Nagging questions always remain
Why did it happen and who was to blame?
England Swings like a Pendulum do...
If it gets much worse, it’s going to be a Sex Pistols song - Anarchy In The UK.
Winchester Cathedral, your bring me down....
Yah... I think we’re going to have to start delving into the Sex Pistols’ catalog soon as it gets worse, though.
Had a quick chat with a friend who lives in the Walworth area. Genius that he is, decided to take a quick stroll to see what the business are doing. Everything is basically closed, most boarded up. Not long after he got back they evidently hit Speedy Cash.
There’s trouble in Birmingham apparently......very strange it should spread.......clearly a coordinated effort to cause anarchy.
There’s a rumble in Brighton tonight
Ringside seats for the neighborhood fight,
There ain’t a damn thing that the cops can do,
There’s a rumble in Brighton tonight.
