How many police were around in the early 80's and how much of a reliance was on CCTV in the early 80's? Not sure on the figures but I imagine there were more police and less cameras yet still we had riots.

Got friends and family in both Croydon and Streatham, some of them have told me they are 'arming up' in case the thieves literally come to their doorsteps. If they are not stopped soon do we really think they will stop once all the shops have been done in!?
That footage of the injured kid being robbed is Abso horrific, not seen such a display of a person lacking in human compassion In a while. If I wasn't already Ill it would literally turn my stomach.
Also can we change the title to UK Riots or something? Tottenham riots is tilting and doesn't do the situation justice imo

Fantastic.
Russian TV channel Rossiya 24 says parts of London resembled a "battlefield". Citing Twitter, the Rossiya 24 correspondent claims animals had been released from London Zoo and lions and tigers could now be heard roaring on the streets. This is wearily contradicted by the Zoo's press officer. "It's been very quiet," she tells us.

Obv it's quiet, there are no animals in the zoo anymore! |

About 27,000 in 1984 according to Hansard (via Wikipedia) So some thousands less than we have now without the benefit of CCTV |

Aren't all Blackberry messages routed through the government anyway, should be simple enough to use the info to get there first.
Camden seemed to be a bit more prepared, although it may have just been an educated guess, but there were a few police here first, and all the shops closed early. |

This is now officially Scotland Yard's biggest investigation with 500 detectives on the case. Bigger than 7/7. 11yr old kid arrested yesterday. Insane.

Hopefully they can round up a load of scrotes involved in the riots and probably other stuff. Then if there's any justice, they'll be locked up for a good while. |
