Just drove through St Ann's in Nottingham, Saw two shops that obv had their doors kicked in yesterday. There was also a fairly menacing looking group of about 20 guys just loitering around a couple of hundred yards up from the health centre.

Oops I came across a bit wrong for a change. These kids don't just wake up and go "let's go fecking mental". They don't need much of an excuse to go rampaging through the street and the police continually provide them with a reason. The police and politicians are completely out of touch with the younger generation. It's not just the poorly educated ones either. The uni riots started out as a peaceful protest and I thought that all kicked off with the police killing an innocent by stander. I agree with the woman in the video as she makes more sense than anyone. Protest for a reason that's worth fighting for not because you want some trainers

Sounds pretty standard. I bet the yobs in the Meadows will want to show that they can outdo those from St Ann's.

Also, Forest v County match tonight. Not sure that's the best idea in the world.

Dunno about that, I drive through there most days and I've never seen a big gang like that hanging around.

Manchester Police have their own twitter @gmpolice, people were tweeting them earlier today saying it is kicking off. They replied

Reports of 'stand off' between gangs and police in Salford exaggerated. 20 or so youths dispersed by police - one brick thrown, no injuries

18 minutes ago
»

No this is another rumour - all quiet in city centre at present, no evacuations

29 minutes ago

My mate is in Wythenshaw and he assures me it has already kicked off there.

So i hate to think what 'a small portion' by their definition is...

The officers being sent to London represent only a small portion of those within GMP

Police knocked at the door to advise we put the shutters down but i don't have any. So far really quiet but it's apparently kicking off in the eastern district of Northampton and they are expecting them to come into town this way.

Milton Keynes Debenhams was also apparently looted this afternoon.

I say we wait until tomorrow then go and burgle the looters while they are sleeping - easy haul imo.

So far very very quiet, reports of gangs in Wellingborough refuted by the police, they are saying that it's all being escalated by facebook and absolutely nothing happening locally at all.

I actually want my garage to come down so sort of hoping someone sets light to it. ;-)

pretty much constant noise of police sirens outside here last 15 minutes or so. more reassuring than the shouting and hollering of groups of vandals I suppose.

Just come through Salford. No issues that I could see, but diverting all buses away from their normal routes to main roads only.
