Thanks Lalalinda, I will stay safe

No, I'm not in Tottenham; I live in the other side of London.

The riots & looting started in Tottenham last night and have now spread to many areas of South, East and North London. I've read reports of looting in Birmingham and Manchester.

It's crazy.

It was gonna happen at some point.

People have been sick of things for a couple of years now. The young ones are disillusioned and filled with resentment. There is no longer an external enemy to project hatred onto so they start on the symbolic representations of oppression, ie the government and police.

I think it's a sad state of affairs but this could be seen coming a mile off and nothing was done.

this is really terrible.

i've been trying to purchase supplies from a company located in London, but today the customer service emailed me and said they cannot process stuff because they have to shut down early for the day. i don't know which district they are located, but it's not good that they have to take safety precautions. i hope everyone stays safe.

and liverpool.

sadly, and maybe saddest, is the fact that the young white supremacists are among the most active, especially in liverpool, where they claim to be " the only still-white city in england" and are vowing to DO AWAY with the "half-breeds and niggers" who are "responsible" for pretty much everything that is wrong with the world and britain today.

these are far from the first riots the english have seen. take heart deliverance, the brits are made of steel...as you must know, just reminding you.

a friend of mine who lives in peckham happened by some youths trashing the local tesco...which she boycotts out of principle...and she up and told them to STOP IT! for which she received some heavy threats and being who she is, she warned them not to try it unless they wanted to get hurt worse...and now is wondering "what was i thinking?" but apparently they were not bold enough to bash her for it.

which gives one an inkling of what could be done were there enough boldies like herself out and about...

I could see the smoke from Enfield rising this afternoon & I'm about six miles from there..!

People see the Egyptians and the Greeks rising up & maybe they want to copy that?
Or is it the first consumerism based riots we are seeing now?

It seems like rioting/looting has now stopped (thank God)and the clean-up has begun. Yes, the Brits are indeed a resilient bunch Katatonic.

I hope all the UK members & their families have stayed safe during this crazy time.
