LONDON RIOTS

After the worst night of rioting in living memory, London this morning wakes up to the remains of cars, home and businesses destroyed by mindless thugs. For me, it was a waste of time going to work. Not because my business was damaged but because the customers simply kept away. People were scared for their safety and only ventured out for distress purchases and things that they can’t live without.

The most striking thing was all the peoples stories that have been told to me today. Most acts of violence don’t get reported and those who commit crimes either get caught or not, however if a major supermarket had 50 people break into it and steal all the electrical goods, that would be very big news. However, that is something that did happen last night and it went un-reported. Major shopping areas like East Ham, Barking, Romford and Ilford had riots in their towns but the press failed to mention it. A retail park security guard was beaten up and slashed with a knife because these idiots felt that he would have the keys to all the shops. He’s alive but in hospital recovering from his injuries. None of these and many more stories have gone unreported in the press and in some cases, unsupported by the police who were clearly dealing with even bigger issues.

However, this changed a little today. A few thugs tried to cause trouble and when I called the police, I had a Terminator 2 moment. When asked, how many people arrived, I said, ” All of the I think” Very impressed with the response and I’m told by some of the officers that things will be different tonight. Lets hope so. I certainly love seeing those pictures of people cleaning up the city together.

However, it would appear that it’s another night of terror in the UK and Manchester appears to be having its turn tonight. All my business can do now is close early and board up the windows and just get through tonights events.

The London riots are shocking and up to today, something I watched on TV and updated on Twitter or Facebook. However, all that changed today when I had to evacuate my business due to the threat of attack. The threat was real and actually happend to a business across the retail park, causing thousands of pounds of damage and stealing thousands of pounds of stock with knifes and baseball bats.

I managed to evacuate before it happened to me and my team are out safe and sound. I know that the riot police are out trying to deal with it but their is a clear lack of direct action being taken. I’m watching the 24 hour news channel and it would appear that London is falling to the scum of society and nobody is taking charge in prevent it.

As Tottenham, Enfield, Hackney, Peckham, Beckton, Ilford, Barking, Croydon are appearing on the news with burning cars, hoodies with rocks and masks across their face, I’m starting to wonder where will it go next and when will it end?

I sent a message to Number 10 on Twitter moments ago asking for action to be taken.  I firmly believe that the Army need to take control.  I’m not sure its too much to shoot looters and the scum of the earth destroying London right now.  The kids that have been hanging around the streets being anti-social for the past 10 years or so are now clearly out in the open and now need to be taken out of our society. If animals attack like this we would do the same. These are not people but animals and should be dealt with in the same way.

The right to protest is just that. A right.  But what we see here tonight is trouble making animals that want anarchy and a free TV.

Come on Prime Minister.

Get your arse back from holiday and take charge.
