Oliver Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 Fulham Broadway is fine. I just ran up there and its dead quiet. One hooded gang walked past me from the direction towards Clapham Junction, but there's no sign of cars alight or looting.
Paid Members PunkStep Posted August 9, 2011 Paid Members Posted August 9, 2011 (edited) really? It's been quiet as anything. Although I won't see the high street until morning Nothing major from what I read: Workers at Best Buy on Harlesden High Street fought off attempts to enter their shop from a gang of around 20 thieves, alleged to be aged 13-26, carrying bits of wood from nearby shop fronts and stolen wooden mops. http://www.wbtimes.co.uk/news/harlesden_tr..._shops_1_988261 00:54 Tue 9 Aug Fulham Broadway is fine.

Awards Moderator Frankie Crisp Posted August 9, 2011 Awards Moderator Posted August 9, 2011 twitter posts are now saying its 300+ people mate, Footage of rioters in upper parliament street... Near the womens hospital car park My brother's had friends texting him saying that L1 has had trouble. I really hope not. So much work has been put into that city centre over the last decade or so, and to potentially have it destroyed by idiots would be a great shame. My mum works around Toxteth, so we know a good amount of people in that part of the city. Doesn't sound too fun at the moment. Still nothing concrete in terms of reports about incidents in Leeds, just people reporting about Chapeltown shooting from earlier today and thinking it's a recent (within the last hour) event. Shit. Thanks boys. My Auntie is shitting herself now as she knows how close this is to where another two of my cousins live. I'm meant to be in town for a meeting tomorrow so I dread to think what state it'll be in when I get there.
rohpete Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 Echo confirm it LivEchonews Liverpool Echo Sorry to confirm #liverpoolriots 150 people in Lodge Lane / Smithdown Road area of Liverpool - pics and story to follow asap
Paid Members Wretch Posted August 9, 2011 Paid Members Posted August 9, 2011 Righto. I live at Marco Island, just up the road. Thankfully it all seems pretty quiet. Talking to the guy in our building about how they'd lock the place down if it gets there. Potential safe place if things *do* kick off. I figure it would have by now if it was going to though. Thank fuck the centre is locked down, no way they'll get in here! It'll be daylight by the time I get out of here anyway.
LiamTheGreat Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 Nothing major from what I read: Cheers for that. To be fair, Harlesden can get like that most weeks. That's why our rozzers had that shit on lock

MoistVaj Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 Channel 847 on Sky. Some random Indian channel has a live feed from Soho Road, and a presenter complaining that the police are too blame for all of this.
Paid Members PunkStep Posted August 9, 2011 Paid Members Posted August 9, 2011 Add Waltham Cross to the list, which means this has now spread to Hertfordshire. Apparently Clinton Cards & JD Sports at Brookfield Farm (Cheshunt) were smashed up by a couple of gangs earlier, but police quickly restored order.

Also the Sony depot at Enfield Lock is apparently in flames.
WU LYF 4 LYF Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 Main shopping centre St Stephens is surrounded by police in Hull just in case, things are about to kick off according to some people I know.

BBC News have just confirmed that police are advising people to stay away from town. As I flicked over, I think I heard them say something was starting in Manchester?

You're right, for some reason that riot watch thing on Google Maps only added that incident about 45 mins ago. Strange. Yeah I saw about the Sony depot. Seems to be the only thing going down in that part of the A10 stretch. My sisters house in Waltham Abbey got egged earlier, but I don't think that constitutes as rioting.

Although like everything else it could just be gossip at the min
