hmm from outside the police station, not sure if that is safe!

I've been reading twitter and Wood Green was looted for over 3 hours with no police presence at all. There's videos of looters queuing up outside JD Sports for their turn :blink:

Are carpets and plasma screens really essential items?

They all think they are getting away with it, but there is CCTV everywhere, which will be reviewed. Ultimately they are hurting themselves, what's going to be left for their community next week when its all calmed down, they will have to drive out of town for everything, that's as long as they still have car's and buses which are not burnt out!
Preferred Cinema's now Paignton or Exeter!
