Just a quick message to hope no-one here has been affected. Rumours of it in Birmingham and potentially Bristol are a little worrying.

Just hoping the guys in London are all good, I've heard of trouble in Peckham which I feel like Ceri may be near by. But I might be wrong.

Keep yourselves safe out there guys!

The video footage evokes scenes from "Soylent Green" or the newest cinematic installment in the "Planet Of The Amps" franchise.

one of our companies shops was looted last night, and a few shops down the road from mine was looted, been hearing sirens all night.

these are not protests by the way, it's looting under the pretence of protesting.

I suspected it was a ruse all along.

Stay safe, Rob.

Trouble in Birmingham, Bristol, Liverpool, Manchester and Nottingham now,,,,police station burned down in Birmingham...idiots!

It's just people who have seen the first group do it and think they can get away with being yobs, they don't care about the guy who was shot by police.

I'd be surprised if any of the miscreants even knew the man's name.

Unreal, these scumbags should be utilised in the armed forces as a human shield for our soldiers.

Hi Guys: I was caught up in the middle of some of this last night, escorting my wife home safely. Amazing: nothing remotely like this has happened in this country in 200 years. I'm old enough to have seen the riots of 1981 with my own eyes, but this is something else entirely.

We expect to see this stuff on our TV screens from other countries far away, not filmed live from helicopters right above our roofs. Incredible that nobody has yet died. It has to be brought under control right now or there's no knowing where it will lead.

Cheers - C

I hope all of you stay safe and that this starts to die down quickly. It sounds like things are completely out of control over there.

Stay safe to all our friends across the water, but hey look on the bright side, if the system of anarchy is right and the concept of cycles is accurate, London will flourish after this.
