GTA Wiki has yielded no information. Awaiting results of a full investigation.

Well it depends on the British equivalent of the FBI, I know it's either MI5 or MI6, but I don't know which is internal and which is external.

I'm watching the live coverage on the BBC website.

About 215 people have been arrested since saturday.

Fuck this shit, I wish the police would get some fucking balls and tear gas all the selfish wankers doing this. I think its warranted given the situation, they are setting london on fire for fuck sake.

Enough is enough. Hell I'd be happy with getting the army involved to help control the situation if it continues to get out of hand.

Chavs, as I believe they're called, are apparently trying to start the second great fire of London so they can get away with theft.

[Bytecry]

Shit. They're in Ealing.

Twitter are saying its a non fatal shooting (according to Sky). Waiting for Sky to come back from a break, adverts at the moment.

They don't have these things though, which is a problem.

Fresh off the BBC's live feed.

"Local residents in Clapham are telling me that parts of Lavender Hill are now a no-go zone. Groups of people have been turning up with their faces covered. I am told that residents cannot see any police officers. They are deeply concerned."

The police are spread way too thin to engage the rioters probably.

Oh god. Sister just showed me a photo of a tiger on the road.

[chaz13]

Ah brilliant, riots starting 5 minutes away in feltham.

[Clark21]

this reminds me a bit of the warriors game where a blackout happens and everybody goes crazy and uses it as an excuse to start looting everywhere lol

[strayebyrd]

I wish the British population could actually perform a coherent protest for once

Oh christ, time to start calling my mates..

[B-hazard]

Isleworth, Ealing, and Croydon are all on either side of where I live and not too far, and they are all burning right now. I think I can see smoke from my window. I'm more worried that a lot of my friends are stuck slap bang in the middle of the riots though, one of them has the Sky helicopter over his house right now.

[Fr3ddi3]

Get things striaght, these wankers do not warrant the name protestors, they are oportunist dickheads ruining innocent peoples lively hoods, it's getting fucking insane.

There was a coherent protest for a bit then presumably someone got bored and saw the ideal tinderbox to set London on fire.

[RainbowStalin]

As long as people stay in their homes they should be fine, theres no reports of them breaking into homes.

That said keep something heavy near you, can never be too careful.

Also apprently Ealing shopping centre is on fire.

[ragawaga]

I just heard a shooping centre is on fire. what the fuck

It looked on the news like that was hijacked, same with this it seems. This was apparently a peaceful vigil that got hijacked.
