It's just pathetic, totally infuriated by the whole pointlessness of it all. A furniture shop in Croydon that has been there for over 70 years, randomly burnt to the ground. That's a family business that's now been left with nothing, because apparently people are just 'bored' and disenchanted with life in London.

We've been told to just lock our windows and doors, we're not allowed to leave because it's 'too dangerous'. Buses and trains have stopped running so people are pretty much stranded in areas overrun with hooded little rats. It's gotten way out of hand and there aren't enough metropolitan police to deal with the problem, so they're having to call reinforcements in from Surrey and Sussex.

I heard it's reached Birmingham and Leeds, that's worrying.

What I'm saying may sound exaggerated to those outside of the trouble, but depressingly it isn't.
