I was walking around Croydon today and seeing the effects of it in person for the first time really brings it home. I grew up in Croydon borough and to think this has happened here!!! Especially since Croydon in general is quite an affluent area unlike the other riot hotspots of Tottenham, Hackney and Peckham.

Hopefully a police presence of this size can get the job done, if they can`t what`s the next step........the army?
