We have all seen the footage. Those who live in London are fully aware of the extent of the rioting and I do not need to comment on or add to the extensive coverage in blogs and the media. David Allen Green, on his Jack of Kent blog, has covered the issues and Laurie Penny on her blog, also.
What I will say… This widely circulated picture of Clapham Junction this morning – not far from where I live in Battersea – from @Lawcol888 is excellent.….. *Applauds*
Ooo, I was in that crowd. BY the time we got onto the streets to clean the Wandsworth contractors had been trhough and the place was spotless!
Best picture of the day. And thank you, Sean.
Sean… good on you for trying!
Great picture. We have seen examples of the worst the UK has to offer but we have also seen examples of the best. I also loved this picture:

Please do more ‘due diligence’ about your postings. This picture has provoked much controversy elsewhere.
Well said, and a brilliant picture to go with it. It just goes to show that despite all the violence and horrible scenes that we saw during the riots, the sense of community that inspired the clean-up operations stood strong throughout. It’s great to see a positive come out of such a negative series of events in the UK.
