Just heard from a friend on Facebook that Palmers Green, Southgate, Winchmore Hill and Cockfosters are apparently likely to be targeted again. Shops, local businesses and banks in the area have been told to close early by the police and they want people out of the areas by 4pm! Not sure how true this is, but my friend's husband asked at the bank and was told they were all under advice to close. Apparently 21 on the Green was targeted today during daylight hours.
Sorry, guys, but it looks like we need to prepare for another night of madness.

I was watching some of the coverage of the rioters and looters in Hackney and later discussed it with a friend. He gave voice to a thought that had crossed my mind too: if this goes on much longer, consideration should perhaps be given to bringing in the army.
The police seem to be barely holding the line against the mindless rioters and if it spreads further, the police may not have the numbers to cope. I hope it doesn't come to that, but I hope equally the flatfooted authorities are making contingency plans.
Was just discussing exactly the same thing with my mum - how bad does it have to get before they're brought in?
