http://thewestlondoner.wordpress.com/2011/08/08/more-london-disturbances-tonight/ is a good place to keep ontop of it, however he's getting over-run with info it seems.
Found another link to that video, Si. (Takes a while to show up) I applaud that woman.
And apparently Cameron is flying back to London. From the BBC: "The prime minister is returning early from holiday to chair a meeting of the government's emergency committee Cobra."
A Wikileaks tweet: "Wretched media coverage on London protests from BBC to Al Jazeera. Not a single protester interviewed. Absolutely pathetic."
Does anyone know what the hell they're talking about? Are there protests going on somewhere, instead of riots? I've read about reporters fleeing from stuff being hurled at them.
Al Jazeera currently interviewing an eyewitness to a Croydon fire. They're apparently having difficulties getting enough people out on the street to report.
