Loads more of these "protests" planned today. Someone is definitely ratcheting things up.

Any coincidence it’s the hottest week of the year?

Looting is a worrying escalation, hopefully it remains localised but with coordinated protests (riots) today/tomorrow plenty of potential for it to get worse :(

Thankfully I’m not working at the car park this weekend

"Tommy Robinson" is openly posting times and locations for mass gatherings over today and tomorrow in multiple UK towns and cities. It'll either be an embarrassing low turnout for them or a major escalation.

When it's people of a different skin tone doing it, I thought looting was a demonstration of a lack of integration and bringing 3rd world habits to our shores? Maybe it's actually more integrated behaviour than we realised.

I think it depends on which shops are being looted.

Apologies… Are you suggesting that’s a position I’ve advocated?

No, just an observation on comments you often see if/when looting occurs (during the London riots, for example).

Sticking your neck out there mate, you’ve missed out the possibility that it’ll be somewhere between the two!

/Frank Lampard Seriously though, I’m worried that it’ll be a significant escalation. I hope it’s an embarrassing damp squib, but people have been whipped up and I’m not sure we’ve seen the worst of it yet

Thankfully I’ve not seen any London/Essex location meet ups mentioned on the piss up and punch up or smash the fash channels so looks like the North will get the brunt of it

Wouldn’t say no to a riot in Walthamstow Village, I could really do with looting a few £6 bars of Tony’s Chocolonely, a coffee table book of photos of East London in the 80s and some craft gin

I have my eyes on that new-ish film memorabilia shop on Hoe Street near the old cinema. If sh*t goes down, there's a Blade Runner poster in there with my name on it.

Bloody hell I went in there the other week and saw an illustrated print of the movie Triangle of Sadness, I was well up for buying it but they wanted 180 sheets for it!

Prices are scandalous. Could be enough to make one deliberately post inflammatory comments to incite unrest on the local fash channels.

While would smirk at it happening in the Village, I've needed to get down to Holland & Barrett all week so if The Mall gets a going over as well that would be quite handy.

The idea of you at Holland and Barrett is maybe more on brand than the idea of me in a blur t shirt having a zero percent lager at an overpriced brewery
