Well, a lot of people want to know where I am in relation to the London riots, so I've print-screened this Google Map view of London. One of the worse bits, Croydon is too far South to be on the map, but there was a huge fire there last night. My position is the blue/purple flower thing, and directly to the right of that, N-- Park and ---enham, are actually Wood Green and Tottenham. These are the areas that were attacked the first night. My friend Rachel got stuck in Wood Green on the way home and they stole her phone while she was using it. It was sick. In Wood Green they smashed shop windows and cars and stole a lot of stuff, because Wood Green is a major shopping area. I don't know much about Tottenham, but they set buildings on fire. Tottenham is the heart of it all, where the residents are mad that some guy got shot, but I suppose in their small brains they thought the best reaction was to completely trash their own neighbourhoods and plummet its value. The riots now raging all over town, I suspect, are due simply to the unemployed youths from working-class backgrounds and single parents who had them for the housing and monetary benefits going batshit insane. More on that later.
