NPR (here in the US) has had some pretty good coverage of the problems and they sound scary.

They will decide today if they are going to read the Riot Act - most people think its just a phrase - its actually a proper Act - A man on a horse reads the riot Act and if the crowd does not disperse then the army is sent in - if anyone gets hurt or dies then it is on their own back as they were given fair warning to disperse - all pomp and circumstance even in the face of rioters! I love being English!

These events are awful, scarring our national reputation and ruining lives and livelihoods. The original, quiet protest was hijacked by people who saw an opportunity to loot and wreck, we've seen pictures of people just carrying stuff out of shops, as if they'd bought it..no hurry or conscience. Shocking and so scarey for friends in these areas. They don't call the Polic Forces the 'thin blue line' for nothing..shows that there's very little between civilisation and anarchy.Julia Dunnithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02164574850662878118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-42599973399022539982011-08-09T02:22:44.518-05:002011-08-09T02:22:44.518-05:00Thank you for those kind thoughts.

We are about 4 miles from the nearest trouble, and the news reports are absolutely shocking.
