turpsAs many people will know London has been hit by rioting the last few days, and it's been spreading out, reaching other cities now.
It's nowhere near where I live, but it's horrible to watch. People who've lost their homes and jobs, buildings going up in flames and buses targeted. Finally the PM has come home from his holidays, but I'm sure for many people it's too little, too late. Yesterday I was reading tweets and posts from friends who were close to the riots and their fear was so obvious.
Today my twitter time line is full of plans for a clean up and I hope this means things are calming down. And that people like Joel Madden will stfu and stop making over simplified tweets about the situation.
ETA: Mentioning Joel because I follow him, and he annoyed me big style this morning.
