Strong rumour Cameron will resign at 10.00am
Very strong rumour that his own party will seek either change in policies or change in leader......

Armed police surrounding the private homes of members the cabinet

Yes, and everyone else's 'private' home can farking burn. Still probably not worth cutting your family holiday short over.

just saw this on the beeb:

Three people were arrested on Tuesday on suspicion of attempted murder after a police officer was injured by a car in Brent, north west London, while trying to stop suspected looters.
FFS, just shoot a few more of them. I doubt anyone would care, and it'd prove that the Guv are tough on crime, and tough on the causes of crime, innit.

David Cameron "I am granting the Metropolitan Police emergency powers to use water cannons, baton rounds and tear gas to take back control of our streets from these thieving parasites biting the hand that feeds them. In addition I am deploying Basil as a visible presence to provide the authority that is so very lacking.".. Carlsberg don't do Prime Ministers but if they did

Just got back from a couple of nights in London and it was all a bit weird

Left the west end just before midnight last night and decided to get a taxi to the hotel in Greenwich rather than the usual choice of tube. The taxi driver decides he'e gonna go a a very dubious route to "avoid" the trouble as its "kickin' off fackin everywhere pal!" After half an hour and a meter reading of £25 we end up in Peckham. He's on the the bluetooth to all his mates and then his wife calls saying the cops have shot some looters in Croydon. Magic i groan

At this point we end up in a street that's a right mess with old bill everywhere and just missing the burning buildings to complete the picture. At this point Charlie Slater decides that this is as far as his cab is going. "I'll drop you at the Elephant of Castle" he declares to which he gets the immortal "Will you F*** be dropping us off anywhere other than the Novotel in Greenwich my mate!"

After heated discussion the comprimise of Waterloo station is reached.

As for getting back from there, if anyone has ever seen The Warriors.......

Seriously, it was all a bit surreal being there and certainly focused ones mind on how safe you felt whether in a taxi or as you approached each station on the Docklands Light Railway at 1am.

This morning when you surveyed the skyline and the smoke in all directions you felt like you were in Beirut. Luckily though it was back to reality on Virgin first class and a nice bacon butty. Not sure i'll be popping down to the Stone Road Co-op tonight
for a 4 pack for fear of some copycat events though....
