Getting nervy here in London.

Friends are talking about wednesday and thursday being city centre smash up days.

I bloody hope not.

But I suspect they may be right.

People from out of town and indeed out of country will come and smash up public sevices that people on the bottom rung (like me) rely on.

They will then fly out the way they flew in feeling smug about their destruction while we suffer the consequences, and wish we could afford a ticket out too.

Those are the ones I hate.

The ones who have the money to fly to other peoples homes and smash them to pieces.

The banks have cost us enough without rioters adding to the bill.
