”As looters and rioters smashed up shops, looted and fought with police in Camden Town, Philippa Morgan-Walker, 25 and her husband, Jonny Walker, 31, made tea for the police who were protecting their street. Some of the officers had been on duty for more than 30 hours.”
Betydligt lugnare idag – inga större uplopp hittills ikväll, efter vad jag förstÃ¥tt frÃ¥n nyheterna. Bilden ovan, frÃ¥n pixel.eights flickr, illustrerar alldeles utmärkt väl varför man ändÃ¥ älskar engelsmän – en del mÃ¥ vara idioter, andra gör te Ã¥t poliserna som hÃ¥ller lugn pÃ¥ deras gata. Och imorse var Twitter och Facebook fyllt av människor som faktiskt sedan möttes pÃ¥ Mare Street, i Croydon och de andra ställena där det varit kravaller, och städade upp. The Guardians Dan Thompson skriver: ”There’s talk of reclaiming the streets from violence just by being there and talking. The broom, raised aloft, and cups of tea carried on riot shields have become today’s iconic images. How British. How beautifully British. And how very, very London. People have even produced ”Keep Calm and Clear Up” posters. It’s a movement.”
Fint.
