” you might as well take it if it’s going” … a direct quote from a looter walking past my window in Ilford town centre last night. Sums up the attitude. Earlier (about 7pm) two guys walking past the house were bragging to people on the street as the carried a 42in 3D TV looted from PRC on Cranbrook Rd in Ilford. Some fancy cars parked up in the street as drivers went into the high street to loot, returning to drive away to their own parts of London with their stolen items.

Thankfully Ilford wasn’t the worst affected – though some jewellery stores and tv stores were hit, the streets looked ok en route to the train this morning.

Ten years should be the minimum sentence for these yobs.

it makes me so angry to see a bunch of well off kids in one of the worlds richest cities complaining this way about their "circumstances". theyre using blackberrys ffs, i wish i could afford one.

So, it’s the power of twitter. Who said that it could only happen in Egypt or Libya?
