London burning
Jesus fuck, you guys.
Some of my best friends live in Croydon, Peckham, Lewisham. Still more of my best friends have family in those areas, and are themselves unpleasantly close to the riots.
I've just been standing in the kitchen with my laptop, reading out the news to Middle Sister, her boyfriend and my mum as it breaks: eleven tube stations closed, burning all over Croydon, rioting shifting and moving over what seems like half the city.
This is my favourite place in the whole world and it's being burnt down. Rioting is scary enough but the arson is worse.
