London

[oxoniensis]

It was a little surreal, Monday in London. The only tiny hint of trouble I noticed was the National Theatre closing straight after the play in the evening, instead of staying open until 11. There were lists of closed stations on the tube, and a few more police officers than usual at the railway station, but it was barely noticeable

Ah, peaceful England, I miss you so! It's a shame that people can't seem to think for themselves. They've even been lootings around here and I'm 65 miles north of London. :( It stucks beyond belief :(

There are so many gorgeous, quiet spots in London.

There's been trouble in my area too. And I got up in the middle of the night to check up on my car when I heard a bunch of kids going by. But the worst hit places must be horrific - I can't understand the mentality of people who're just so happy to hurt other people's livelihoods and homes.

I don't get it either - on 3 counties radio they were asking "Do they have the right to be angry" I wanted to phone up and say "YES THEY DO - everyone has the right to be angry for something, but that doesn't give them the right to cause mayhem and destruction. Now stop asking the wrong question!"

It's funny - when I was writing this, I started writing about how many things in this country do need protesting, and how there are things we should be standing up against, and getting angry about. Except then I didn't want to start a political rant, so I deleted it and just posted pretty pictures instead!

much better idea - everyone has different views and that's fine :)

But, like you said, the people who are in a position to be heard should be asking the right questions! I'd have been so frustrated too if I'd heard that interview!
