Now I'm not one for Twitter, but this seems to be trending.... Could it be a case of good people doing something to help support the community?

Seems like a darn good idea to me. Bin bags at the ready biggrin

i never really got twitter until last night. reading about what stephen fry had for lunch never appealed. last night however, it was fascinating to read the #londonriots tag. a really interesting insight into what was happening and i dare say it helped both the emergency services and the news coverage. people were tweeting where crowds were gathering, what peopel were doing and where emergency services were badly needed.

Sorry chap, what was that? What is trending and what was doing it? Are you speaking in tongues?

They can come and do it now - the game's off.

I agree, but as they aren't I'm kinda impressed that ordinary people are using social media (whatever that is smile) to overcome the mindless hooligans on the streets. If everyone gets involved they'll have a much harder time of it in future.

Is "#riotcleanup" some kind of code for vigilante justice, or is it genuinely about bin-bags and brooms?

I approve either way.

Social responsibility. A lot of people still have it.

I only wish #riotcleanup could start with the incineration of the rioters.

Members of the local community are out in Battersea with brooms waiting to clear up St John's Road.

I think the clean up should be done by those who have ben arrested. To quote the film Battle of britain:

"The hell you are. They made this mess, get them to clear it up"
"...but what about the officers, sir?"
"give'em a bloody shovel"

Robert Shaw's character is one of my favourites fo all time, you'd follow him anywhere, and if you weren't keen a swift bark would send you scurrying on your way biggrin

With a bit of luck, the same self-help attitude might inspire the populace onto the streets tonight to confront the maggots
