Oh dear Bertie :'( :'( Hopefully the insurance will sort it all, especially as you've only just settled in.

Another example of the innocent people being harmed by the thugs >:( >:(

seeing pictures now of Croydon, some of it looks like warzone.

Where the fek are the police with plastic bullet guns, just standing there in Riot gear is not enough.

Shoot them!

That's awful news Berries, I hope they can implement some kind of business continuity plan and keep going.

I live in Sutton which is only a ten minute drive from Croydon.
My old gym is literally around the back of the furniture shop that they blew up.
Would'nt suprise me if thats been damaged as well.

I'm just glad that I'm on holiday in Devon at the moment and watching this carnage on the telly in my hotel room instead of it being right on my doorstep.

Bring back national service I say.

I was just talking to one of the guys at work who lives in Croydon - about 7ft tall, originally from Nigeria (I think), thick accent etc - talking about the family owned furniture store that got burnt out near him and how much that upset him, how much he emphatically believes we should roll out the water cannons, rubber bullets etc, crack some heads and some knees and lock them all up to rot..

That entire section which is surrounded by a road, has all been destroyed  :(

Plastic bullets have been available the last 3 nights, but senior commanders decided it wouldnt be appropriate to use them.
After hearing Theresa Mays statement this morning I think she should be sacked.
Cameron was also full of waffle and flannel.
