With the support of David Cameron, Conservative Wandsworth council was the first to attempt to evict tenants who had been caught up in the rioting.
Wandsworth announced on Friday that the first eviction notice had been served – to the mother of an 18-year-old boy accused of violent disorder and attempted theft. The teenager has not yet been convicted but has appeared in court in connection with disturbances on Monday at Clapham Junction.

How I do love an early '90's house piano riff...

And let's not forget ker-ay-zee old uncle Jimmy Hopkins, with his zany spinning bow-tie of truthiness.

I don't understand it. Why are they doing this, smashing the shops and now each other, destroying the livelihoods of decent people in furious rampages organised by the miracle of the text. Are they so disaffected? Do they not feel they have a stake? Are they so badly educated? Is it racist, all of this? How can you tell, with their balaclavas and hoodies? Young hoodlums lighting massive fires simply to watch buildings burn. I mean, it is so catastrophically un-British.
And then...
who would have thought the British police would have so much riot gear available to them?
You can smell the logic disconnect burning from ten miles away. Upwind.
This man is paid by a national newpaper to write this shit?

Hard News: London's Burning, in reply to Russell Brown,
GF lived on the Rockingham.
If Pizza Castello is the place I'm thinking of, it's where we had our rather disasterous (non-) first date. A tale for another time, though.
Sadly, it now appears to be gone. Google streetview shows a building site, and there's some chat here about them moving out and castle house being demolished.

I know the Walworth road pretty well: I used to live at the Camberwell end and my girlfriend (now wife) at the Elephant end.
I was joking the other night that the only reason it didn't get turned over was because it's such a dump. Looks like I have some hat-eating to attend to.
