I can hear the sirens calling

So this is my first Blog. I've decided that this will be a tool where I can express myself and say whatever I want to say, as many others probably decided when they started theirs. Most Blogs will be copy and pastes from my journal, and likely as not quite short. I guess I'll start with what is foremost on my mind at the moment. The following was written 6 hours ago.      

I find out today that over the past weekend, whilst I’ve been blissfully unaware of the news and enjoying myself in the frivolous parts of life, there has been rioting across London. Starting out in Tottenham over a shooting of some man who’s got the face of a complete idiot, the riots over the past few days have spread from there to Enfield, Brixton, Oxford Circus, Islington, Croydon and only now as I write this I’m hearing reports of mass rioting in Hackney, and soon perhaps even mine own borough, Barnet. Reports are coming in from friends who describe how shops are being boarded, looted and buildings being set on fire all across London. The home secretary is currently meeting with the Metropolitan Police chiefs in an effort to discuss how to deal with the unfolding chaos, and perhaps consider the idea of bringing the Army in. When I went out to get milk at 5pm at the local Off-Licence, I find boards stacked up outside, the shop keepers are preparing for the worst. 

It appears that social networking sites and the internet have been broadcasting what has been happening and encouraging the further increase in violence, I myself have taken literally taken minutes out of my life to see what’s trending on Twitter. Photos, videos have all been broadcasting the horror that is this anarchy. It all seems a bit pointless to me, seriously, at what point so the rioters decide that instead of fighting for their freedom, their lives would be better with a free radio? Well congratulations Mr Bellend, you’ve caused millions of pounds worth of damage to the country you live in during an economic crisis, but at least you have a new DAB Digital Radio to listen to your shitty Rap music. Thanks to these riots, I’m unable to go to Thorpe Park tomorrow with my friends. Typical.
