Spare a thought for the Feds

As looters and rioters smashed up shops, looted and fought with police in Camden Town, Philippa Morgan-Walker, 25 and her husband, Jonny Walker, 31, made tea for the police who were protecting their street. Some of the officers had been on duty for more than 30 hours. And they're using a riot shield as a tray!

There's also a clean-up of various parts of the city and other affected areas across England being organised on Facebook. It's amazing how events like these galvanise communities into action. Keep safe and stay positive!

"Throw your brooms in the air, like you just don't care!"

The community coming together at Clapham Common to clean-up after the mess left behind by the looting scumbags. I believe the brooms were being thrown in the air to cheer the last firemen leaving the area.
