l thought l would put this on as it kind of shows the solidarity and goodwill from the vast amount of people who are a force for good in this country.


20.44 Our reporter Heidi Blake has got in touch about the now-famous Peckham Poundland:


The boarded-up window of a looted branch of Poundland in Peckham has been turned into a message board under the heading: "Why we love Peckham". Hundreds of local people have covered the boards in coloured post-it notes with messages of good will and solidarity following the riots which have shaken the community.


Here are a selection of the messages:


- Diversity of culture and foods. Celebration of diverse interests.
- Family, belonging, creativity.
- Because God loves Peckham.
- Because it is my home. There is so much potential here.
- All my children and grandchildren were born here.
- Because there are more people here that care about Peckham than those who don't.
- I have lived here for 22 years and it is full of good people. Keep everyone safe

Around 100 youths looted Foot Asylum in the Arndale Centre in Manchester after two raiders smashed open the glass entrance with a large stone slab.

The Press Association reports:


Once the glass was shattered, youngsters rushed in and carried out clothing and shoes.

They dispersed towards Deansgate when a police van arrived at the scene and a lone officer in riot gear stepped out.

Officers with dogs then began to patrol the area. A line of officers then blocked the bottom of Market Street at the junction with Cross Street.

Large groups of people began to gather along Deansgate. Looters helped themselves to bottles of alcohol from Sainsbury's Local at the corner of Bridge Street.

The thieving continued for several minutes in front of onlookers. All had grabbed what they wanted and disappeared into the side streets before three police vans arrived

BBC NEWS: Miss Selfridges has been set on fire in Manchester,Apparently looters were annoyed when they realised that they don't actually sell fridges :D

I'm amazed that so far there has only been one recorded death.

A number of blazes were started by juveniles rioting at a young offenders institution in Bristol tonight, the local fire service said.

My colleague, Beatrice Woolf, reports that up to 10 teenagers at Ashfield set fire to rubbish in one of the wings at about 7.50pm.

It took members of staff about 50 minutes to extinguish the flames, according to Avon Fire and Rescue Service, who were put on standby.

"About seven to 10 people were involved in a riot," a spokesman said. "The prison staff are now dealing with the perpetrators."

The fires were said to be small, with the level of damage done unclear. Some 400 male juveniles aged between 15 and 18 are held at Ashfield after being sentenced in courts across the South West, Wales, the Midlands and the London area

I agree Hom3r.

I feel sorry for the innocent shop owners being caught up in this, not to mention the families in flats above shops, to.
