Third night of riots here in the capital, and irritatingly they have creeped south, into my hood, with riots in Peckham and Lewisham, not too far from where I live. This is mainly irritating because it is undoing many months of hard work I have spent trying to convince my parents back home that my hood in 100% safe. But I think a couple of kids in hoodies carrying molotov cocktails maaaay change their minds. Call me crazy.
So London is all excitement as the riots continue, and part of me thinks its hilarious that it all began when all the politicians (Boris, David etc) were on holiday. Apparently they are all "very concerned" and will come back just as soon as their tans are topped up. I think we are all rioting because we can't afford luxury vacations to Italy :p
The good news is I have lots of time inside to work on my dissertation which is ticking along nicely with the first draft FINISHED and a second draft in the works. Had a job interview today so fingers crossed that gainful employ lurks just around the corner... I could probably get a job at a post-looted H&M as I imagine they are strapped for staff these days. Thoughts? Saddest thing I saw in the footage today? A Greggs bakery burning. Oh the humanity! But seriously people. If your bored, buy the box set of the West Wing and GO HOME.
