Dalston too

Despite no mention in MSM, apparently there was free shopping at the wank mall in Dalston last night. Haven't been there to see yet, but saw the cop choppers at the time and heard about it locally this morning. That's the place with the Army recruiting office which is regularly picketed, though it's currently closed, allegedly for "refurbishment".
MSM was also mentioning Walthamstow and Chingford late last night, but seems to have dropped those references now. CHINGFORD FFS! Anyone know what happened there? Did someone shout "You chaps are bounders" outside the Conservative Club? Or have I got that place completely wrong?
Interesting, isn't it, that old bill can now be Twittered into sending a large number of their thugs (aka "deploying resources") to a particular place, even a place right on the edge of London, such as Enfield. Apparently, this is called "intelligence". "The police are all over social media now" said Kit Shitehouse, Deputy Mayor for Beating People Up, filling in for Boris, who's on his hols.

Chingford and Leyton

confirms events in Chingford (well, Chingford Mount, actually, which is a bit different) and also refers to Tesco in Leyton being trashed. As it's at the Bakers Arms, I guess that's virtually Walthamstow.
I still haven't been to check, but I'm beginning to think the Dalston stories may have been exaggerated, and more a matter of the cops managing to prevent free shopping than any actually occurring. They certainly had choppers over Dalston for a long time last night and it may be some who weren't there indulged in a little wishful thinking based on what happened elsewhere. Anyone know?
