For the first time since I arrived in London five years ago, I feel genuinely on edge.
I went for a run this evening after work in Queens Park, north west London and three teenage boys on bikes closed in on me, too close for comfort, then rode off ahead. I bricked it, I won’t lie.
Footage of this tidal wave of violence and looting across London show ferals marauding through streets and not necessarily attacking people, but attacking properties – of value or not – with utter disregard for whomever gets in their way. What the footage fails to document are the smaller pockets of violence.
In Notting Hill, four miles from my home, rioters busted into a restaurant and demanded diners hand over their wedding rings and wallets. I think I can be forgiven for being on edge.
In Sydney, I didn’t live so far away from Macquarie Fields when riots broke out in 2005. That was 100 people. In London’s Antipodean honeypot of Clapham Junction, south of London, last night, there were at least 300 and for at least a couple of hours, only a handful of police officers.
When more did arrive, they were still outnumbered and seemingly under-resourced. The Metropolitan police force seems woefully anaemic.
Ollie Olsen, 28, who arrived in London eight months ago from New Zealand lives in Clapham Junction. Normally a dynamic hub of a place populated by middle class twenty-somethings, last night it descended into anarchy.
‘‘All hell was breaking loose,’ recalled Ollie, who stood among the looters. ‘ I grew up in TeAwmutu in NZ and I thought that was rough.
