I'm so relieved all went well!</p> <p>I hope this ends soon. Such a dreadful situation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/londoners-everyone-ok/page/2#post-401619 Wed, 10 Aug 2011 14:59:35 +0000 taylor 401619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am glad the meeting went well and all are safe!</p> <p>Hopefully they can get this under control....this sort of thing is terrifying anywhere it happens! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/londoners-everyone-ok/page/2#post-401584 Wed, 10 Aug 2011 14:02:21 +0000 Angie 401584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the info, and for chiming in Inge. My London family is fine too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/londoners-everyone-ok/page/2#post-401530 Wed, 10 Aug 2011 12:00:27 +0000 Inge 401530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm really relieved to hear from all our UK YLF'ers, and that everyone is ok. Very scary to have rioting and violence going on so close to your home-(</p> <p>Thank you Ornella and Angie for your concern. The London meet-up was lots of fun, and luckily we weren't affected by these horrible events.<br /> Hopefully this can be stopped very soon!</p> <p>Stay safe everyone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/londoners-everyone-ok/page/2#post-401499 Wed, 10 Aug 2011 08:08:11 +0000 Sharon 401499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stay safe, everyone. The pictures we are seeing here are unbelievable- so different from the ordered and mannerly image we usually see of England. Sorry your country is experiencing this dreadful situation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/londoners-everyone-ok/page/2#post-401498 Wed, 10 Aug 2011 08:03:00 +0000 Deborah 401498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Its all over the news in Australia. You are all in our thoughts. I haven't seem this evenings new yet but do hope things are getting under control. We saw David Cameron this morning saying that those involved would be prosecuted regardless of age if they are caught. It's truly awful that there are people just looking for any excuse to be violent. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/londoners-everyone-ok/page/2#post-401497 Wed, 10 Aug 2011 07:44:18 +0000 Louise 401497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In a nut shell,<br /> a man was shot by police investigating gun crime, this sparked a *peaceful* march by his family and friends.<br /> Yobs then saw this as an excuse to cause trouble (breaking into shops and stealing, setting fire to things and generally causing trouble) which started in London. On Monday night violence spread to other parts of the UK. The rather worrying thing is that the majority of these thugs are youths with some are as young as 11!!!!! I don't believe it's gang related but word has spread though social media and more thugs just joined in the trouble x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/londoners-everyone-ok/page/2#post-401366 Wed, 10 Aug 2011 02:36:32 +0000 Sveta 401366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's terrifying! I am so glad everybody is safe and YLF gathering wasn't affected. Please keep us posted and stay safe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/londoners-everyone-ok#post-401127 Tue, 09 Aug 2011 20:48:06 +0000 Aida 401127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fi, glad to hear the gathering went well! And also glad to hear that our other Londoners are doing fine.</p> <p>(From what I understand it's basically gangs outdoing one another. A gang member was killed by police, the event mishandled. There was a peaceful protest, which was hijacked by gang members. This group posted/shared the stuff they had looted, then other gangs started trying to out-do each other.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/londoners-everyone-ok#post-401022 Tue, 09 Aug 2011 18:42:00 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 401022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you're ok, Fi, Louise, BL et al.</p> <p>We're on holiday in Cornwall and can't quite believe the pictures we're seeing from other parts of the country. Hope it will be better tonight - they have over double the numbers of police in London tonight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/londoners-everyone-ok#post-401008 Tue, 09 Aug 2011 18:31:40 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 401008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Back from meeting Jean and Inge. Had a great time. Where we were was no where near any of the problems last night.</p> <p>What happened last night was nothing to do with the police shooting or job cuts. It was vandals and thugs taking advantage of a stretched police force. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/londoners-everyone-ok#post-400896 Tue, 09 Aug 2011 16:12:25 +0000 MNsara 400896@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I missed the news, so I'm glad to hear everyone is safe!
