I was raised in Walthamstow, next door to Tottenham – which now looks like a warzone. It’s upsetting, as only a couple of years ago millions was invested in improving this area.

The world has suffered over 5 trillion dollars worth of losses on the stock markets over the last week. Unemployment is already high. But last night many thought it was clever to destroy the local businesses. Forcing large chains to shut up and destroying the lives of many small business owners. It will take some time for the local economy to recover.

I wonder how many of them will go to the job centre during the week for their welfare benefits because they “can’t find any jobs in the local area”.

Anyway, I found a set of photos on Flickr from ‘Beacon Radio’ that show the situation better than words can alone.
