People in our Birmingham office where told to go home at 3.00 pm as police expect it to kick off again.
And make sure no cars are left in the car park.

Can we all stop referring to this as "rioting". It is nothing more than looting from businesses in their own communities and destroying homes into the bargain. That is not "rioting", that is opportunism.
Why aren't instructions being given that looters will be shot on sight? That might deter them and nip this in the bud. Or maybe make it worse.
