@danielhewitt that's sad and stupid but not as sad as my neighbours who lost homes and businesses last night

A bit of perspective on Tottenham - the ASDA van just arrived next door to deliver groceries.... life goes on

Might reassure people a bit if the helicopter buggered off now - heard less consistent helicopter noise when we were in Baghdad.

Good to see Boris can't be bothered to come home as reports - and i hope to God they are not true - of second night of London rioting emerge

Ha! RT @TheMediaTweets: To be fair to David Cameron,he almost certainly won't have heard about the riots yet, because he's not on Twitter...

Someone has set up a account tweeting clearly fake pictures of violence in Hemel Hempstead - IGNORE http://twitpic.com/photos/HemelNews

Met Police say not aware of reports of 'stabbing in Edmonton & confrontations in Brixton' - obviously not across journos on Twitter then...
Neal Mann
@fieldproducer
@MartinSFP people have to be aware of TV logistics very different to print journalists
Neal Mann
@fieldproducer
Stabbing the Met said they weren't aware of --> RT @PaulLewis: @fieldproducer the Met police were there attending the bleeding man
Neal Mann
@fieldproducer
RT @metpoliceuk Police have not requested a #mediablackout and are continuing to provide updates
Neal Mann
@fieldproducer
What incident of the stabbing & @paullewis report shows is just how behind the curve the Met Police press office is with social media

Latest from south London RT @paraicobrien: Riot police just charged Brixton High St. Prayers for rain answered

@fieldproducer
Lots of people asking why less coverage on news channels than on Twitter/radio/etc - it is much harder for TV crews to move than individuals
Neal Mann
@fieldproducer
Live TV pictures don't just magic out of thin air, also Twitter is real time - when crews get there things may be over.
Neal Mann
@fieldproducer
Indeed RT @billykenber: @fieldproducer camera crews have also been particularly targeted, much easier to blend in with just a notebook
Neal Mann
@fieldproducer
When you have static locations such as Tottenham last night they are much easier for TV channels to cover than moving ones like tonight.

RT @mrmatthewtaylor Currys in #brixton cleared out. Ppl carrying flat screen tvs etc away or loadg into cars.
