London riots: Day 3: Brixton, Dalston, Hackney, Peckham, Croydon...

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

peter beaumont @petersbeaumont

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

peter beaumont @petersbeaumont

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

peter beaumont @petersbeaumont

mayor of major world capital? Kind of goes with territory pretending to give a shit

Dalston People @Dalstonpeople

RT @leonbeck: Something definitely going down in dalston...loads of police and air ambulance just swooped in. Anyone?

Some of the most striking images from #Tottenham I have seen http://t.co/F6WEFYj & http://t.co/hhfqB1L via @demotix

Neal Mann @fieldproducer

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...

Neal Mann @fieldproducer

RT @hendopolis In #Brixton an excited crowd loots an H&M http://yfrog.com/ki5ykgaj

Neal Mann @fieldproducer

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

Neal Mann @fieldproducer

For the latest from #Brixton follow @hendopolis & @paraicobrien

Neal Mann @fieldproducer

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

Neal Mann @fieldproducer

RT @hendopolis A curry's comes under attack #Brixton http://yfrog.com/h2ru5ouj

Prad Patel @pradip

Lets be real here.. if you're looting Kingsland Shopping Centre in #Dalston, you're really scraping the bottom of the barrel. #londonriots

Neal Mann @fieldproducer

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

Neal Mann @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.

Neal Mann @fieldproducer

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