Mayfair Riot.

Although riot is quite a strong word for what happened.

In the course of the last month a group of spoilt, middle class students decided to play at being anarchists by squatting a vacant mansion at the junction of Park Lane and Dunraven street in central London. Last week a judge issued an eviction order prompting the squatters to hold an eviction party. They organised part of this party through Facebook. As a result some 2000 people turned up to the party which isn't actually that excessive for a seven story building. It was enough though to give the Metropolitan police an excuse to turn up mob handed at around 23:00 on the night of February 11th. This provoked three hours of minor disturbance in which bottles were thrown at the police. No arrests were made and no injuries have been reported.

On the plus side though this disturbance meant that the police helicopter was forced to break off from its plan for the evening of hovering low over by grandmothers house. I suppose that was meant to be the story wasn't it; Baby Eating Anarchists plot Revenge Attacks for noble British Operation to Help the Aged and Save the Children!

Elsewhere a Georgian lugist has been killed in a practice session at the winter Olympics. Given how much I p****d off the Georgians during the South Ossestia war I dread to think what that's about.
