London riots – Clapham Junction Speaker

Popular culture
15 August, 2011

Boris Johnson finally comes back from holiday in time to pose with a broom after the riots in Clapham. A Londoner speaks out and is grabbed by the arm by the police. He’s a loud Jamaican and you know how that goes.

Instead of being silenced he talk’s up the tings and people listen. If you haven’t got the patience to sit through both videos make sure you watch the second one.
