More that they should stop clogging up social media with inanities or pontificating, or attempted levity or even trolling. Social media had a role to play those days and that was getting information out.Sulci Collectivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03293833259808943096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179795275664264195.post-74116039458265350942012-03-26T11:19:20.982+01:002012-03-26T11:19:20.982+01:00I remember being caught up in all of this last sum...I remember being caught up in all of this last summer. I'm not sure I agree with your assertion in your later post that everyone should have just shut up and watch it happen, since there's a bit of a difference between Muamba's collapse and watching a city fall apart, but you certainly captured the clamour of voices.Icy Sedgwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11501193571425442406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179795275664264195.post-91328359764262989312012-03-25T11:04:09.388+01:002012-03-25T11:04:09.388+01:00I remember all of this.

You've perfectly represented - by language alone - all of the various classes and types of people involved, from panic-stricken commuters to rioters to those observing and using events simply as a means to display their wit. The Twitter handles were just the icing on the cake.

I particularly liked the Rioting in Primark joke.<br />And the comment piece that accompanied it was amazing too. Really agree with you.
