Hope you guys are all well.

On the flip side, with all the airtime devoted to showing the damage, I was wondering: how and why did it start? What little info I could find was that there was a sour turn when they moved in to arrest a suspectedly heavily armed organized crime African/Caribbean guy, a policeman was shot and the suspect died of gunshot. It's a bad day at the office for sure, but does anyone know how it came to where you guys are standing?

There's an inquest relating to the shooting of a man. Police initially claimed he had a gun and fired at them, from what i've gathered they've said thus far this didn't happen, as of yet no-one is entirely sure what happened, I think it is fairly safe to say that he wasn't heavily armed though. Then there was an initially peaceful march last saturday to the police station with the hope that it would encourage the police to show more accountability (justice for the shot man). From there things went mental, it turned into a riot which the police were slow to shut down, it was predominantly in the same area (about a square mile if not less) but the police didn't react very well and looting ensued.

The following nights though had barely nothing to do with what had happened the previous night and was merely a reaction to the police being quite slow in stopping the riot and kids noticing they could get away with looting hence why it happened in numerous places across London for two nights before the rest of the country realised and there was more rioting the following night in other locations.

Wow, every part of that makes so little sense, and yet ...

You have conscious memories of the eighties?

So I have a job now! I work for Thomson Reuters and a subsidiary Sweet and Maxwell (big law publishers) It's nice to finally have the prospect of something to do other than go to the gym on a daily basis. I start on Monday!

Gratz Simon, exactly what are you supposed to be doing there?

BCLG100 · 05-01-2012, 01:52

Essentially I spend most mornings at the Royal Courts of Justice (High Court, Court of Appeal) and whilst there I pick up all the documentation of cases occuring that day. I then summarise these documents and upload them and the summaries to the internet. During the afternoon I conduct indepth legal research on behalf of clients who ring me up asking me to find a case. It's not exactly what I want to do and doesn't pay immensely well but i'm just pleased to have a job!

You have to summarise the spam, oh the irony

Anyway, congratulations. I think it's good to start with a job that isn't exactly what you're looking for, that keeps you from getting complacent. Hopefully it doesn't pay like crap.

Congratulations!

Any job at the moment is better than none. I start my teacher training next week so only 2 years before I can get paid enough to live on!
