Last nights violence erupted after members of the community took to the streets to demand ‘justice’, after Mark Duggan, 29, was shot dead by police on Thursday.  One resident told the BBC that the violence started after a 16-year-old girl who tried to talk to the police was hit with batons.

Mr Duggan was shot by officers from the Metropolitan Police’s CO19 unit on Thursday evening after the minicab he was travelling in was stopped. There was an apparent ‘exchange’ of fire and a bullet was found lodged in a police radio. Mr Duggan died at the scene and an officer was injured, but left hospital after treatment.

The family of Mr.Duggan went to the police station to get answers and claimed they were continuously fobbed off…..Apparently the response from the police was “No answers I was not there”.

The current News reports

• Twenty-six police officers hurt in clashes, with eight treated in hospital

So now all the media attention is focussed on reporting the violence of the event! No one has mentioned anything about what ‘really’ happened to Mark Duggan! I do not condone the violence that happened and its not right to destroy businesses and people’s livelihood. However, I cant help thinking was the  rioting the last refuge of the disenfranchised?

What the people said:

Good luck, lol!

The concert was pretty good! Chipmunk was on stage for about 45 mins and performed most of his songs from his new album Transitions, showing off his diamond chain and arm full of tattoos, with his full band who I must say was absolutely amazing! (I was kind of glad tat he didn’t perform any of his previous hits, since hearing his new music and just by looking at him you can clearly see that he has made a transition.  Musically he  has grown and is simply not the same guy he was a few years ago). He worked the crowd, danced away to a few tracks, brought along Skepta, Wretch 32 and Sneakbo to perform…..The show was great!

What was funny was when Chipmunk noticed a ‘hater’ in the audience and stopped the show!

I guess you know you have made it when you have haters!

The vibe in VIP was nice, good music and lots of champagne popping……

Read on to see more snaps of the show and party with Kojo, Wretch 32 and Paris Rocks (Skepta all over the house chick) plus more………

The event was hosted by comedian  Kojo who did a great job,  as well as Rachel Ritfield  who looked stunning but shocked the crowd with one of her costume changes wearing a  black puff ball dress which looked like she was about to fly up in the sky at any time ( pictures coming soon).

In the house was Danielle Brown ( Mel B’s sister) rocking the same big hair pig tails she had years ago, Yasmine Dotiwala, Bashy (looking very suave)  , Miss London, Eddie Kadi, Fundmentals ( where have these dudes been hiding?) and Yolanda Brown.
