Just to redress some of the misinformation that's been broadcast about the Stokes Croft riot...

ETA: And a little more.

ETA: And more again from my friend Dru, this time on the question of - petrol bombs, what petrol bombs? It's beginning to look like the Banksy graffito was the only petrol bomb seen in Stoke's Croft that night.

Ooh, thanks for this. I have to say I was a bit taken aback by the petrol bombs, and am glad to hear this is just LIES from the POLICE.

I heard the police were tipped off about petrol bombs by one of the security firm from Newcastle, specialists in 'cleaning up' unruly districts, who'd been brought in ostensibly to protect Tesco... from protesters handing out food to non-Tesco shoppers.
