London in lockdown

LONDON IN LOCKDOWN: The Guardian reports. "Some of the 1,500 officers drafted into London from elsewhere were housed at army barracks, and Essex police used some army vehicles as backup transport. The tough tactics had at least a temporary impact, with little trouble reported in London. Large parts of the city nonetheless remained in virtual lockdown, with thousands of shops and businesses closing early and some boarding up windows."

NAME AND SHAME: Could it work on the looters? The Sun intends to find out.
