London Riots – Social Media to the Rescue!

After all the blame social media (wrongly) got in the press for the London riots, it’s fantastic to see that social media is now helping to bring communities together to clean up the mess caused by a few idiotic and selfish thugs.

At the time of writing this blog post, @Riotcleanup has over 61,000 followers and the hastag #riotcleanup is trending. Following the tweets, shared pictures and videos of all of these people coming together to put their communities right again is extremely heart-warming and a reminder that most of us are decent and caring human beings.

Well done and thank you to all involved in the #riotcleanup – the rest of your country salutes you.

Getting down and dirty
