It was a very different and unexpected place then where I was 24 hours previously when I grabbed a pair of yellow marigolds and my kitchen broom and a handful of bin bags and marched down to the Nandos in Clapham Junction to see if anyone would come to help clean up my neighborhood. They were there. And they kept coming and coming and coming until we were, as the press named us, the broom army.
A year on and I still can't believe that it even happened. I can't believe that people ransacked their own town, their high streets, their home and I can't believe the massive support of everyone involved in the riot cleanup.
