Last night the London Fire Brigade dealt with 2,169 fire calls. If it happens again, and you send more than one policeman alongside each call, that's a few used up. The core 6,000 have been on duty for three long shifts - including those specially trained for street disorder - and remember, they couldn't cope. The extras will include special constables and rural bobbies.
We're told all cells in London are full, and some of those detained have been shipped to Brighton. If the number of arrests just doubled tonight, you'd need to open up an army prison camp or two, and staff it.
- Mark Duggan was the third most popular search term in "news and media" on Sunday, after Sky News and BBC News.
- This is what happened in Paris in 2005.
