Lord Sugar: "Can't believe what I am seeing [on]TV with thugs rioting all over London. Gov might have to call in Army."

John Benjamin: "The broom should become the symbol for the peoples' resistance to this anarchy - or perhaps a sandal or a gourd."

Shomrim London: "Stores in Golders Green have been told to close early. Kosher Kingdom closing at 6:30."

Bored of Deputies (spoof account): "We are meeting local councils today to explain how sending youths to Israel post-GCSEs prevents rioting, by removing thugs from the country."
