Broom Brigade Begin Clean Up



Community Spirit and the Broom Armies begin the Big Clean Up!

The @riotcleanup Twitter campaign was spontaneously organised overnight. 

By 10am today it had more than 31,000 followers, with hundreds joining in across London.

A "Post riot clean-up: let's help London" Facebook page also attracted thousands of messages of support.
