Just a link really so I can go back and find it again in August come the first anniversary of the London Riots.
"The question on people's lips is 'why are these people rioting', but perhaps the question should be 'why wouldn't they'?"
"Politicians can't see any political message to be drawn from the eruption into the public consciousness of thousands of people around the country with so little stake in society, so little to loose, so little to do with a long hot summer and no EMA, no spending money, no youth centres to do anything in that they're willing to risk jail time for the thrill of a firebomb and a new TV."
