As far as I am concerned, moreover, there was no politics involved in these riots. It was criminality on a big scale....
The best article I read about the riots came to the conclusion that the UK has produced a generation " good for nothing yet afraid of nothing ".
I say that not all, but many of this generation fit that bill, particularly the not being afraid .
I'm sorry but this is bollocks. The notion that somehow this generation is a bunch of good for nothing thugs? Are you serious? How many young people were not at home rioting? Millions! How many were rioting? A few thousand, but we're all just scum now? Do you not remember this happened in Brixton in 1981? My generation indeed.
Bollocks?
The thrust of my post was that the rioting was criminal not political.
