"Yes," said the young man. "You wouldn't be talking to me now if we didn't riot, would you?"


"Two months ago we marched to Scotland Yard, more than 2,000 of us, all blacks, and it was peaceful and calm and you know what? Not a word in the press. Last night a bit of rioting and looting and look around you."

She makes the argument that the government cut jobs, benefits, education cost's went up. I understand the argument, but you can't keep spending and growing government and expect that the cycle can go on forever. Maybe England should go deeper in to debt and put off the problem until tomorrow, that worked well for the Americans.



I'm not up to speed on British politics or the state of government spending/taxation systems, but that's my take from afar.
