those rioting are a mixture of races, not just black people as some seem to suggest, and the ones that are would probably be second, third generation, so not necessarily new arrivals. They are criminals, no matter the colour of the persons skin. And i am ashamed of all of them, and what they have done to London, and to Britain. I commiserated with a friend recently over the riots in Greece, little thinking that we would be next on the list. None of this is politicial, it's not about cuts, as has been pointed out any number of times, they haven't come into effect as yet, so unless some think this is a pre emptive strike, to me its just mindless, mindnumbing thuggery. Just like the student riots, starts out as a so called peaceful march, then is hijacked by any number of morons, with their own agendas, and this is what has happened here.
