The recent riots in London have revealed a number of things in Britain, issues,
attitudes, economic policy, that require addressing.
Cutbacks on policing have been in the air this last year, however, the issues that
they are supposed to protect, still need protecting and cannot be left undefended.
That there is a highly criminal element out there in British society is unarguable,
likely an issue that will not go away, these young criminal looters have little or no
regard for authority, no respect for the law which is laughable, the punishments already
meted out by the courts are incredibly soft, and simply serve to reaffirm that the lack
of fear of consequences by the looters is justified.
There are larger societal issues that need to be addressed for the lost generation of young,
brought up in a highly consumerist culture, while being completely in many ways,
without the means of advancement.
