the English government are so stupid,what they should have said is there will be extra police in all the major cities, to let the rioters know that extra police were going to be in london, only achieves a shifting of the violence some where else in this case to manchester.
YES,IMO THIS IS A RESULT OF PEOPLE BELIEVING THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS SOCIETY.
what has happened, well years ago people were frightened into good behaviour by religion, now there is a vacuum, nothing has replaced it morally, we are left with a society that is concerned about consumerism ,looking after number one ,not having any respect for your local community or neighbours,IMO this is a direct reflection of Thatchers philosophy of looking after number one and f### everyone else, WE ARE REAPING THATCHERS OATS, A WHIRLWIND OF ALIENATED CONSUMERS WHO HAVE NO MORAL SCRUPLES, who believe in nothing else but looking after number one.
I blame the capatalist consumer system that has dehumanised people, and that has taken away any moral guidance and created a them and us situation
