As predicted, this is developing along political polarities with the usual impotent, raucous ranting from the rabid righties who have actually no interest in finding the causes and, therefore, perhaps a solution. It's easy to dismiss the rioters and looters and just a bunch of opportunist criminals (which, of course, they are) but what we have to ask is, why now and why in the most disadvantaged communities? Let's hope the parliamentary debate on Thursday brings some chickens home to roost because anyone who actually takes the time think about this will know exactly where the blame lies. I won't hold my breath, though.
