    Problem is though education and spending cuts from the 70's and 80's were never reversed, this is the culmination of of decades of neglect and failure to tackle social issues. Anti-social behaviour is not a simple matter of scumbags causing trouble, eventually you have to look at underlying causes, I'm in no way suggesting the kids rioting are in anyway justified and most of them probably see all of this as a bit of fun but they clearly have never developed any sense of right or wrong and this is in part due to neither them nor their parents ever having a real stake in society so they've had no normal value system.

    It's not about bribing them, it's about tackling inequality effectively. These kind of disturbances happen because of the rich poor divide which is massive in the UK and continues to grow. It's no surprise they're looting clothes and electronics when the focus of the UK economy in recent years has been to encourage personal debt to fuel rampant consumerism.

    Plenty of comments like that have been shot down in this thread already. But fair play for making it anyway your spot on.

    Fact is, most of us here probably have a better grasp of their own language than them. particularly with the arrival of txt spk but funny how this new digital age is producing bigger idiots than before. we have a new low of illiterate, vile; dim distasteful ignorant, arrogant type of youth. Demanding their elders respeck them instead, becuase un their "survival of the fittest" view they are old, weak and easy prey. and this in one of the world's supposed most idyllic 1st world habitats. kids with better etiquette in most 3rd world countries. Go figure

    Just think if Sky News didn't cover the London riot's with 24/7 coverage then most likely Manchester,Birmingham,Liverpool etc wouldn't have started.
