I would like to say how sad it was to see this famous Croydon landmark that survived two world wars burning down. It is clear that these riots that were predicted way back on Skreeworld are due to government policy. The execution of a young man that was the trigger to these events that still hasn't been explained by a senior policeman. Mark Duggans family have said they strongly dissaprove of these, partly opportunist riots that are spreading through most cities. Modern policing drives the mobs away from the large shopping centres and in to the areas where small buisnesses are baring the brunt, buisnesses that can not recover from having their premises destroyed.
Many of the people involved are likely to have been from low income, high unemployment estates, and many, if not most do not have much a legitimate future. Unlike most people some of those looting haveno stake in complicity. Much of this s opportunism but in the middle of it all there is a social question about young people with nothing to lose.
