No matter how heavy the hand it does not give anyone the right to riot in our streets. We often want to look for reasons as to why the riots started, there are so many expert views it often becomes a confused mess. When crime is high we want the polices to react, we want them to do something about it, that's why we employ them, then we condem them for being to heavy handed. I don't know why the riots started but I do know that if we don't have discipline in our society, at all levels, then we will get more of the same !

But the truth is that many of these people are from families that are profoundly dysfunctional, operating on completely different terms from the rest of society, either middle class or poor.
This quote in Blairs article I agree with !
