They are not political animals, but the rioting is motivated by a general feeling in the country that comes from ..... decisons made by politicians.... i.e. politics.
Your other question as pointed out by the usual suspect (aka my shadow) was answered in an earlier post not addressed directly to you granted.

The fact that it doens't really affect these people is not the point, it's their perception that it does!

OK then so the fact that the only times there has been general rioting on the streets of Britain has been in times of economic fragility coupled with austerity measures is just a coincidence is it?

Actually, I think you were right first time. Here's your "getting our taxes back" person:

I see they left Waterstones alone. Probably because none of the idiots could read.

Well obviously i don't know what you're expecting, but putting 16,000 Police on duty tonight and reiterating the intention to prosecute each and every perpetrator is a decent first step, no? Water cannon, tear gas and rubber bullets have also been sanctioned.

After seeing Mr Cameron's tough speech, I'm sure that we can all sleep safely in our beds tonight.
I trust that when they bring in another 10,000 boys in blue to stand by and watch these degenerates continue with their merry little rampage... there will be enough bobbies to watch the rioting in the rest of the country if it spreads further??

In addition to protecting all the areas, they need to pick one and go in 'full force' and take them all down and hopefully show the rest of the rioters what will happen if they continue.

Wow .. Paul Daniels (of all people) saying something I completely agree with:
From here: http://thelifeandtimesofpauldaniels..../08/riots.html
Again, years ago, when the Brixton riots exploded and the TV station's journalists all leapt into action and covered the story, riots burst out all over the place. Perhaps it's not such a good idea to promote such happenings in the media in the way they are depicted. Perhaps it would be better if instead of the destruction we saw the police shoving the criminals into wagons, saw the arrests, heard about the sentencing, in other words promoted the fact that criminals DO get caught and have to pay consequences.
how fookin stupid! totally speechless with all that is going on

Even if there was one it would be so ineffective as there are multiple seats of unrest and it would take too long to get it deployed for one place to another

The vast majority of the rioters don't know why they are doing it, how are we going to work out why they are?
What we didn't need is for London to call for Police from all over the country to come and join them fight to save the capital. Leave the rest of the country with half a force
and the looting will start everywhere else!

Just to clarify, at present there are no Water Cannons on the Mainland. This is well documented. The one the Met Police had was given to the PSNI.
