Fuck no... nobody in Manchester gives a fuck about a gang leader in London (or all the places a Northerner couldn't give a fuck about, London is number one.) and you don't go straight for the 48 inch HD TVs, Bluray players, PS3s, XBOXs, Designer Sportswear etc if you're angry at the establishment.

The shooting may have been the catalyst that set all of this off, but it quickly degraded in to monkey see monkey do and opportunism from a bunch of ignorant, egotistical charvers who have an over inflated sense of entitlement and the exact opposite in the IQ department.

If our society wasn't fucked and so full of idiotic cunts who all think they should live like a premiership footballer without lifting a finger for it and who think that they are something special thanks to the shit media feeds them (see 'Geordie shore' etc) then this wouldn't be going on... regardless of the police dropping the ball and shooting some scumbag.

Only in the UK would people use £400 smart phones whilst wearing £100 tracksuits to organise riots because they 'live in poverty'... and only in the UK would people smash up businesses and set the economy back months or years because they can't get a job.

Drop them in the middle east for 6 months and see what they think.

The economy is hanging on by a thread... lets destroy small businesses and homes! Fucking clowns.

They also think that they're getting at the police... what?! by giving them 1000s in overtime and by increasing their job security by showing that deep budget cuts to the police force would be a bad idea? Idiots... they can lie to themselves and try to justify what they're doing all they want... but they're fooling nobody... and that includes themselves.

Bottom line is that these riots aren't a sudden reaction to anything... just a symptom of the fucked up attitude and ignorance that has infected most of this shitty generation.
Excellent post.

I saw one video with a woman looting suggesting that she was "getting her taxes back". I bet she has never paid any bloody taxes! And getting some taxes back by looting from a private corporation? Some logic.

Go and find where the bankers live and cause anarachy, but destroying your own neighborhoods? Cretins!
