Indeed.

One thing that is also never mentioned is the huge ballooning in number of students in 40 years (from 410,000 in 1969 to 2.4 million in 2009) due to the idiotic lefty notion that higher education is a "right" regardless of how little the individual or society benefits from it. If there is a six fold increase in numbers they can hardly expect the same individual subsidy.

Incorrect. University populations expanded massively also under the Tories. 1980 to mid 90s (when it reached 2 million)

The govermin must be expecting it to last 'a while'. Boris Johnson has said the rioting won't affect the olympics, next year.

Maybe they could incorporate a few new events:

Petrol Bomb Throwing
Supermarket Sweep
The Big Mac Cook-off

Shop looted and youths storm McDonald's and start cooking their own food

So who will protect you?

The police will protect the oligarchy as they have always done.

It's not the bankers who will riot, it's the rioters from poorer areas around it who will come to say hi...

I doubt if the bankers who live in my area will riot. Maybe if bonuses this year aren't up to scratch

Looks like he was with the wrong people at the wrong time.

29 year old father of 4, no job mentioned.

London's Evening Standard newspaper quoted his girlfriend Simone Wilson, 29, as saying she was "shocked" to learn her boyfriend of 13 years was carrying a gun.
She said Mr Duggan, also known as Starrish Mark, had become increasingly paranoid after a cousin was stabbed to death in a nightclub in March.
Before the shooting, police had been attempting to carry out an arrest under Operation Trident, which deals with gun crime in the black community.

Lets look on the bright side.
To the outside world this will look as if austerity measures are being applied and working, therefore top AAA status for us

AKA Syria.

Yes, but with less oil.

I guarantee that instead of arresting these people if they just busted some teeth out the world would be a better place.
