Hazel Blears on Talk Sport getting stick as it is the underclass created by Labour when they were in power causing the problems. She claims that she was tough on crime when she was in power and it has nothing to do with her parties policies when in power - I must have blinked when she was tough on crime. Most of the trouble causers will have only known Labour being in power aside from the last year.

Looting the Tandem Centre in Colliers Wood, the shops around Clapham Junction Station, the shops in Ealing towards West Ealing, burning down the Reeves furniture shop in Croydon and destroying Peckham has feck all to do with the shooting of Mark Duggan.
Most people in South and West London have little to do with people from North London let alone if they are kids and unemployed.

This is all about gangs. 2,800 crime gangs ravage UK streets - Times Online
and belonging to gangs. London Street Gangs: Soca: Highs and lows of Serious Organised Crime Agency
Media archive of London gang related incidents to support the London Street Gangs website. There are currently approximately 205 gangs in existence across Greater London sub-divided into many more cliques and sub-sets. There are at least 15,000 people who belong to such groups across London (this represents a tiny 0.2% of the cities total population). London boroughs with the highest number of independent gangs are Hackney, Tower Hamlets, Lambeth and Newham. Some of the oldest and more established gangs with a deep history are located in Brixton, Deptford & New Cross, Euston & Kings Cross, Hackney, Harlesden, Leyton, Peckham, Tottenham and Tower Hamlets.
And those gangs are made up of primarily London Street Gangs: Mental health of black and ethnic minority young people ignored, claims study
But it aint new
"Many poor orphans in Victorian London survived by joining pick pocketing gangs controlled by adult criminals. At the beginning of the 19th century, child criminals in Britain were punished in the same way as adults. They were sent to adult prisons, transported to the various Australian penal colonies, flogged, and sentenced to death for crimes such as petty theft.[5][6][7]"

If the riots were against police strictly because of shooting it would have been one thing, but looting stuff shows its completely different motivation. Don't think it's time to shoot even rubber bullets, but FFS - police has got force of law on their hands and if suspects don't surrender then force should be used. Resisting arrest is like what, a few years in jail?

It's fine using those tactics in a "hidden backwater" of the UK but not on the British mainland where the eyes of the world's media are on them.
