Anarchy In The UK?

Civic unrest has become a weekly event in Britain recently. The Coalition are trying to use the fighting in the streets to deflect attention from their own disastrous policies. They have missed the point. It doesn't matter whether you think burning Whitehall buildings or attacking Prince Charles' car (Camilla's Marie Antionette moment?) is right or wrong. What matters is that it is happening at all. Even Mrs. Thatcher got the message over the Poll Tax riots. The riots in France and Greece recently are not unconnected either. The violence is coming from under-privileged and under-valued, vulnerable groups who are being targeted by the Coalition. Not to mention being targeted by the Metropolitan Police who disgraced themselves yet again.Meanwhile Cameron's friends in the City will get their Christmas bonuses alright.
