Oh and another thing. Everybody's felt the cost of rising food and fuel prices (I'm spending £40 a week on food to feed myself and my mum, last year that was about £29-£30ish for the same goods), the fact that there aren't many jobs available while the government keeps cutting benefits and jobseekers allowances. Also, these riots coincide with a major stock market plunge - Which probably means prices will go up even more. And some of these riots are happening in the poorest areas of London...
Anyone else think this is all related somehow? Lets just hope this isn't the start of society collapsing or something.
