These riots were about race. Why ignore the fact?

At Highbury, only a minority had no record. Many seemed to be career criminals. Most were teenagers or in their twenties, but a surprising number were older. Most interestingly of all, they were predominantly white, and many had jobs.

So those folks living in the council estates and rotten neighborhoods, their race had nothing to do with why they're there?

slim, tell us what you know about council housing in Great Britain.

What I love about the "debate" (I use that word very loosely) here is that whilst someone like RJ or Duncan or Trompe or me who actually has first hand knowledge of life in the UK is belittled when speaking about what the riots are actually about by people who claim to have no interest in and great dislike for the country, were any of us to opine about Russia, Ukraine or Belarus, we would be told to shut up because we know only what we've read about those countries.

I was watching the female looters on the Beeb to see if any of them had high heels on.

There's a lot of cobblestones in Britain, though.

There are practical nuances to running away from Debenham's after you've thrown a brick through the window and looted the knickers section.

I know. It's hard to clickclickclick away when your arms are filled with La Perla.
