*Sigh*Okay, I think there's been too much roundabouting here, and it seems that the message you originally put down has been twisted...
Yes I agree that there are problems in Britain and yes, people have a right to feel wronged if they have tried and failed to make a life for themselves
However, attaching this legitimate outrage to the recent LOOTING seems like a bit of a betrayal... There are plenty of disaffected, unemployed, rightfully angry people who have not decided to take the opportunity to destroy public property or private businesses and make off with whatever they can carry...
There are ways and means to change the state of things, wanton, aimless destruction is going to solve precisely NOTHING... So people who want change tend not to go down that route!

I agree. I simply posited reasons that this is happening, these are not exhaustive reasons, simply a wider reason than just a lot of individual anti-social people
