the best thing about those riots
was when all the simpering liberal types who had enthused about the students' riots the previous year did a total U-turn and condemned them

on that day, I learned that senseless violence and vandalism is only OK if the violent parties are mainly white and upper-middle class

As a simpering liberal type,
I particularly enjoyed the riots. Mainly because they occurred nowhere near where I live.

Our local paper was doing nervy paranoid stories insinuating that the violence would reach us ANY DAY NOW.
I think a bin got set on fire or something.
I live in Dorset.

Careful of those hooligans in Shaftesbury.

What if they become ruffians?

If you corner them they may become scallywags.

The hooligans are loose the hooligans are loose

I liked the simpering liberal types who tried to justify them, saying it was about the subjugation of the poor and downtrodden.
For me the stand-out image was of Clapham high-road, with all the sports shops and electronics shops turned over, and the Waterstones in the middle untouched.

Aaaalll about subjugation, that's right.

Swipe yourself an e-reader from the electronics shop, then go home and load it up with out of copyright classics.
Mind broadened, without any need to cart off a load of heavy books (which would otherwise increase your chances of being picked up by the fuzz).
Honestly, Vaggy, you don't give people enough credit.

what's the bet that those justifiers lived in gated communities and had a private security firm at their door 24/7?
