I doubt very much that many of the rioters and looters are recently fired government employees. And if any are well then apparently sacking them was the right call. Mostly its just greed, a sense of entitlement, lack of concern for others or for consequences, and being caught up in a crazy moment ----- An illuminating report on BBC Radio Four’s Today programme (0810) this morning said it all about the British riots. Some teenage thugs who were hooding up to go looting were asked why they were doing it. Maybe they couldn’t afford the trainers and other goods they were setting out to steal? Yeah, we can afford them, came the reply; but since the goods were there to be robbed, it was an opportunity that couldn’t be passed up. What about their parents? Did they know where they were? Yeah, came the reply, but the most they do is shout at me. And as for the police, well the worse that can happen is that I’ll get as ASBO (antisocial behaviour order). melaniephillips.com
