Agreed there were huge problems back then which, whilst not entirely resolved are much better now than then. I think the 'no discernible' cause is simply because of the sheer number of areas you can point to as influencing it. I think we should group them all up into a single entity and call it Neville-ism - too many chips on one shoulder causing bitterness and resentment through having a sad and empty existence! :-)M18CTID said:strongbowholic said:There were serious disturbances in that period - Broadwater Farm, Brixton and Toxteth to name but three flash points. What we are seeing now is almost a mirror of that in some respects.
Yes, you're right. But the universal opinion appears to be that, as unsavoury as those riots were, there was an underlying problem that lead to them happening whereas pretty much everyone, regardless of their political persuasion, seems to agree that there is no discernible reason or "cause" that can be attached to what's happened over the past few days.
