Despite some posters best attempts this has got fuck all to do with race or politics.

Of course it's got something to do with politics. It's not just coincidence that riots tend to happen in times of recession and begin in the poorer parts of whatever City they're in. Tottenham, Toxeth, Moss Side...etc.

It's clearly more than mindless thieving...it's a lot more sinister.

Shootings, businesses/houses on fire....

What started off as a protest has descended into absolutely madness and it doesn't look like it's going to calm down, more like getting worse and spreading across the country, albeit a smaller scale.

We are responsible as part of the 'big society'.

I idea of a big society has been around for a matter of months, nowhere near long enough to 'breed' something like this.

Big society or no big society, as a UK citizen and a member of society I readily accept that I'm partly responsible.

It's easy to blame others but unless we're out there actively trying to make the country a better place, we're all partly responsible.

It's gone beyond politics now, but for those who insist it still is, do you not think it's due to systematic failures of this government, and the previous?

No, it is about human greed and opportunism.
