Cant wait to hear the excuses...especially after the limp wristed idiots like Red Ken have more or less put the words in their mouths..

I wonder if any of them stands up and says 'er pure greed coupled with the opportunity to steal things without anyone being able to stop us'

Personaly I think some people started a protest about something or other, and some thieving idiot scum bags decided it was a good opportunity to steal and cause trouble, from what I could see there were people stood gobsmacked at what they were doing, but then I could be wrong?

I presume your referring to Young Persons Question Time shown yesterday and not the normal one John Prescott was in on Thursday.

The young peoples one was excellent, it was passionate, diverse, open and informative.

It is probably on BBC Iplayer, well worth watching.

I honestly cannot handle seeing any more 'social commentators' or so called experts disseminating all the facts and trying to make an excuse for the looters..

Yes, I concur that young people are faced with very difficult times...and more must be done, but their problems and the riots are two totally unrelated things..

The riots were pure greed..just look at a lot of the people nicked and charged so far...and the ones they havnt caught..driving around in nice cars using blackberries etc..yeh...really skint arent they!

This was a case of a genuine peaceful protest going wrong, some windows being smashed...stuff nicked in the process, the word spreading that they could get away with it unchecked..and the escalation that followed.

The word went out and the thieves took over..no excuse, no reason..I might have looked at it differently if the initial protest was about government policies or jobs for young people...it wasnt though.

These looters are not unique in society as being the only people who, if they know they could get away with a crime, would commit it..

I think the 'cause' is easy to nail down...the solution/prevention from further acts...not so easy.

But what did you think of the Young Peoples Question Time programme?

I watched a really interesting clip of an interview on some news thing .... anyway..... a young homie gentleman member of the street gang persuasion in Birminham was asked what the protest (looting) was about. He (near word perfect) repeated what some of the "experts" had been saying on the news... yet when he was asked to put some context to his words and what changes he would like to see, his reply (after several seconds of looking like a stumped stump in a stump field) was something along the lines of "don't be asking me dat bruv. I don't need to explain dat bruv. I is educated , you is educated so don't be askin me to tell you these tings bruv. A blackman is dead bruv, ya hear me. That’s nuff said bruv"

Basically he didn't have a chuffin' clue other than it was likely to be a nice little earner and a chance to chuck stuff at the police.

If you randomly took 100 convicted rioters from the dock and asked them to tell you exactly why they were on the streets over those Three nights of rioting you would probably get a couple of dozen different answers...

'I was just doing what my friends were doing'

'I am an anarchist and am at all demonstrations and riots'

'I am 24 and have never been able to get a job since I left school'

'I hate the government'

'I hate the Police'

'I am a common thief'

'I wasn't even rioting, I came out of Nando's and a Policeman hit me over the head with a truncheon'

'I was bored'

'I was angry that a man was shot dead'

'I came out of the pub and it seemed a good thing to join in'

'Why should all the rich people get all the luxuries?'

'I was walking past PC World and the doors were ripped off'

'I am angry at the bankers and MP's getting away with ripping everyone off'

'Freddie Starr ate my hamster'

There is no definitive answer I don't think, a massive cross section of society was on the streets over those three nights, some were thieves, some most certainly were not. Some were anarchists, some wouldn't know what an anarchist is.

Some were bored, some were angry, some were unemployed, some were forgotten.

Some were just thugs, some were onlookers caught up by accident.

I'd totally forgot about the MP who claimed on his expenses for the petrol he used to burn down the local convenience store and his neighbours flat
