The disturbances that have swept large parts of London and other cities and towns across England are the direct product of the vast growth in poverty, deprivation and police brutality faced daily by many working class youth...But any reference to this reality was strictly off limits...With much of London, Birmingham, Manchester, and other inner-city areas on virtual police lock-down, [British politicians] denounced working class youth and shrilly demanded that the state prepare for violent repression of the population.
