Rioting by Underclass Brits has Long History

...[I]t's creepily fascinating to watch England's moneyed over-class distance itself from the social context in which the recent riots occurred...Knee-jerk recrimination from a British over-class and its apologists, blinkered by self-interest, follows a predictable pattern..."Social problems like poverty and unemployment were once understood as injustices that sprang from flaws within capitalism...Yet today they have become understood as the consequences of personal behaviour, individual defects and even choice."
