According to Labours Margret Hodge in todays MoS its was poverty and hopelessness that made em do it, which I find odd cos the north east has the highest poverty levels, lowest quality public housing, highest unemployment rates, most social deprivations, worst public health service, shortest life expectancy, worst youth unemployment in the country, But the kids in Middlesbrough, Sunderland, Gateshead and Newcastle did not riot.
