the riots were very interesting.
I vaguely remember some riots from late 70s or early 80s, and I remember some smaller riots in south shields in the 90s but they all seemed to be aimed somewhere and fuelled by anger.

The summer riots were different.

They were highly organised. but seemed to have no purpose other than mindless fun.
We can blame technology for the organisation.
but the attitude was different from all other riots, that cant be blamed on tech surely.
they tried to say it was set off by the death of mark dugan, but we all know that was untrue cos it was too big and too widespread.
they just didn't want to admit it was brought on by governmental failings.
