A couple of years ago, France went rioting too.
If you believed the media, my street was on fire (I'm 10 minutes away from a former appartment, in a sector where unemployment rate is pretty high - as it's all non-white people who can't be trusted by white people with cash).
It was all contained to the poorer areas.
All there was downtown was some broken glass at a bus stop.
I'm pretty sure it's the same here, and that the whole of England is not blowing apart.
It's keeping fear alive.
So : was that bullet that hit the radio shot from Mark Duggan's gun or from a fellow officer? (I read that in a British paper, French media didn't talk about it at all; all they said was that unemployment was higher in Tottenham and Croydon than in our poor areas; I dislike what it suggested).
That lit it all, Cameron and his government should be concerned about it.
