they werent all disenfranchised btw, there were loads of people with jobs, apprenticeships, or student courses who still chose to go in there and take shit. Its hard to get upset for the Carphone Warehouse losing profits, but its not like they were distinguishing based on anything other than whether the shop contained the shit they want

I don't think because some people were in it for the sake of it and nothing has been planned or organised that it makes the "disenfranchised" argument any less significant. Or even that they wanted that shit. They live in a world where people are told that they're worth what they can buy. The future does not look promising and more and more rights and prospects have been taken away.
