Read up on what happened, almost everything that happened afterwards was nothing to do with that, it was opportunism. This is the most shallow, meaningless riot in the history of the UK

Except that it isn't about you when you were growing up.
You can't oversimplify it like that.
But I'm not going to argue since I know now you don't take it so well when people have different opinions.
Anyway, it is ok for the richer people to be materialistic and stupid but the poorer ones have to be more moral and 'dignified'?
