Why all the president and first ministers of Europe need to reed a piece of paper in each speech? I think they need to learn from Cristina Kirchner who talks more than 60 minutes without having a look to any paper…

So what was good for Cairo is bad for London, eh? I doubt it was by social media at all. Too much chance for exposure. More likely, it was by anonymous cell phone calls.
Rather the civilians had an opportunity for success or not that does not justify their act of violence and graffiti. If you want a meaningful riot, march and demonstrate not steal and burn. If you act like animals you will be locked away like animals. Such vandalism will not come with righteousness.
When will the law & order types learn that it is much better to co-opt traditionally marginalized and disaffected groups into a society than to make weak, meaningless, and ultimately futile attempts to impose more heavy handed law & order. Beyond the hooliganism and criminal activity, the underlying problem is there is a large group of people who have almost no regard for the rules of society because they justifiably believe society has no regard for them.
