Remember the riots last year ? I was genuinely scared and rattled despite living in Cumbria to see town centres breaking down in what can only be described as anarchy and the police did not or could not stop it . Very scary . But there was something very simple about people just taking what they wanted cos they could . They always could have done this at any time in the past . All it took was confidence and the spirit of the moment and a little bit of courage ! A mob just casually walked into an expensive restaurant and calmly robbed those having a meal of what possessions they had on them . Very simple indeed and un complicated for our modern complex age .... you have it ... i want it !!!! I have of course left out the moral side which interests me less unless innocents were hurt which is never acceptable....
Im surprised this hasn't happened sooner and the police will have too do better next time.... but i suspect plans to cut their numbers by the government slowed down their enthusiasm in responding to a frightening , overwhelming challenge....
