“England has had a torrid week,” exclaims the Financial Times. “Wanton destruction” damaged the nation’s image to “those abroad who still look on England as a country of civility and tolerance.” Riots amongst the downtrodden are nothing new, but these were altogether different. They were not political protests “about an intolerable deterioration in their living conditions. They were taking advantage of serious policing errors in order to steal mobile phones and trainers.”
