Riots Update.

Two little notes:

1) The Housing Minister is now demanding that rioters be evicted from their homes. Oh, right. So will that make them less likely to riot? And what do we do with them when they're homeless?

2) Cameron says the rioters were'criminally pure and simple.' Read that carefully. Is he doing his GW impression again, or has he just forgotten how to speak English?

The thing I find most disturbing about this whole business is being further reminded of the lamantable state of senior politicians. Wouldn't you think that with their education they'd be capable of learning the lessons of history? Do I have to state the obvious again? Riots are always a sign of long term discontent. So address the discontent.
