Sorry anarchists but there is no appetite for revolution and overhaul in this country. Tomorrow morning Cameron will get on with the real world business of governing the country; some of these protesters will wake up in a police cell. I know who will cut the more sorry figure then.

You can appreciate and reflect on why civil unrest occurs without backing or condoning the actions of the people taking part.
Or you can choose to play it down, dismiss it as "tossers", "idiots" and "thugs", and pretend that there aren't very real reasons behind it.
People are frustrated and angry and don't know how to express it, so they smash things up in an impotent rage. Will it get them anywhere? No, it won't, they'll wake up in a cell still powerless and and with nothing changed. Whilst Cameron will get on with governing (dismantling) the country. That's WHY people are frustrated and angry... Precisely because they know that they can't change anything.
