Materialistic society, plus greed and opportunity.

Children and teenagers of very rich,well to do parents get into bother as well,not just the easier to bash lower classes for want of a better description.

NO Govt, Conservative or Labour has helped the problem at all either though in the last 30+ years or so.

I'm sorry, but that's just wrong. These weren't just shopping sprees. Blaming materialism just doesn't wash. These people did not just bash into nike stores to steel new trainers, they were on a rampage of violence, they were about causing havoc and mayhem and asserting power and terror onto the city, not just about really wanting a new pair of trainers.
