The London riots were not about this initially, but once they spread to other areas, it was mainly not about a cause, it was totally about stealing trainers, clothes and whatever else could be gained by ill gotten means. That is why I have nothing but contempt for such people who participated in towns like Manchester (my home town). If they were fighting for something they believed in, and what they were doing had a message, I would have had the utmost respect for them, but they just shat on their own doorstep for their own personal gratification. They just made things worse for themselves. They didn't change a thing.
