I think that the riot was carried out because of despicable contempt for the law because of the insane tax. For 1947-48 a special contribution was payable when a person’s income exceeded 2000 pounds. For investment income it was 50%. So with income tax at 45% and surtax at 52.5%, the effective rate was 147.5%. This took care of excessive salaries. Over the last few years though, the top personal tax has been 40% with VAT of 17.5%, allowing higher incomes for those whose incomes were not controlled and causing high prices for goods and services as well as reduced employment availability and very little income for many. So it is not surprising that – with a community already angry, they would not need very much of what they see as corruption of the police force, to get straight into action. Mark Duggan was armed with a converted starting pistol, but did not fire it, a policeman thought he was going to fire and shot him first---- maybe.

...Well, it just proves all welfare is bad; it leads to unemployable youth and riots. And just like daylight saving causes the curtains to fade, because of the extra daylight, if more blacks immigrate to our country then nocturnal crime will increase exponentially since black is more difficult to see at night: Blacks have more babies, one only needs a cursory glance at Ethiopia for proof of that, and look at the mess Ethiopia has got itself into because of too many black babies. Look also at France at the moment; how ungrateful are those North Africans, even when the overstretched thin blue line apologises for accidently killing a couple of black kids on a motorbike, they riot all the more. But it has all turned out to be a bit of a bonus for the French auto industry though; what with three hundred cars burned across France every night, the industry will soon consider employing black people to boost production.

...And hey, what better way to placate marauding hordes of black youths in New York than to elect a black mayor? Why didn’t someone think of that earlier? especially a black Mayor that is prepared to tell the same marauding blacks the truth, such as people don’t actually like black youths destroying the peace and serenity of the much needed white middle classes; that’s the ones living behind their gated cities and suburbs where they hide their children from the black criminal scourge; at least for the moment or until those fences are pushed over and they come and pick the roses. You know, like at Christmas Island when all those ungrateful Muslim boat people pushed over the fences of their compound and fled to the beach to swim and sunbake; how dare they enjoy themselves? Actually, come to think of it, I’ve lived through a few riots myself, but they were safely behind bars…or was it in front of bars?...

Ha! Predictable propaganda starts to emerge:
http://www.theage.com.au/world/unmasked-face-of-riots-a-surprise-20110811-1ioqp.html

Ask an older American southerner the meaning of the term "White Trash".
The White Anti Whites have turned it into a racial slur used to denigrate anyone who disagrees with them but to Blacks and Whites from that part of the world it's always referred to Whites who had relations with Negroes.
Bi Racial "Afro Caribbean" Londoners outnumber actual migrants from that area by about 5 to 1, this isn't a "Race problem" it's a racial ASSIMILATION problem.
You could argue "disadvantage" if there were actually distinct groups suffering specific hardships but the reality is that the trouble has emerged from Bi Racial ghettos which were purposely planned and carefully engineered by social scientists and politicians.

Mrs Thatcher's assertion that there was no such thing as society wasn't an observation it was a statement of intent.

Afro Carribeans along with Cockneys will be the first British Ethnic groups to succumb to the planned Genocide of the British nation and disappear into the "coffee coloured" morass so beloved of both Liberal and Leftists.

"And your latest bit of whimsy:>>In France alone there are 751 no-go areas... where police, emergency or any government vehicles will not enter because they will be fire bombed.”

Not only can I prove it Pericles but here is a French government list through Wikipedia that lists all 751 with addresses. http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zone_urbaine_sensible

Re the cars burnt.That was during the riots..In the no-go suburbs, even before these current riots, 9,000 police cars had been stoned since the beginning of the year.
in 2 nights alone 1,295 vehicles are set on fire, 741 of which in Ile-de-France.
"Fifteen hundred cars burned on a single night and then, nine hundred, five hundred, two hundred, before “normalcy” was reached again (when ninety to 100 cars on average are torched every night in this gentle land of France). A new eternal flame, similar to the one at the Arc de Triomphe, burns in honour of the Unknown Immigrant.

In London Mohammed was the most popular baby name last year, ahead of Jack and Harry. Mohammed-Amine is the most popular double name, ahead of Jean-Baptiste, Pierre-Louis, Leo-Paul and Mohammed-Ali.

In Belgium, 50 percent of newborns are Muslim.The most popular baby name is Mohammed and of the top 7 baby names, 6 were Muslim. A quarter of Amsterdam, Marseilles and Rotterdam and a fifth of Stockholm is already Muslim. The most popular baby name in Amsterdam, Utrecht, Rotterdam and The Hague is… Mohammed.
Many European cities are already one-quarter Muslim: just take Amsterdam, Marseille and Malmo in Sweden. In many cities the majority of the under-18 population is Muslim.

Europe’s Muslim population doubled in the last generation.Europe’s Muslim population doubled in the last generation, and is set to double again. By 2025, (a decade and a half away), a third of all births in the EU will be Muslim. Amsterdam and Rotterdam are on track to be, by about 2015, the first major European cities with majority Muslim populations
