I was working as glazier in Birmingham (i grew up in Walsall)at the time of the Handsorth riots shortly after the Brixton riots and i must say that the feeling around the city then was exactly that ,people were past caring and they didn't give a fig .Tories were in power after labour ballsed things up and massive cuts were happening ,unemployment was rising and things in general looked bleak ....sound familiar?
