As i said people were heard to be shouting "We are just getting our taxes back" during looting.
When people are being denied services, benfits and so on they have paid taxes for and yet see those who governs them living a lavish lifestyle in new cars and so on it will annoy most.

How does looting small independant businesses for booze etc stick it to the government? While I am no great fan of large business, how does looting Debenhams, or Sony stick it to the government? One of the businesses burned down in Croydon was a 150 year old furniture shop that employed 15 people. How does depriving the families of those 15 people of their jobs (and therefore income) stick it to the government?
Sorry, but what these rioters did cannot be justified. Simply put, it was pure evil.
