They'll be quite a few with lengthy prison sentences a lot of them caught by their own social media video footage. Incredibly dense of them , we really do need to improve education in this country.
I only heard interviews with two rioters. One blamed immigrants for his lack of a job but admitted he'd been in jail for GBH. There did seem to be a good number of people arrested with previous convictions which suggests the prison service has been unsuccessful in getting people back to work, which we know anyway. It's not an overnight thing but I was heartened by the appointment of James Timpson as Prisons Minister given his background in getting offenders back to work at his family business.
