Idiot academic Dr Clifford Stott Senior Lecturer in Social Psychology at the University of Liverpool

What is very clear is that social cohesion in London has completely broken down.

Among many young people primary loyalty is to their immediate social group - at one extreme to little inward-looking cliques on Facebook, at the other extreme to gangs.

There does not seem to be much loyaty to even their own families - and absolutely no loyalty to neighbours, civic entities or social institutions.

This is a failure of social policy which needs an entire rethink (not more of the same).

Especially we need a national policy of integration.

Have just seen on BBC News 24 an idiot academic Dr Clifford Stott Senior Lecturer in Social Psychology at the University of Liverpool saying that this rioting is happening because some demographic groups are saying "policing is illegitimate".  This is the sort of nonsense that has got us into such a mess.  The police get their legitimacy from the democratic will of the WHOLE population and personally as a tax payer who maintains the police, I want them to enforce the law throughout the whole of society without any political correctness garbage.
