The mood "on the street"














Above:  interesting article by John Bird in yesterday's Independent about a possible contributory factor to the riots http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/john-bird-fashion-has-become-a-weapon-on-the-streets-of-london-2337838.html

John Bird probably knows more than anyone about the mood "on the street".

The government has declared war on the gangs.  Stupid comments on Newsnight yesterday by young people in Hackney saying the government would "get war" in return.  These people need to be advised (and quickly) that when the state declares war against an internal group there can only be one possible outcome (as the miners found out).
