There is a wistful recherche tone to the Guardian's coverage of "the riots one year on", as if it were an exquisite case study in popular revolution, with all attributes the Guardian most approves of (anarchistic insurgency, ethnic grievances, cutting edge use of social media etc).
It's almost as if they are hoping for it all to kick off again.
The police, especially the Metropolitan Police, would have to be very negligent to allow any repeat of the riots of last summer. Especially with the Olympics about to take place. The consequences would be very serious - not just for anyone caught rioting, but also for the police hierachy.
