Mostly people in hoodies so can't tell but of those that are not - mainly black/mixed race.

Similar economies, different societies? The Welsh ... are they big on rioting? I can't remember many.

LOL - did those in school. I think there were a few more from memory.


Renth, you're being silly. There's 15 photographs.

From an English speaking area, so the history books were English oriented.

Gives an interesting perspective on how history is written for it's audience. Turns out Llywelyn ap Gruffydd wasn't a traitor after all but just a man trying to defend his country from invaders.

That does have a certain appeal. And if you can get the goods being looted then even better.

It would be good until you went out for a pint of milk and got sprayed by accident....

I can see where you're going with that but blue doesn't have to mean guilty or stolen. If you genuinely bought your, now covered in blue, milk then what's the problem?

You'd have to be desperate to get a pint of milk in the middle of a riot especially when the water cannon is out.

I was heading to Trafalgar Sq the day of the Poll tax riot. When I knew what was going on I turned around and went somewhere else.
