Re: common link to the riots
I seem to recall that s1 Riot is a 'found committing' offence - I don't think that method would fly in the UK. I believe that the arrest has to be made at the time of the offence, and not afterwards. I may be wrong - It's been a long time since I looked at anything like this!
One thing I do remember is that Riot is rarely charged, as any damage that is caused during a 'Riot' has to come out of police coffers or something, so more often than not, folk are charged with Violent Disorder instead, so that the police don't have to cop the fees for damage.
I doubt they would get away with that here though...

Ironic isn't it. In a years time, scores of people from different ethnic backgrounds will be running round the streets of East London chasing items made of gold, silver and bronze….all started by a single gun shot!!!

Re: common link to the riots
This post is not intended as a Australia v UK one, although I'm sure many on here will make it so (do what you gotta do haters). Sadly, these riots are a damning indictment of what UK society has become. Too many years of PC government, soft policing, a too liberal judicary, the endless welfare state, multiculturalism, non-integration, the breakdown of the family unit, the lack of respect from a lot of the population, the fact that a career in the UK now requires a degree, the destruction of the working-class. This has bred a generation with no values, no father figures or role models, a dependence on welfare, a lack of respect for the institutions of state, a belief that nothing has to be worked for, nothing to work towards, no ambition, 'what's the point?', a total under-class.
In other words a f**ked up generation.
It's a mess.
