A refreshingly wet run through the woods reflecting on another violent night in England.
"Butch" Cameron has come home and sorted out his own back yard, for now at least, but rioting and looting continued in other cities last night. Opportunistic theft, belligerence and destruction, vandalism of major institutions – the example of recent governments, banks, and captains of industry is clearly being followed by disaffected young citizens. This is probably not what the prime minister meant by his “Big Society” but, after so much materialistic greed, corruption and war-mongering at the top, it really isn’t surprising that people lower down feel free to help themselves too.
