The lesson that the Government won't learn is to put back into the communities the resources they've taken out over the last few years, more case workers, more engagement officers, more resources for keeping sports clubs open. If the haves pay for this then the have nots won't torch their Mercedes, if the haves don't steal money from the have nots when they make mistakes then the have nots won't break in to their big shops because that's the lesson they've learnt from life, that if you ant something take it rather than work for it. The looters from the last week acted in exactly the same way as bankers a year or so back, and if they had been wearing a suit and tie when they did it David Cameron wouldn't have thought to call them sick.
