Just heard sky news say riots across london due to lack of jobs, poor quality housing and schools under funded.

The rioting and looting started with them.
It's the white collar workers that are feeling the pitch. The poor are used to being poor, they can handle it, the lower middle class , the civil servants and lower management, they don't like their comfort threatened.
I know a coupla drug dealers, who sell that white stuff, for years they have been comfortable, one of them supplies a large area where quite well off people live. Restaurant owners, businessmen, pilots, down by the harbour , and some not so high profile people, but with enough spare cash to indulge in their recreational hobby.
Since last summer, his trade has died right down, he reckons 3/4 of them struggle to pay him. Some owe him big time. He owes people that supply him, they owe people who supply them. He's never known it so bad. If the dealers are struggling, the black markets struggling. There is trouble ahead.
