Any other brits find this whole thing rather embarrassing?

Yeah. When we had the poll tax riots it was a necessary and game-changing riot, when the working class rose up against a decade of being crushed by the Conservatives and forced the end of an extremely regressive tax.

Now it's just twats nicking widescreen TVs.

Being in Leeds, a city with a strong history of rioting, I'm genuinely curious to see if the disorder spreads, although looking at the news today the most likely lads to do this sort of thing are too busy shooting each other to go on the nick.
