In reality you can draw any picture from statistics if you have certain amount of data. Therefore everything from stats is relative hence means nothing. well the people arrested seem to come from all walks of life from millionaire daughter to postman.

Brixton and Toxteth always feature. Depressing how it doesn't improve. Even more so if you live there. It would have been nice if this time the rioters' focus had been more on politics than shopping. It would have been nice if we were as concerned with the cause as the symptoms. See you in 30 years for the next lot? The pattern of riots/deprivation hasn’t changed since the early 80s.
