Even a fox will chew off its paw to escape a trap. Can we expect
anything else from a 'base animal'.

I would think that the rioters also need to have the culture to
organize politically to achieve their goals.
Burning their own homes and neighbourhood is reminiscent of what
happened in Detroit and elsewhere in the US. When the riots were over
the remaining people lived in burned out areas. Period.

As riots and fires continue to spring up in many areas of London, we
have already had a spate of politicians and opinion-worthies telling
us that it's evil and criminal and so forth. So far, only one person
of any stature at all has had the courage to come out with the real
reason. He is Lord Harris, who founded the nation-wide Carpetright
shops as a young man. He says: "Rioters need jobs".
Quite right. But unfortunately these thousands of young people will
never have jobs. They didn't even have them in the pre-2008 years.
The present episode of fires will no doubt burn themselves out (the
pun was unavoidable I'm afraid!), but the London rioters have already
shown the Greek rioters just what can be done if they try harder.
After all, we are a much more advanced country than Greece.
