I voted for "because of too much immigration". Why?
If all the hard-working Polish workers wouldn't pay the benefits for the local scum and keep the economy running, there wouldn't be these riots as they'd have to work themselves.

If Duggan's death was the primary cause, why did London not go up in flames when Menendez had a clip emptied in his head?
Why doesn't your house go up in flames every time some cigarette ash drops on the carpet?
Course of events:
Duggan gets killed.
. Duggan's family/friends not happy with police version of events.
.. Family/friends hold protest.
... Protest turns into riot in Tottenham
.... Local opportunists see chance to loot and vandalise
..... Other opportunists around London see them getting away with it and get some of the 'action'
....... Chavscum 'yoof' around Britain see them getting away with it in London and decide to try their luck
It's the snowball effect.
Something like the 'chav uprising' would have happened sooner or later - this just happens to be what started it.

Nope, Sea Salt and Cider Vinegar.
Your fault, of course that I had to eat the whole packet, and nothing whatever to do with gluttony
We've no crisps in the house right now, so I had to make do with a handful of roasted hazelnuts from the baking cupboard. I've taken to roasting them as soon as I buy them - is there ever a recipe you'd want an unroasted hazelnut for? - unfortunately it has the side effect of increased snackability.

Are we Off Topic yet?
You've done well my friend DB. She said crisps and not potato chips

The Duggan shooting might be related to the original riots, but the 'snowball effect' in the rest of the UK is more related to the 'flash-mob' effect and the catalyst was the Blackberry messaging service advertising excitement and free loot.

The reason that there are not enough Police out catching rioters is that they are sat in the station on Facebook
Quote:
Communications officers continued to monitor reports on social media websites.
Assistant Chief Constable Nick Wilkinson said: "Throughout yesterday and overnight the county was carefully monitored and we were prepared for any disorder relating to the national unrest as well as serving Sussex as normal.
"It was important that we acted quickly and accurately to any rumours and concerns, particularly those that continued to come via social media sites."

You are absolutely right.
I always have to roast mine and then wait for them to cool before I can add them to the chocolate brownie mix.
Now there's a whole new thread there on why hazelnuts aren't roasted before they hit the supermarket shelves.
One of the Mods is now going to criticise me for being 'off-topic'

It is clear that the youth of Britain are disenchanted, disaffected, widely anti-social and now beyond the possibility of control. Politicians have been aware of this for years but chose to ignore it. These days young people can't get a better job than working at McDonald's for shit wages so they can't afford to buy things and can't afford a place to live. If they want a job they will need a degree and be bloody lucky to get one even then and then owe shit loads of money in tuition fees so they will never be able to put a deposit on a house. Landlords know that they are trapped and so put up the rent to keep them as paying slaves.
The young people of Britain are devoid of hope. They have no future. They are anti-social because society is against them. This was bound to happen and it did.
It is beyond political repair by politicians who can only plan for the current term and their reelection. We need a new charter for the young people of Britain.
