There's no real reason for it, correct?

Who knows? The Tottenham thing allegedly started over 15 policemen beating a 15 year old girl.
(edit -- a man named Mark Duggan was shot by police last Thursday. Probably should have started there.)

I think this downturn combined with the fact that they are on an austerity budget also has something to do with it. At least this is what I think I heard on a TV that was on for background noise at work (I wasn't actively listening)
Perfect excuse to militarize their police...
They're common thugs though... rioting is one thing... looting is another.
Wow. Crazy .
What a riot... over a cab driver?
Seems he was far more than a cab driver!
I wonder how England's far-right English Defense League will respond, or if they are covertly involved in these riots somehow. It's hard to see how the EDL wouldn't try to use these riots to their advantage, especially after the negative publicity garnered with their affiliation with the Norway shooter.
One of my Brit co-workers is sympathetic to the EDL. They really do seem like a crude and scary bunch whose basic message is "They're takin' over me country."
"They're takin' over me country"
Which is true. The English Banksters are as criminal and predatory as the US Banksters, with the same results, no pain for the Banksters, all pain on the non-Banksters.
Wow, that's dumb. Do you know anything about the EDL?
I don't need to know anything about the EDL. It's BLACKs in Tottenham and elsewhere doing most of the riotig, because, like in USA, they are getting most screwed by the Banksters' Great Depession.
It's just s bags who want a free TV or to set fire to hard working peoples businesses just because they can.
What about the Bankster s bags want free money and set fire the lower 95% to get it? Banksters have caused a lot more damage to Britain than rioters.
Boutons, the "banksters" you refer to for both the US and England are one and the same. There is no delineation between the two based on national borders.
Not that has anything to do with whats going down in Her Majesty's backyard.
yeah, I know that, duh. The UK Banksters' Great Depression is imposing even worse austerity on UK. But I figure the Repugs will match their austeriry sooner or later.
Looking at the pictures, half or more of those people looting are sporting some nifty Adidas and Nike gear. I have a hard time thinking they're anything but petty criminals on a stupid rebellious rush.
Tbh as cynical as it is I'm surprised there aren't more riots in relatively densely-populated metro areas like the UK.
UK police and government are kinda ed after how they handled the student riots. And apparently the initial riots started because an officer shot at another officer resulting in them shooting down an armed gang member suspect. Yikes.
The Brits have a great new generation of youths on the horizon and we all know how promising their Western future is right? Anarchy in the UK. The young and old have-nots are going to take to the streets V for Vendetta style

That's not what it is over...
IMO these are similar to the France riots. Those goverments treat the minorities like , especially the dark skinned ones.
I don't think the EDL have the cojones to march there. They would probably get stomped.
you think minorities have it bad in the USA. go to England, Italy, France, Argentina. They are not considered above animals over there.
And our President wishes we were more like Europe? Go figure.
Yoni likes to tell us about Obama's state of mind. How did you get so well-placed to get such information, Yoni?
if he does, he needs to travel through Europe incognegro. Let's see how he fares
but there are countries in Europe miles ahead of USA in those terms.
Netherlands, Denmark, Switzerland,etc,etc.
President Obama.
