Legacy of a society that believes in nothing
By A N Wilson
Yes some white areas in Manchester and Liverpool and black areas like Peckham and Hackney are poor and deprived but it doesn't give them the right to go wreck peoples livelihoods. Look at areas which have large Asian Muslim populations like Bradford, Oldham, Tower Hamlets and even Alum Rock in Birmingham which are poor areas and have large unemployment, but were some of the safest places in the country in the last week and escaped the rioting and looting. Family upbringing played a part.
