When the London riots broke out and spread over England, after the initial shock, shop owners and local people started forming defence groups in their streets.
That's when the alarm bells started ringing for the top brass in Government who broke short their holidays on the Costa Brava and rushed back to England.
If local vigilante groups form to prevent crime and riots, that's where things might get ugly.
that is how i envisage things alex, lessons have not been learnt from the summer.
each year from now on the economy will get steadily worse for 10 maybe 20 years, police numbers will be cut in line with that and we have a large section of yoofs that plan to take advantage of the situation.
lucky for us we do not have the retail outlets brimming with the goodies that make riots worthwhile.
