On a slightly lighter note, the riots rather put our supposed social problems into perspective. One might say that DDC has been especially perspicacious in ensuring there is nothing much worth looting in the town centre
I remember during "summer riots 1.0" in 1981 a rumour sweeping the town that a busload of hoodlums were heading here to cause mayhem. They never arrived - perhaps they burned out their own bus en route?
The High Speed Train would presumably be the preferred option now, except they would probaby smash it to pieces before they got past Stratford...
