This video is very interactive, the time should be extended to hear more from the people, may be by putting all views together, we may be able to know the real reason behind the riots, and will be able to fix what has broken down with the youth. I like the point where the young girl said the young people do not feel part of the society, why would the damage the society, if they felt an important part of it. Good reporting and views.
The public know better about the 'riots' and 'vigilantes' than the politicians and mainstream media seem to in this refreshing series of vox pops. Those who foolishly blame the trouble on bad families or gang culture need to get their sloppy brains to the dry-cleaners.
The people who are interviewed are so good, full of insights; it has made me rethink a few things such as what do we mean by community. Should we necessarily be harking back to the days where we knew each other or have we moved on? People's community's are no longer about a geographical area and that is no bad thing. So, I agree with more than a few that said we have lost the ability to talk to each other, to have a bit of common sense about other people.
It’s great to hear people sticking up for white working class people who stuck up for themselves against thugs. The woman who says building more youth centres will change nothing makes a really good point – what self respecting 18 year old wants to go to a youth club anyway. Most teenagers can’t wait to be adults and the main thing is, that is how we should treat them including telling them where and when they are wrong.
We are often encouraged to look to the broadsheets for the most intelligent analysis, but the view from the streets here seems to contain the most thoughtful commentary on the rioting. It smashes stereotyping of white people defending their streets as being racist, topples the idea of youth clubs being the answer – it is definitely a ‘deeper’ problem. And yes - laws aren’t a substitute for having a sensible feeling for what life is about...
