Re: summer of discontent

Scotland's such a quiet, peaceful place to live.

Scottish Labour have today highlighted shocking figures which show that violent crime in Scotland is running at four times the rate of England and Wales.

I just presumed it was tradition.

We had riots, Bristol, Toxteth, Brixton, just before the Charles & Diana royal wedding.

It's nice when old customs are maintained.

So can we take it that squatters making petrol bombs to burn down Tesco stores is acceptable behaviour in your part of the world? People smashing up the same store is OK?
