The riots currently tearing England apart have been the source of countless pieces of writing. I’m not going to add to the number. Instead, I’m going to point you in the direction of this piece, Panic on the Streets of London, by Laurie Penny who has been watching her city burn over the past few days.
Rather than making snap explanations and racist remarks about why the riots are taking place, Laurie takes the time to see the madness for what it is. Indeed, to see what happens when those shown no respect rise up and tell the world that this time, they’ve got the control and they’re going to do anything they want with it.
