Good articles. I can honestly in over twenty years of following politics I have never come across such an ill thought out and counterproductive policy as this idea of evicting the families of those caught in these riots from their council houses.

His government’s wrongheaded austerity policies have meant fewer public sector jobs and social services. ... What Britain’s sputtering economy really needs is short-term stimulus, not more budget cutting. Unfortunately, there is no sign that Mr. Cameron has figured that out.
Ah, would that be the same sort of stimulus that has been an expensive failure everywhere else? |

Ah, would that be the same sort of stimulus that has been an expensive failure everywhere else? That'd be the ones. The good thing about this economic crisis is that there are very easy answers to the whole thing....unfortunately no-one can agree on which easy answer will actually work. |

The NYTimes paywall is reall easy to get round - google "wrong-answers-in-britain NYtimes" and then click on the link from there and you can get in. Googleing any page description & NYT will get you into all their pages. |

You may as well just throw a chair through their window and loot a copy. |

The paperback version of the out of print book mentioned in Andrew's article (Hooligan: A History of Respectable Fears) are being sold for £60. Somebody somewhere must be beginning work on a second edition.

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me i didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life.
