What Caused the London Riots

David Cameron explains the riots in London and Manchester (and Birmingham, and Liverpool, and Bristol, and... Nottingham? I thought they had a Sheriff that made Arpaio look soft on crime):

For me the root cause of this mindless selfishness is the same thing I have spoken about for years: it is a complete lack of responsibility in parts of our society. People allowed to feel that the world owes them something, that their rights outweigh their responsibilities and that their actions do not have consequences. Well they do have consequences.

I personally would not have been so quick to blame the financial industry.
