Amusing comment on the Guardian’s excellent map of poverty and riots:

“Firstly great map Mr Stiles. A really good job there. Secondly… OMG!!!! These rioters are from economically deprived areas. Grief this is a total revelation! I thought they were just taking a break from Fox hunting! Do you think that might be why they are stealing things rather than using their trust fund? Wow I think I might be starting to understand all this rioting thing a bit better now, thanks for pointing this out! This is just so massively unexpected.”
