“While politicians call for calm, they can only expect to be heeded if they actually do something, but remaining calm when the politicians continue to sit on their hands as people are butchered in the street is absolutely bovine. Ultimately these riots are a consequence of the wilful deafness of politicians, and the blame for what we’ve seen tonight lies squarely in their shop.”
