Isi artikel

By August 11th, a shell-shocked London was picking up the pieces, as were Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester and many other English cities. The apocalyptic images that had dominated the news for four nights--of outmanoeuvred police in heavy riot gear pitted against mocking, mobile and mostly young gangs of violent looters--had given way to more purposeful policing and prime ministerial promises of law and order. The scale, speed and viciousness of this week's events have shaken the country to the core. The unrest is a blow to the police, caught flat-footed and unable to ensure order. The first order of business, politicians of most stripes agree, is regaining control of the streets. Above all, the riots of 2011 are bound to change the way England thinks about itself. Policing will be affected, but so, probably, will welfare policy, attitudes to young people and parenting, and much besides. This, to paraphrase the queen, is truly Britain's annus horribilis.
