There is the concept of relative poverty - being unable to share in the lifestyle that all around you take for granted, or seeing any means to do so. That is one of the points which a reformed ex-criminal made very articulately on Newsnight recently. But there's no excuse for looting and violence. He also made that statement, he was not condoning the looting, merely explaining it. -- Gordon H Remove "invalid" to reply |
