What a riot!

I try to treat people with the respect I'd like them to show me - which is why I have so little time for politicians. This attitude is apparently "anti-authoritarian." Gosh, I feel such a bad boy. My rough calculations seem to indicate that if stealing/looting water from Lidl to the value of £3.50 equates to 6 months in prison, then being a banker involved in causing the economic chaos that may have, in part, contributed to the riots, is equivalent to being strung up to a lamppost. Or have the courts missed their chance to work as quickly to provide summary justice for white-collar crime as they have done for the yobs/opportunists?
