"Rioting is Nature's way of telling a government that it's not doing its job properly." --H. Sacristan

Of course that is taking the whole thing far too lightly, and I do not want anyone to think I am not desperately unhappy and worried about my friends and about all innocent bystanders who will suffer from this. Please, everyone, be careful, especially when travelling.

The threat would have at least 10 times as many people out on the streets in protest the following day/night, with the police's meagre resources thus split between ensuring public safety at the resulting demonstrations and minimising the impact of the night's youthful festivities criminal rampage.

Not to mention the millions of pounds then wasted on post-mortem inquiries into why the hell the police decided to do such a damn fool thing in an already tense and tricky situation.
