London riots spread across the UK

http://www.nma.tv The rioting that began in London over the weekend is now spreading to the UK's major cities. The London riots were sparked by the shooting of local man Mark Duggan, while the rest seem to be people just wanting free stuff. The Metropolitan Police's initial response to the rioting has been criticized as woefully inadequate. Politicians were also criticized for their slow response, while people have taken the clean up into their own hands. Some blame the weak response on budget cuts and are questioning whether the city can handle Olympic crowds next year. The Home Office has ordered more police onto the streets. Will this help bring the unrest to an end? Or will the Sex Pistols finally get their way?
