I love this picture as well! I think it should receive far more media coverage than some of the images that have been broadcast. Thankfully the near-tripling of police forces on the streets of London tonight have done the trick (along with other precautionary measures taken during the day) but the rioting seems to have gotten worse in Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham... and as I type, even Gloucester! I do think the situation is calming itself down and the initial hysteria has been overcome. I just hope the police do their job properly in the aftermath and bring as many as possible to book as quickly as possible to send a clear message that this kind of behaviour should never been tolerated - whatever its causes, legitimate or otherwise.
