While it may not be necessary to hold an opinion on the nature of these
recent civil disturbances, the nature of the state response to more than
the guarantee of a functioning social communications fabric is also quite
surprising.
 
The site formerly known as afterdowningstreet.org, now warisacrime.org,
reports that a mother of two, who was asleep at home during the riots,
has been given a five-month jail sentence for accepting running shorts
stolen by someone else.

The sentencing pattern appears to be inconsistent with anything I recall
during the miners strike of 1984-1985, when I lived in London.
