Acceptable or not?
Well the official reason for the riots is out.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-17525873 Am the only one who things it is a load of bull, my mum was a single mum who struggled a lot and worked hard to provide nice things for her family and she has forever instilled into me that if you want things you work hard for them, not expect others to help provide them for you. Just sounds like an excuse to me for people to act like yobs and then blame it on lack of support, or am i just being cynical for my age? |

The second paragraph isn't bull though ...

But the popular answer to tell the people is they've been forgotten and it's not their fault, hence the headline and majority of the article, but the second paragraph gives an insight into the truth, imo.
