<p>Some viewpoints on this week&#8217;s events. <\/p>\n</p>
<ul>
  \n
  <li>
    Camilla Batmanghelidjh for the Independent: <a
    href=\"http:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/opinion\/commentators\/camila-batmanghelidjh-caring-costs-ndash-but-so-do-riots-2333991.html\">Caring
    Costs, But So Do Riots<\/a><\/li>\n
  </li>
  <li>
    &#8220;&#8216;Cause we&#8217;re not rallying together and fighting for a
    cause, we&#8217;re running down Foot Locker and teefin&#8217; shoes:&#8221;
    Whether or not you agree with her, this woman&#8217;s <a
    href=\"http:\/\/www.twitvid.com\/4JTZH\">speech on the streets of
    Hackney<\/a> is impressive stuff. She&#8217;s now being politically
    figureheaded out the wazoo by at least two newspapers, which, well.<\/li>\n
  </li>
  <li>
    Third Estate on <a
    href=\"http:\/\/thethirdestate.net\/2011\/08\/the-riot-and-the-community-some-reflections-from-green-lanes\/\">The
    Riot and the Community: Some Impressions From Green Lanes<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  </li>
  <li>
    Penny Red: <a
    href=\"http:\/\/pennyred.blogspot.com\/2011\/08\/panic-on-streets-of-london.html
    \">&#8220;Now is the time when we decide whether to descend into hate, or to
    put prejudice aside and work together.&#8221;<\/a><\/li>\n
  </li>
  <li>
    Reading The Riot Act: <a
    href=\"http:\/\/velvetcoalmine.wordpress.com\/2011\/08\/10\/reading-the-riot-act\/\">quick
    post from our Rhian on her own turf<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  </li>
  <li>
    Hana Riaz: <a
    href=\"http:\/\/hanariaz.com\/2011\/08\/07\/contextualizing-violence-tottenham-riots\/\">&#8220;I
    think we speak from a space of entire privilege when we attempt to frame
    certain forms of resistance and\/or political action as legitimate versus
    illegitimate discontent.&#8221;<\/a><\/li>\n
  </li>
  <li>
    Owen Jones: <a
    href=\"http:\/\/www.labourlist.org\/the-riots-are-a-catastrophe\">&#8220;My
    real fear is that we have just witnessed another crucial stage in the
    political ascendancy of the right.&#8221;<\/a><\/li>\n
  </li>
  <li>
    And Zoe Williams, concluding for the Guardian: <a
    href=\"http:\/\/www.guardian.co.uk\/commentisfree\/2011\/aug\/09\/uk-riots-psychology-of-looting\">&#8220;Between
    these poles is a more pragmatic reading: this is what happens when people
    don&#8217;t have anything, when they have their noses constantly rubbed in
    stuff they can&#8217;t afford, and they have no reason ever to believe that
    they will be able to afford it.&#8221;<\/a><\/li>\n
  </li>
  <li>
    And in the Guardian, which your unashamedly socialist editor thinks nails
    it, Seumas Milne: <a
    href=\"http:\/\/www.guardian.co.uk\/commentisfree\/2011\/aug\/10\/riots-reflect-society-run-greed-looting\">&#8220;These
    riots reflect a society run on greed and looting. While bankers have
    publicly looted the country&#8217;s wealth and got away with it, it&#8217;s
    not hard to see why those who are locked out of the gravy train might think
    they were entitled to help themselves to a mobile
    phone.&#8221;<\/a><\/ul>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div
