People should not consider unemplouyment benefits and public housing to be an automatic right. Sure , these people are poor and in need, but should this necessarily force them into rioting? Here we have people who are on the streets and receiving benefits (which are meant to be paid for people looking for work) and they don't riot. Maybe things have degenerated in the UK to a point where they think they have no other option, but it makes you wonder why all other countries aren't experiencing the same thing. Being poor cannot be the only reason, but the government and councils are probably sick of having to try and fix something that mauybe these people should be sorting out themselves. You make of your life what you can, and if you fail to do so, then why should people help them if they won't help themselves?
Anyway, that's my view. You don't have to agree, but it's what I believe.
