Well, well, well !
So its NOT all sad, unemployed yoofs,who cant get a job is it ?
Why does he have to riot and loot? Does he not earn enough for an iPhone? Perhaps he should work harder and become a fully qualified teacher - or better still a head teacher (around £100K for primary head teachers these days).
Or perhaps someone who loots should never be allowed near any children ever again ?
PS - I hear a serving soldier is amongst those due in Court soon.

BBC News, Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court

Sat in the dock in a blue tracksuit top, the 11-year-old boy was barely big enough to see over the wooden ledge into the main body of the courtroom.
But, according to the prosecution, the child had been among the hundreds arrested in connection with the rioting in London over the past few nights.
He was the youngest to appear at Highbury on Wednesday, and admitted taking a wastepaper basket from a branch of Debenhams in Romford, which was looted by rioters.
Others brought before magistrates included a man who works in a primary school, a student and a convicted drug dealer. Nearly all will be sentenced at crown courts which have the powers to impose tougher penalties.
The 11-year-old is due at a youth court at the end of the month. Despite his tender age, he spent last night in a police cell. He's been told to observe a curfew between 18:00 and 06:00 until his fate is decided.
