The intensity of these riots is increasing and it is hard to predict when they will end. The émeutes in Paris in 2005 carried on for three weeks. With a lot of luck, proper policing and inspired politics (oxymoron?) the London counterpart will not continue for that long. Until the situation is resolved, one can take solace in the knowledge that a majority of Londoners are good and decent and are giving up their time to clean their streets.
