Aftermath of The Riots And A Sign of The Times

A friend has sent me the news that, out of a street of shops in a riot zone: a one hundred year old business (unspecified) was burned out; the sports' goods, electronic and mobile 'phone shops were looted and the bookshops were left untouched. Maybe the looters did not know what the books were for and, rather than court a possible clash with the supernatural, the rioters left them well alone. Ah! Baroness Thatcher; Messrs Major, Blair and Broom; Cameron and What'syername: what a miserable mess you have generated, you morons.
