London riots: community clean-up hit by safety rules
10th August 2011
Hundreds of Londoners took to the streets this morning to clean up damage caused during last night’s riots – but the Twitter-organised community action was partially hampered by health and safety rules.
Notice that the people cleaning up are all white people, unlike the rioters.
That’s modern government for you: it can’t impede the rioters, but it sure can get in the way of the people trying to clean up afterward.
