Back in April 2010 Nick Clegg was clever enough to predict the fact that if the Tories got into power and raised VAT by 20% there would be riots! What he failed to predict, however, was the fact that he would be a member of that Tory Government condoning and supporting said policies.
Not that clever then!
It would appear that technology again shows its power. As with the Arab Spring it seems that Twitter and other social networking sites are playing a huge role in how the rioters are organising themselves and staying one step ahead of the Metropolitan Keystone Cops. Perhaps if the police started using Twitter to communicate with each other they may be able to ditch the current overpriced computer systems , be able to stay updated a bit better and also save some money in order to re-employ some of the more experienced coppers they recently made redundant!
