為什麼呢？不瞭解英國情形的人，可能誤以為這類隨意縱火、搶劫、砸店、鬧事的年輕人，以下層社會的外籍人為主，大半是南亞的印度、巴基斯坦；非洲的迦納、蘇丹、埃及等國，或者東南亞那些英國舊殖民地來的新移民，實際卻大謬不然。. I$ w& M- Y$ I7 b9 B& [) `1 C/ J* `

八月一日開始的那一周裏，足足有六天，倫敦處於無政府狀態。事發後各級政府才手忙腳亂地恢復首都秩序。倫敦警力本祇六千人，四處借調結果，增至一萬六千人。受傷員警一百十一人。肇事青年被捕者，各區原共七百六十八人，現已增至一千二百人，其中年紀最小的才十一歲。這還只是大倫敦一地，散布全英各大城市的傷亡與被捕人數，尚未計算在內。 ! e0 Q/ T2 B9 H!

"I fear that some people will now say that David Starkey is right,and you could already see some of them on Twitter. I am worried about a backlash from the right and he will give legitimacy to those views in the minds of some." On the programme, Starkey said: "The whites have become black.
