Enough time has now passed to reflect on the summers riots.

Some commentators have suggested hypocrisy of politicians who have condemned rioters yet those same politicians took part in organised bashes a la Bullingdon club. It does look like pots calling kettles, etc.

For a very long time its become ever more apparent of high levels of tax evasion and avoidance amongst the very rich. I can sympathise that rioters snatching goods and high income tax evaders have similar world views – greed. A plague on both their houses.

How can we stop and deter both?

I was glad to hear Danny Alexander MP announce a new team of 2,500 tax investigators aimed at the 350,000 richest British citizens. Good. It’s a start. But we still have too many tax loopholes.

How to change the mindset of those that riot – whether rich students from privileged backgrounds or lower income people seeking high value consumer items?
