Rioting break

Letter from Sam in London:

I'm kinda sick of the riots, I understand your French friends,"You Engleesh, you do not know how to riot, you are deficient in so many ways". It was one weekend of madness caused by disenfranchised kids with smartphones then, surprisingly, it was over.
A lot of decent people got hurt and there was no political message just bad summer mayhem.
The government have gone nuts because riots seem to have struck a nerve since the 1800s and of course, they helped to bring about the sainted Maggie's decline.
The press have gone nuts because its the silly season.
The prisons have gone nuts because they were overcrowded already.

Still in mega heat-wave here... barely go the energy to peel a beetroot let alone go riot.
