You don't need to have lost something to be deprived. You can be deprived of chances that others have.

  Which are what exactly? Unless I'm mistaken the people of Tottenham get free educations to the age of 18 same as everyone else in the UK. They also have as good a public transport infrastructure as anywhere else and can work anywhere in London.

    Well that's what we're trying to find the answer to: what's different about this group of people?
    • gaius 15y ago
      And I told you. They've been given so much they can't now see why they can't just take anything they want. Seriously, you don't fight for freedom/education/"a chance" by nicking a 50" plasma TV. And doing so is an insult to people like, for example, the Libyans and Egyptians who really did - and do - fight for something worthwhile.

        But that's no answer at all - all of this "free stuff" you talk about is available to other groups who did not loot.

          They probably also had different upbringing, and grew with mindset that society owns them something. Why? Who knows. Just because. It simmilar where I am. People don't bother to go to elections and then complain to no end how bad tha parlament is as if that parlament was somehow forced onto us…

            I don't agree. "Just because" is no answer. And your first point is an opinion, not a fact, your last point is a different issue.

          Yes, except if I want a 50" plasma TV (I still have a 28" CRT!) I would earn money and then buy one.
