"But as we talk about what happened in the riots we must be honest with ourselves.
Children’s ideas of right and wrong don’t just come from their parents.
And we can’t honestly say the greed, selfishness and gross irresponsibility that shocked us all so deeply is confined to the looters or even to their parents.
It’s not the first time we’ve seen this kind of me-first, take what you can culture.
The bankers who took millions while destroying people’s savings: greedy, selfish, and immoral.
The MPs who fiddled their expenses: greedy, selfish, and immoral.
The people who hacked phones to get stories to make money for themselves: greedy, selfish and immoral.
People who talk about the sick behaviour of those without power, should talk equally about the sick behaviour of those with power."
