worth bearing in mind that Scarman's report into the 1981 Brixton riots criticised the media for their role in "escalation of the disorders"
And they're not talking about Enfield much today either. Maybe that's deliberate policy as a result of Scarman to not give others reason to go out and cause trouble in their area as well?

If the Met hasn't got the resources to control a flare up in a small area, it really wouldn't help to cover this too closely, as the looters are taking advantage of overstretch already.
