    BBC and Sky la. Two cheeks of the same arse. Both the left one, obviously.

    You don't think 'street party clashes' is an unusual and rather revealing way to describe significant civil unrest in which 15 police officers were injured, no? I mean, I can think of a single word that describes these events: rioting. But they didn't use that word. I wonder why?
