If you look at this article and this and also this, and even this you will realise that many people in England have lost faith.
The fact that there is looting by the youth as young as 12 or even younger indicates that there is a generally growing trend of secularism. Given that the items looted are mainly electronics like laptops and phones, not to mention designer clothes, it would seem the rioters are satisfying a need to be as materialistic as their richer friends.
There is no contentment, there is lack of restraint, frustration, no conscience at all. Why? God has been forgotten. Right and wrong thrown to the dogs. One wonders why the same people impose rules on other states who are still seeking the direction of God.
If a leadership abandons God, the people being led follow suit. When the economy takes precedence in a man's affairs, his conscience surely departs.
I could have said more, but my opinion is, these riots show us that England has stopped teaching her children the values, ethics, morals that come from the knowledge of Our Maker.
There is a lack of godliness in England. How sad yet it was England that brought the knowledge of God to this country.
Alas.
Proverbs 14:34.

Hey! I think you're being unfair... That's what the news reports. But in what country WOULDN'T that happen?
The only issue I have with the reporters is that they report the exact location of the riots. If it were an African city, they'd take it as the WHOLE of Africa being in turmoil.
Safyre, Proverbs 14:24. And it applies to all godless states. The difference between England and Africa is that England is supposed to be a more enlightened place, more educated, etc.
If you looked at the links, there is a direct link between God and civil disorder everywhere. England's colors have just risen to the top.
I am not unfair. Just looking at facts. Think of a nation which exalts God, and you will see a nation that is peaceful.
But what am I being unfair about anyway?
I have tagged you over at mine, Ssebo. Kindly give me ko some time. Thank you.
