It's impossible to forget this image of the House of Reeves family-run furniture store in Croydon burning during the London riots. The mindless looter who boasted he set fire to the building has been jailed for 11-and-a-half years. His name? Gordon Thompson, aged 34, old enough to know better (title link). I'd have doubled his sentence. UK law is too soft. That's why so many criminals come here.
