The recent riots throughout London and now further afield have raised many questions that affect us all. For owners of businesses and business premises, these questions now include how to prepare for the potential disorder that appears to be spreading throughout our urban centres. I am certain that many conversations are focused around how this disorder could happen on such a scale and without any apparent warning but the more important question is why? The “middle class” riots following the cuts in student tuition fees and now the “urban poor” riots and low morale in the Police Force due to impending cuts are merely symptoms of a wider malaise in which Nero fiddles whilst Rome Burns. However, think about who may have somthing to gain from this situation and what the cause/effect result might be and you’ll probably find yourreal answer.
I’d love to write a full post on these issues but better and more extensive coverage can be found here from a variety of observers with differnt points of view

Just a final point to all those in business – if you rent or own a business premises, check that your insurance covers you for riot and disorder & terrorism as it is now time to expect the unexpected.
On a slightly more optomistic note, autumn & winter is always followed by spring so now’s the time start preparing to plant those bulbs.
