I don't know how much coverage it has had abroad but London's had rioting and looting the over the last two nights in some areas of the city. All very ugly and it is looking like no one is going to come out of this looking good.
Blaming blacks and foreigners for it all. Then somebody linked a video of a couple of white kids lighting a Miss Selfridges on fire. Today he's blaming leftist students for it all.

True, but if tests are inconclusive rather than merely incomplete those proofs may not be available.
