The London Riots a Year On, Daily Mail Comment Piece





This comment article by Linday Johns appeared in the Daily Mail a year after the riots. It tries to evaluate the riots and puts together a series of proscriptions about what "we" can do to stop them from happening again. Its use of "we" and "Britain" is interesting, as its framing of young people. It also employs a whole host of rhetorical devices.

Hope you all find it interesting. Here's the link:
