Zero Tolerance: Zero Effective?



This week, a split opened up between police and top politicians in Britain, following several days of rioting and looting throughout the country. Those taking part in the week's lawlessness in Britain have been using social networks extensively to co-ordinate their actions and elude police.

For more analysis of the UK unrest RT talks to John Rees, a political activist from London.
