Boris Johnson and Nick Clegg were both heckled on Tuesday as they visited riot-hit areas in London and Birmingham.

London Mayor Johnson was told by crowds to "resign" in Clapham junction, and asked "why are you here now.. it's too late." A resident asked him where the police were last night, telling him: "No one was here to defend me".

In Birmingham, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg was booed by local residents and told "don't you think you're a bit too late".

Far from the inspirational figure, facing up to Boris Johnson, the young lad who tackled him was part of an elaborate fixup. I tackled @jbnew, on twitter and he admitted the speech from the yung lad and the carefully placed CNN camera were all part of a scam to embarrass the Mayor.

Leon appeared on SKY today, complaining that there were no incentives from the Mayor to help young people. THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE LIE. Please read the truth about this video on my link above.

It might be just a photo op but at least Boris and Nick went to some of the affected areas, where was David?

You are just one more who wants to blame everything on race or joblessness. You claim this because you want something for nothing and have no other way to rationalize your greed.
Remember the "Depression" of the 20's? There were people unable to feed their families and they did not behave in criminal ways.
My guess is you yourself are a criminal and crybaby.
Get a life.

The guy said listen to the black youth and the riots are clearly about blacks being kept from jobs due to racism in England, yet the title of this article does not even mention that.

Ok i guess it will just be more frustration since you keep ignoring the black people in those areas.
