A lot has been said over the past week or so on the London Riots. David Cameron and Ed Milliband are even now debating the different approaches that should be taken in the aftermath of the riots.
Gerard Hemmings, minister at Amyand Park Chapel Twickenham had his letter printed in ‘The Telegraph’ on the 9th August. I think he is talking a lot of sense:
“SIR - Having taught our children that there is no absolute right and wrong; having assured them that relationships, like Lego, can be formed and broken at a whim; having told them that he who has the most wins; having severed a generation from all that is true and right and good and lovely - why should the riots come as any surprise?
We have reaped what we have sown.”

Well said Gerry, but some of us continued to try to teach children the difference between right and wrong. However, it isn't getting easier.
