Well this has been on the lips of many journalists, politicians and commentators alike and with many varying stances on what caused the riots, but today the general consensus is that it all started on the 8th a june.
This is the day Liverpool lavished £16 million raising to £20 million for Jordan Henderson, and replaced him with the infinately better Seb Larsson for free.
This is where the first incident of looting took place, in the eyes of many but some have argued it could have gone as far back as the 31st of January when Newcastle mugged Liverpool of £35 million for ex byker grover Andy 'the ponytail' Carroll.
The looting continued throughout the summer with Aston Villa getting in on the action and seizing the opportunity to steal £20 million in a move that saw Stewart 'milan' Downing move to the merseysiders in what looked a strikingly similar move to that of 12 months earlier when the freebe Milan Jovanovic signed for the club.
Once the looters and rioters saw this going on it was inevitable it would spread and so it did with the mass looting of several cities, i think it is now fair to say Liverpool FC started all of it.

When you put it like that, it makes Liverpool an even bigger laughing stock.

Yes RentBoy, he was. Let's call it £22M. Give or take.

At least the "looting" improved our balance of payments - some £100million from America to the UK. They're $14 trillion in debt so it could be worse.
