Hello and welcome.
I would like to welcome you all here today, and I am glad to see that so many have turned up. I am very pleased to stand in front of you all, and I have been looking forward to this conference.

As a start my name is Anna, and I am a politically active student, currently studying at the University of London. I have been invited here today, to give a speech about the latest events concerning riots in the streets all across the UK.

The past year has been chaotic. Teens and even children all the way down to nine-year-old boys are destroying and looting the streets, and spreading fear amongst the local population in the affected areas even during daytime.

Shop owners and employees are standing on the side-lines watching their jobs and stores getting destroyed and not to speak of the people who are getting their homes violated by outrages teens, and we cannot tolerate this anymore.

Apparently nobody knows the exact reason that these riots began to show up, but in my opinion it spread because of the unemployment and poverty amongst youngsters, and by joining the riots there is a possibility of getting profit from the many shopliftings taking place during the riots.

On the other hand it could be a copycat-thing to theft and many of the those present properly being involved in some kind of gangs, makes it more likely, that in the end, it will turn out violent.

During one of the riots a young 29-year-old man named Mark Duggan was shot by a policeman, which caused more tension between the rebels and the authorities, and the locals getting even more caught up in the middle.

The government does not think that the riots is about the killing of the 29-year-old Mark Duggan, but simply enough theft, which I agree on. In my opinion this just seems like an excuse for them to let the show go on.
