Violent Disorder in the UK? 2 years.
Lethal Disorder in the US? Well, it all depends on if you felt "threatened" or not, innit?
1300 sentences from a riot, half of them ending in jail time? Apparently you can only riot over football matters? That was surprising to me. I already knew MY country was full of racist a-holes.

Isn't Robert Zimmerman bob Dylan's real name?
So...
the racist killer, being the son, is actually the lead singer of the Wallflowers?
Who are Spencer's fave band.
Ergo Spence is racialist himself?

Or have a glass full of spare change near their beds. That they don't have.

Wow. Oh European sociology, you're the best! How horrible that all your strip clubs have been ruined by women trying to make money and not for "the love of the sport." On this side of the pond, we assume that ALL strippers are doing it to make money, but unless they pretend like they're doing it for "the love of the sport," they probably make crappy tips.

That article was pretty amazing. "A serious study of strippers shows that some of them are under par..."
So some dudes traveled the country watching strippers. Conclusion: "stripping ain't like it was in the old days, innit, because the old willie just take a bit longer to stand up and salute, if yeh know what I mean, so it must be the strippers."
