Rory: Thanks so much for posting the poem by Charles Causley (I love him!)... And yes, there will always be riots... And yes, the poor will always be with us, I suspect... And yes, the two are connected, I'm afraid...
Chris, conny, and George: thanks for all the constructive comments! The juxtaposition of the Nike ads is certainly ironic. Thanks, conny. I also suspect that
some sneaker manufacturers get a bit of unintended advertising during the filming of street protests and such...
Quote:
also, on the Guardian website just below the poem, was an
advert for the latest Nike id trainers. They retail for $130.
