Charlotte, no, I didn't take the Barnaby Rudge passage from my Kindle. I found an on-line version of the novel and copied it from there.

I think the interview Jayne is referring to is this one . There's a useful transcript of it as well. Here's the part where the girls give their political views:

GIRL: Like, it's the government's fault.

GIRL: I know...

GIRL: I dunno...

GIRL: Conservatives!

GIRL: Yeah, whatever who it is - I dunno.

GIRL: It's not even a riot - it's showing the people we can do what we want.

GIRL: Yeah, that's what it's all about - showing the police we can do what we want, and now we have.

LEANA HOSEA: So do you reckon it will go on tonight?

GIRL: Yeah hopefully, hopefully.

GIRL: Definitely.

GIRL: It's moved all around - hopefully...

GIRL: Yeah, hopefully, I want a few more things!

And then there's this little piece of advanced political thinking:

LEANA HOSEA: But these are like local people. I mean, why is it targeting local people and your own people?

GIRL: Because it's the rich people.

GIRL: It's the rich people, the people that have got businesses and that's why all of this has happened, because of the rich people.

So we're just showing the rich people we can do what we want.
