It also mentions that ONE child was 11 years old.
Of course, in addition to the actual ages stated, we should remember when reading the report that the BBC is an anti-establishment, anti-police and anti-British organisation and, as such, will have put its own bias on the events.
By the way, didn't the Labour party recently ask for the voting age to be lowered to 16? Or was it even lower?

Well it was a tuition fee protest so they would have been mostly in their teens. I've no idea what labour are proposing on voting ages but what's that to do with demos?
Here is the same story non BBC :

The alternative would be to let them starve - or resort to cannibalism.
Now to do that WOULD be racist!

These people need to take responsibility for their own actions, instead of blaming everyone else.
"I'm always being persecuted and feel underprivileged, so I think I'll go and commit some acts of violence, bit of vandalism, and loot a shop for a 60" tv"
Yep, that'll get people on your side eh?
