One of Britain's richest men says he fears the gap between rich and poor could lead to violence and rioting on the streets.

Lets face it, the real cause of high crime rates is a large gap between rich and poor. It has been shown in countries time and again to be the major cause of high crime rates. We can list as many things as we want, immigration, poor education, bad government, but if we get the balance between rich and poor right, we will cut crime.

the rich are rich because they genearally work harder or are better at business. if you're talking about people on minimum wage then yes they should be paid more. unfortunately the large influx of immigrants ensures theres plenty of people willing to work for peanuts. the riots, if there are any, will be, as in france, caused by, largely immigrants with an ulterior motive.

It's hardly news is it? It's always been that way, and every now and again a tiny group of radicals of one form or another will take it upon themselves to stir the pot of social hate.
