Speaking truth to power. The scheme this kid's talking about, Connexions, which helped him find a job, is one of the schemes the government closed down. If you reduce the legitimate opportunities that under-privileged youth have to better themselves, then you ought to at least be able to accept the possibility that the less-motivated amongst them are likely to resort to whatever opportunities present themselves.
The other guy is Boris Johnson, former Conservative MP and current Mayor Of London. Hizzoner is a former member of The Bullingdon Club, a notorious (and still active) dining and drinking club based at the University Of Oxford, whose trademark was to trash whichever restaurant they'd dined in at the end of each night. Also in the Bullingdon Club at the same time as Johnson was PM David Cameron and Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne (or Gideon Osborne, as he was known back then). These guys would always pay for the damage they caused, usually in cash - but then they could afford to. Moreover, a taste for unruly behaviour, criminal damage and a flagrant disregard for the property of others (small businesses in particular) hasn't proved much of an impediment to either Johnson, Cameron or Osborne (whose own father gave him his first job - there's your fucking bootstraps right there), so you have to wonder how anti-social "anti-social behaviour" actually is. What they never seemed to consider - and this is something they had in common with the rioters - was that someone still had to clear that shit up once they'd had their fun.
