Labour leaders who go along with them.
Labour MPs have not been crushed in the rush to state their opposition to both the increased militarisation of the police force and the erosion rights.
They have not spoken out against the bans that have been demonstrations yet again.
They have not spoken out against what amounts to a curfew on all those arrested.
Repressive policing techniques have increased over the last few years, not as a result of the riots as some would have it, but the result of the ruling class's increasing inability to rule by consent.
Bans are enforced, state racism is further institutionalised with the Nationality Bill, and workers' rights are further eroded with Prior's law.
Now we are faced with a new Riot Act and while Labour MPs may bleat a bit, most have been silent in the past in opposing such undemocratic laws as the Prevention of Terrorism Act.
The youth rebellion has symbolised all that's wrong with Tory cities allowed to rot while billions of pounds are spent on the country's nuclear weapons.
Labour leaders have to state now that they are for an charged during the recent upsurges.
They have to openly oppose the use of bans and the attacks on the right of communities to defend themselves from racist and fascist attacks.
They have to state that the only solution for youth, for the whole working class, is to get rid of this government once and for all. And that means acting now.
We want a Labour government committed to socialist policies, another one that does the Tories' dirty work for them.
