	Description:		Ed Howker is a co-founder of the Intergenerational Foundation and co-author of 'Jilted Generation: How Britain has Bankrupted its Youth'. The London riots have unleashed a storm of recrimination and anger, much of it focussing on the people, some of them very young, who looted shops and burned homes and businesses to the ground. Are the London rioters bad or merely misguided? Have they failed us because we first failed them? If it's true that society gets the children it deserves, do we deserve this because of our indifference to what is happening in our own cities? Ed asks if young people deserve their reputation? Producer: David Stenhouse.
