The area of Colchester has been mercifully free so far of any civil unrest that has ravaged so much across Britain's inner cities these last few days. It seems that the most volatile areas are those where the policing is sadly at its most liberal or at its most under-funded, whereas in Colchester - an area not unfamiliar with rowdy, chavvish behaviour - any reciprocal violence in response to any other acts of vandalism has been quietly kept in check.
For those removed from the danger, it seems exaggerated and aloof. For those in the midst of the terror, the sense of insecurity is palpable. All one can do is carry on going about one's normal lives. Carefully.
