Speaking in French, Dr Rainbow Murray commented on the causes and consequences of the recent riots in Britain.  With David Cameron, Theresa May and Boris Johnson all on holiday when the riots erupted, Rainbow suggests the government was caught off guard and has been slow to convince anyone that it has got a grip on the situation. At the height of the tourist season and less than a year from the Olympics, this is not the image that London would wish to present to the rest of the world, she noted. (Dr Murray was also interviewed twice on this subject for Radio Canada.)
