Is that from after the Riot Act was repealed?
I think the insurance companies took a huge hit after the 2011 riots
when for example most of woolwich high street got torched or looted, so
yes it should cover such damage. Goggle quotes Aviva saying that 2011
riots could cost them £750 million. Unfortunately the police are still
very poorly prepared for such riots. I mean what if instead of a few
dozen or at the most 200 thugs there were 000s? They cant even protect
their own police stations: a few years ago in oxford 'someone' torched a
police station with an incendary and damaged all the police cars in
another the same nite.
