Exactly. The sooner, the better. It will bring this kind of thing to an end. And do it determinedly, permanently, and thoroughly. Among other things, this means for you personally to quit being a socialist. I know what you've got invested in this false god, but were I you I'd simply jettison the whole construct. The riots are precisely the Clockwork Orange result of socialistic thinking and policymaking, further aggravated with classist thinking, which plagues European society and I am not excluding the British. At least one British editorial has drawn this very point.

This is the end of the welfare state, in flames and broken glass. Good riddance, say I.
