London Riots

I put it down to 'social commentators' on the news and in the papers.

Sociology professors and experts in 'The Psychology of the Rioter' have to earn their money somehow.

It's a shame so many of them talk absolute bollocks.

Unfortunately a generation of do-gooders in Britain have convinced many youngsters that they are the victims and everything is someone else's fault.
We gave children 'rights' we taught them how to falsely accuse teachers and those in authority.

Philip Larkin - This Be The Verse

They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.

But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another's throats.

Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don't have any kids yourself.

With all the taxation that buys free services in the UK the poor still want more? We have posters wishing to abolish the only economic class that holds their economy together? This is the kind of fomenting that leads to violence... Class warfare is a Trojan horse in a socialistic democracy. The problem the poor have in the UK, is, that they are without hope of rising out of the mediocre economic quagmire created by huge tax burdens. Tax burdens they opened up their arms to for free services...now they feel the chains.

It has nothing to do with the poor wanting more. The so-called "free services" have been cut.

As for class warfare do you believe a person earning $3,000,000/yr works 100 times "harder" than a person earning $30,000/yr? If a person earning $30,000 deserves a decent place to live does a person earning $3,000,000 deserve 100 decent places to live?

If a person earning $20,000/yr has to try and feed their family of four with only enough food for three decent dinners should another individual be earning $2,000,000/yr (100 times more) and be able to feed their family of four with food enough to satisfy 300 people?

When the "Haves" talk about class warfare the words "jealousy" and "envy" are invariably used to describe the "Have-Nots", yet, I have never heard a "Have-Not" complain about not owning a $50,000 automobile or a 5,000 sq. ft. home on an acre of land or having a yacht docked at the local marina.

And then there's those earning $30,000,000/yr. How can someone possibly believe anyone in entitled to 1,000 times more than the average person? But it doesn't stop there. There are those who believe it is unjust to expect the individual earning 1,000 times more than the average person to be content with 900 times the amount and contribute the remaining 100 times to the welfare of others.

Expecting someone who can afford 1000 dinners to contribute 500 of those dinners or 200 of those dinners or even 100 of those dinners to the needy is considered an evil, society-destroying way of thinking.

Until people understand what's wrong with that picture there will be class wars and the more disparate the classes become the more severe the riots will become. The strange thing is we all know that. History is replete with examples. And what's even stranger is many of those whom support the injustice are far closer to the needy than they are to the wealthy.

One could say it's a form of mass insanity.

Coming soon to your neighborhood.....so learn to cringe and grovel and beg....

Some 525 arrests have been made in London alone and dozens were arrested in other cities. Police announced Tuesday that plastic bullets would be "one of the tactics" available to officers to quell the riots.

Plastic bullets, wow...they really mean business....next thing you know they'll be shooting cotton balls at the criminals.....

Next thing they'll be saying "STOP or I'll be forced to say STOP again".

Plastic bullets can be fatal and cause intense pain if you're hit with one. They pack just as much force and have just as much gunpowder in them as a live round, the material is just designed to be non-lethal. You're an idiot if you think that's a soft riot control technique - apparently anything besides using 100% lethal force in all cases is soft riot control to conservatards*. We should be more like the Chinese in Tianman square and just fire real bullets into vast crowds of people when much less force would do the job just as well.

*Who deserve to be executed.

It would take a conservative to get hit by a bullet and think "Man, that would be no problem at all if it hadn't pierced into my flesh. All of this intense pain is nothing and could easily be ignored."

I remember once seeing a TV programmed about Northern Ireland where the game of baseball is never played yet the bats are sold in large quantities. The presenter went into some sport shops to ask them why this is but surprise surprise they were very reluctant to say anything.

I live near Sheffield and there has been nothing here, Charver lives in the back of beyond in Cumbria. You would think from the news that the whole country was in turmoil.

Staged a vigil outside the house last night, just in case. Managed to scare off three pigeons and a rum looking cove claiming to be "delivering newspapers". Still, even on her bicycle she couldn't outrun the car, probably due to the stabilisers. No foresight these young thugs.

Thanks for the concern though, froggie.

I'm well out of it ;)

You're a racist, obviously.
 
Ha! Liberals are rioting in London:
One of the very few examples of hearing opinion directly from those involved has been the brief interview that Leana Hosea, a journalist for the BBC World Service, conducted with two teenage girls who had joined the looting in Croydon. How much of it was drunken bravado, playing up for the reporter, is unclear, but, overall, the dialogue was bleak. As one girl said casually of the looting, “Got a couple of free things,” and both laughed. Then one of the girls seemed compelled to provide a justification, explaining, “It’s the government’s fault,” to which her friend replied, “Conservatives,”
