Re: London


The roots of these appalling events are many and tangled, but for the moment let’s just focus on one: the way Britain’s educational establishment has cringed helplessly in the face of a gang culture that rejects every tenet of liberal society. It’s violent, it’s sexist, it’s homophobic and it’s racist. But it is broadly tolerated by many people in the black community, which has lost control of its teenage youths. Those youths scare the wits out of teachers and social workers – and some police officers, too. The threat of physical violence is ever present in many schools, and one can hardly blame individual teachers for recoiling from it. But we should and must blame those schools and education authorities that have made extra space for gang culture in children’s lives because they believe it is an authentic expression of Afro-Caribbean and Asian identity. We are seeing a lot of black faces on our screens tonight; it’s a shame that the spotlight can’t also fall on those white multiculturalists who made this outrage possible.

Re: London

The EDL actually started a riot last night

Riot police were hit with missiles including bottles as more than 1,000 officers battled with dozens of middle-aged men on the streets Eltham, south-east London.

Witnesses reported that many of the 200 men were chanting in support of the English Defence League, the controversial Right-wing group.

The group had promised to defy police orders and mobilise their own forces to protect their families and businesses from mobs of looters.

Last night hundreds of police from eight separate forces tried to restore calm from the mainly white men

Does anyone one really believe better education and better living standards would prevent incidents like these? We always have and always will live in a society where some people are rich and some are poor. Every winner needs a loser in the western dream.

education and less TV

Re: London

education and less TV

And a media that informs the public on the issues, not on Charlie Sheen's drug habit (referring to America of course). We're probably not far away from a public uprising here I would imagine given the ongoing circumstances of unemployment.

I was going to post something, but I'm too drunk to make any sense.

No what they wanted to do was to lock down internet traffic in the area for a period of time in order to contain the outbreak
