lol..now I KNOW you are taking the p!ss!!!!

Your post insinuated that it is a UK problem, bottom line is that it isn't. It happens elsewhere.

Not rocket science.

Poverty and hopelessness. Nothing new there.


How many riots do you get among the middle class, no matter what else is going on with their lives?

My post was about the UK as this is happening in the UK right now - not in Australia or elsewhere.

Don't try and use 'elsewhere' as a smoke screen for what is happening in London.

Well there were the ones earlier in the year with students complaining about uni fees.....

True - all rushing into John Lewis and grabbing bolts of Liberty cloth and sets of Portmeirion china

Can you still get Portmeirion china? How revolting! Actually I was thinking of the uni students pissing on the Cenotaph, swinging from the Union Flag, smashing up Maccas, the window of the car holding Charles and Camilla etc but never mind.

Oh you can. Middle class England couldn't get by without it.

But yes, I know what you mean. Rockstar children swinging from the flag aren't a proper riot, but at least those riots were about something, despite the hangers on that were just in it for the riot alone. These riots just seem to be down to a total disconnect from the very idea of society. It's taken us some time to grow this lot, they can't be the product of any recent changes alone.

Indeed, like a fine cheese they have matured with age.
Actually that's not quite the right description is it?

More like Stilton to my mind. Feral revolting mouldy crap that stinks.

Bad example set by our "leaders".

There's a difference between mould that you've grown on purpose to eat with digestive biscuits and a nice glass of wine, and mould that is filling up your basement because you never pay any attention to what's going on down there and just throw junk down there to get it out of the way.

Loving this vid this morning... so totally sums it up...

In 6 months time they'll be rioting again because "the government don't give us no shops or nothing".

I'm sure their parents are proud.
