So, um, what is this a case of? Idle hands.. Destructive culture... what? It doesn't seem to resemble the government related stuff in Greece.
Criminal behaviour. There are various excuses being offered by the Left of social injustice but I'm having none of it. NO excuse for this sort of thing.

Indeed. They probably say that the height limit on a McDonald's playplace is social injustice...
Well, good luck, and don't leave home without a handy sidearm!

After reading and seeing news of those baste....annoying idiots rioting here in the UK, I was woundering if anyone had views on the matter, or had been affected by them.

apart from reading about there being a riot in the UK on a newspaper headline I've heard nothing about it and frankly don't care, they'll get some teargas and calm down sooner or later.

There are deep socio-economic problems that must be solved if these riots are to never happen again. I am afraid that Cameron's fist-pounding demonstrates that he, his government, and society at large doesn't understand why Britain has turned into the dystopian world seen in "A Clockwork Orange."
There is a fascinating article on the New York Times which gives some insight into the minds of these rioters.
The rioters are disillusioned, disenfranchised young people who don't believe they have any future. They sit idly, unemployed, watching the clock tick day by day, subsisting on government handouts and subsidies. It only takes a spark to get them riled up. What the government needs to do now is to show that it cares.
Furthermore, the fact that parents can't exert any control over their children is a demonstration of the decline of morality across all stratas of British society. The MPs lie about their expenses and relations with the media, the police lie about who they arrest and kill, and the disenfranchised poor steal with impunity.
I fear this - this disease of poor morals and impunity may spread to the United States.

There should've been a public announcement that looters would be shot on sight.
If they are going to act like primates, then they will be put down like primates.

What is he to do? He can't turn a blind eye. Law and order must be established and the rioters punished before any potential grievances can be heard. You may give reasons for their behaviour, but try telling that to the people who have had their businesses destroyed. It is certainly no excuse.

I agree. But it seems that most of the looters are getting off easy. I heard that one of the looters arrested has already been released from custody (granted, he only stole a few shirts).

I heard cops finally got weapons with plastic bullets and water canons.
About bloody time, they should have used it from start like every country in world.

Bear in mind it's the same BBC who issued an edict to its staff saying the 7th July bombers weren't to be referred to as "terrorists". Can't quite work out the rationale behind that sort of thing.Agamo45 wrote...
BBC still calling them protesters. Pff, call these rats what they are, opportunistic scumbags who just want an excuse to loot and steal from working people.

Comment from the manchester evening news.
I am a police officer in GMP. Do you not think we would like nothing better than to hand out some proper justice to these mindless idiots. I live and work in this city...This is OUR CITY !
You need to vent your frustration at the government. Human rights and Mr Cameron dictate what we can and can't do.
Get behind the police...the true heroes of this country who do this kind of stuff every single day and fail to get the recognition we deserve...whilst working for peanuts, with a pay cut imment..disgraceful
And a readers reply.
Andrew Swettenham, if you don't like the terms and conditions of your job, go and get a different one.
As someone who works in the private sector, generating the tax revenue that you live on, I'm not impressed by your inflated sense of entitlement.

This junk happens in every country. Multiple tensions combines with circumstance and sparks an act of violence then you get various radical groups climbing out of every crack in the floor trying to paste their "cause" on it to try to make it something bigger than it really is.
I think what your government needs to do is show these cockroaches that they can't continue to steal from the working class and get away with it. These leeches live off of welfare, and now they think they're entitled to more. There is a similar mindset that is growing quickly here in America, fueled by our leaders.XX55XX wrote...
