Riots in the UK...

Just want to reiterate my stance. I dont condone looting or indiscriminate violence.

There are legitimate targets but for the most part these aren't being attacked - although my heart was warmed to see a Ladbrokes smashed in. Unfortunately its small businesses that are getting it - I imagine the police would go like **** if people tried to raid a tescos. Scenes of muggings are bitterly disappointed but then these aren't revolutionaries - just an angry poor isolated and much abused section of the community - round here it was a majority of young blacks and stop and search ignited it.

So villify these people all you want and perhaps for the most part they deserve it. But they are a symptom of a disease. The real disease is poverty, inequality and you must look to politicians, corporations, media oligarchs and the kind of scurrilous media that supports the false agenda's and propaganda, demonising the poor and the vulnerable rather than pointing the blame to the rich and the powerful. If there hadn't been such a land grab by the richest strata in society recently, causing a recession and cuts its doubtful any of this would happen.

The more these riots continue, the greater the chance at society breaking down; and even though I live in the middle of these areas (right in hackney - burning cars at the end of my street, I watched part of it frm my window) I can't help want to see that because our democracy is a complete joke.

Neon, hear some of them outline "their cause" mate. It's childish petulance and disregard for the communities they live in.

Don't excuse them, their cause is a country mile away from yours, which I have some sympathy for.

Aye. Next time I want to find out why we invaded iraq I'll interview some 18 year old squaddie who's deep in his cups; see what kind of articulate answer I get.

The root cause is inequality. The have's and the have nots.
