I'm sure these are out of work actors. It looks staged.

KENWRONG!!!!!!
 

We shouldn't be talking up a social or economical background to this.

It's just feral youth with absolute no respect for anything other than their greed. It's wanton destruction. They're been nannyed and brought up on 200 TV channels, iPods and laptops off Santa and expensive mobile phones.

Welcome to being an adult, where you have to earn things you pricks.


How am I doing?
 

SPG my arse, they need Cheapside in there.

*younger generation blues and out of towners totally mystified*
 
I'm made up. This is what happens when you brush a nation under the rug.

RISE UP!

Well, if you want to come 1/2 a mile down the road to my Bethnal Green Tescos, you can see it was looted good and proper last night. Not much police defence there

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.

I have friends who work with that very community in Hackney- who don't really help themselves too much when they trash the community centres set up to provide help and support, and steal the computers from the rooms set up to help them write CVs and cover letters and get them jobs and support.

It is a minority, but it is a very visible minority; as was witnessed last summer with London Field shootings, and the countless stabbings, and I myself have seen bikes stolen right in front of owners etc. For me, the deeper problem is a combination of only giving a **** about yourself and what you possess- and feeling that you can just take what you don't have- a desire to have "swagger" with your mates/ gang- and a lack of direction from the home. Everyone is always so swift to point the finger at schools, governments etc etc- but the first place you learn about morals/ values/ not just what your rights are but also your responsibilities is in the home. How can you create community support and bring about change, when it doesn't come from within? Then it's just imposed and will never last.
