What's Up With The Riots In The UK?

[Rastus]

Why all the riots in jolly old England?

Radio edit. Immigration policy, maybe its important.

I refer anyone who cares to the prophet Enoch Powell's "Rivers of Blood" speech for which he was roundly reviled and subsequently fired from Ted Heath's cabinet. Trouble is he couldn't have been more correct.
I still hold a British passport but it will be many years, maybe all my years before it sees any use.

Part of the endgame of an entitlement culture - same thing happened in Greece, but at least they waited until the cuts actually happened. The wankers in England are rioting because the cuts in entitlements were announced.

The "official" excuse is the killing of a guy by police. The leftoids in the UK are blaming Cameron's announcement of cuts of course.

Immigration is a part of it, but I saw one report where Turks in one section banded together and kept the riots out of their area.

Weak police force, more concerned with "feelings" rather than doing actual police work. Like shooting rioters torching stores with people in it.

Anarchists - the modern violent kind, not the more intellectual kind that sits around sucking up the benefits of a Capitalistic society while disdainfully decrying Capitalism - or any -ism for that matter. No, these modern anarchists love to create mayhem and cause damage. And they are allowed to - see previous comment re' police.

I saw a map of the London area, there were well over 2 dozen incident flags - and that is just London. It's spreading to other cities as well. People have been saying London was the most violent, dangerous city in the "civilized" world - and damned if they weren't right.

I gotta go find that wanker on another board who haughtily told me that London was perfectly safe, the reports of the violence were all overblown.

I read the book "The Empire Strikes Black" in grad school in my early twenties. It was about racism against afro Britians and Pakis in the UK, and how culture was often used as a code word for race. I read Powell's speech and thought he was a racist A-hole at the time. Now, in my early forties? I think he had a point. But what I really think is that the tragedy is that the common ground was missed, just as its being missed here. Allow immigration. Just limit the numbers per year and insist on assimilation. Screw multiculturalism.  It sounded good, but its suicide. I don't care about skin color, but if you don't like the culture of your host nation go elsewhere, we aren't changing for you. We should realize that by now. Sadly, it might be too late here as well.

Sad photograph of a young man is removing his clothes and giving them to the masked assh... that is robbing him. Another of a young man (student) surrounded by gang members and being robbed. I believe I have read that in Great Britton it is illegal to even defend yourself from these punks.

We see the beginnings of this same thing here in the US.

COMING TO A NEIGHBORHOOD NEAR YOU SOON!  

Listen to that first thing said a few times there.

The BBC had a video of 2 girls drinking stolen wine at 9am. Saying were going to show the conservatives, the cops and everyone that we can do what ever we want.
The reporter asked why were they burning down their own part of town. LOL
Just like east LA riots. At least burn down the RICH part of town. Never ceases to amaze me.

[fightingquaker13]

I've wondered the same thing 2How. "Man, we aren't to take it! We gonna burn down the hood! That'll show 'em. ::") And hell, in England its not even like they need to worry about getting shot if they hit the richer parts of town either. They're just lazy I guess.I mean hey, why go down town to loot Harrods and Tiffaneys when the corner liquor store is right there?
FQ13 Who hopes maybe this might change British thinking about SD and firearms

    If they had much going on upstairs they likely wouldn't be living in "the hood" to begin with.
