Surely this guy has had enough people hear him already without it being posted here?

But the riots are not race riots. If anything, it's class riots (although that, too, is being questioned).

Alien, i don't think this is a race riot at all. Otherwise we'd be seeing more specifically targetted attacks against people, one thing the riots haven't had too badly which is very surprising.

You could call this class riots if you wanted to; this is the rioting of the little chavvy bastard kids who have all been promised superstar futures - they don't think they have to work hard for a living, they don't think they're the people who have to be binmen or janitors. Perhaps with the increase in tuition fees they're not thinking about university and now they're facing up to leaving school and getting a shit job.

It's not new - the university system is just a great place to educate EVERYONE poorly and give us millions of extremely qualified simpletons who now think they don't deserve to work as binmen or cleaners, but by that time they'd reached an age where they had to put up, shut up, and get a crap job. So maybe now people are realising at an earlier age that there's no superstar future for them and they're angry.

That could be a small bit of it. But most of all, it's a riot of little chavvy bastard kids who no longer have any respect (due to declining discipline at home and at school, thanks molly coddle culture) nor any fear for the pitiful consequences that follow.

Whilst i've been out - shopping, exercising, walking, socialising - I've been spoken to by PARENTS or people of parenting age like i was a piece of shit. I've been told to fuck off for telling someone "look out!" when they nearly crossed the tram tracks near me when a tram was coming; a parent with fucking kids! That's the kind of thing you expect 13 year olds to do and it's being done by the people who are raising or have raised our thirteen year olds! What then are the next 13 year olds gonna turn out like? Well, see for yourself right now.

Go and ask a retired teacher the state of affairs cos just like my dad they'll tell you; 30 years ago, a parent would come in on parents evening and hear that their kid was misbehaving and their kid would get in DEEP shit and start booking their ideas up 99% of the time. Nowadays and in recent times, parents are far more likely to shout at the fucking TEACHER if their kid is misbehaving. Either "why are you keeping my kid in detention all the time, are you a bully?" or "why aren't you teaching my kid discipline?" or sometimes BOTH one after the fucking other.

Fuck this fucking country man. Rant over.

This is simply what happens when you push and bully people, eventually they push back. The UK has advanced far towards a police state and is a kind of testing ground for what some would like the rest of Europe and north America to become. People who experience inequality and police brutality on a daily basis eventually had enough and further police clamping down is probably the opposite of what one should do to calm things down. And it is truly a calming down that is needed. Further escalation is a very dangerous thing to exercise for the nation.

I don't think it is either dude, see some of my recent comments. I thought I made my posting intention plain in the summary, that whether this is a race thing or not, plenty of people will believe it to be and the BNP will benefit from this.

Racism has always been a formidable tool of the control structure. Often in these "progressive and enlightened" times, those who cry racism the fastest and loudest are those who have been programmed the most effectively.

@alien_concept fair enough then, worst thing that can happen is the BNP benefitting from this.
